Daniel Leary is a lieutenant in the Cinnabar Navy. Adele Mundy, whose family was massacred by the Government. Kostroma, which is under threat of invasion. Daniel, Adele, and the crew they gather aren't much to stand in the way of an invasion fleet. They have nothing on their side but each other and heaven help whatever tries to stand in their way!
Kostroma is a wealthy planet under the threat of invasion, and only Daniel, a lieutenant with no money and no prospects, and Adele, a scholar whose family was massacred, and a crew they managed to gather are there to save them.
