by David Drake (Author)
Daniel Leary is Cinnabar's most successful space captain; his friend, lady Adele Mundy is its most efficient spy - but they've got their hands full this time as they face a Cinnabar Senator furious at losing an election - and still powerful enough to make her anger deadly. The boy ruler of a star cluster who thinks he's a god - and who can sign the death warrants of even Cinnabar officials if a mad whimsy tells him to. A world of slaves and escaped slaves, where the most savage beasts in the jungle used to be human. An enemy base that could shrug off attack by powerful battle fleets-but which must fall to a single cruiser if Cinnabar is to survive. From palace to reeking jungle, from gunfights in grimy hangars to the flagship's bridge during a sprawling space battle, Leary and Mundy are in the thick of it again. Watch the galaxy explode - In the Stormy Red Sky .
