Full Description
Captain Daniel Leary and his friend, the spy Adele Mundy, have been in the
front lines of Cinnabar's struggle against the totalitarian Alliance. Now these
galactic superpowers have signed a peace of mutual exhaustion... but the jackals
are moving in! The Republic of Cinnabar was on the verge of collapse under the
weight of taxes, casualties, and war's disruption of trade. That the Alliance of
Free Stars was in even worse condition helped only because it has made peace
possible. Years of war have been hard on Daniel and harder still on Adele, whose
life outside information-gathering is a tightrope between despair and deadly
violence. Their masters in the RCN and the Republic's intelligence service have
sent them to the fringes of human space to relax away from danger. But the
barbarians of the outer reaches have their own plans, plans which will bring
down both Cinnabar and the Alliance. Unless Daniel, Adele, and their unlikely
allies succeed, galactic civilization will disintegrate into blood and chaos. So
they will succeed — or they'll die trying!
