Description

When the Republic of Cinnabar doesn't have enough battleships to deal with all the crises in its war with the Alliance, it sends the next best thing: Commander Daniel Leary and his friend, the spy Adele Mundy. This time they're off to help the Bagarian cluster in its rebellion against the Alliance, but they'll quickly find that the worst threats to the rebels are the treacherous politicians leading them.

Another rollicking adventure featuring Daniel Leary and Adele Mundy as they defend Cinnabar from the forces of the Alliance of Free Stars and corrupt politicians who want to see him and his to fail.

The war between the Republic of Cinnabar and the Alliance of Free Stars (hah!!) is stretching both

sides to the breaking point. When the Bagarian Cluster rebels against the Alliance, the RCN doesn't have any fleets to send in to aid the rebels so they do the next best thing and send Daniel Leary, Adele Mundy and the crew of the Princess Cecilia to see what they can do to help but they find the locals had their own agendas in this rebellion (so what's new?). But what the locals hadn't taken into account was Daniel's past record of success and his unwillingness to be beaten. Even if his plan involves taking on the might of the planetary defences ro9und the home world of the Alliance itself!
