RCN #4

Violence racks Cinnabar. The fleets of the tyrannical Alliance are on the move, and at home class riots threaten to rip apart not only society but the Republic of Cinnabar Navy. Lt. Daniel Leary has earned promotion, but the needs of the Republic and the RCN require that he serve under an officer whose paranoia has already led him to execute crewmen out of hand. Signals Officer Adele Mundy has repeatedly proved her skills and loyalty as Cinnabar`s most accomplished intelligence agent, but now elements within the Republic want to draw her into a conspiracy like the one that led to her parent`s massacre. Leary and Mundy battle their way from riot-torn streets to spies in an outlying base and an anarchic planet where violence is the only law, but if they succeed at every stage, one test still remains: a space battle against an overwhelming Alliance force. Even for Daniel Leary it will be a difficult fight to win - and almost impossible to survive.

NO GUTS, NO GLORY
Lt. Daniel Leary has earned promotion, but politics have put him under an officer whose paranoia has already led him to execute men out of hand. Signals Officer Adele Mundy has repeatedly proved her loyalty as Cinnabar`s most accomplished intelligence agent, but now elements within the Republic want to draw her into a conspiracy like the one that led to her rich and pow-erful family`s massacre.
Leary and Mundy must face riot-torn streets, spies in an outlying base, and an anarchic planet where violence is the only law. Only if they succeed at every stage will they reach the final test: a space battle against an over-whelming force. Even for Daniel Leary it will be a diffi-cult fight to win-and almost impossible to survive.

Praise for the Lt. Leary series:
`The narrative is as sure and quick as Leary`s own fighting yacht the Princess Cecile.`
-Cecelia Holland

dashing Horatio Hornblower tactics and vintage John Wayne heroics... a full measure of appealing derring-do.`
-Publishers Weekly

`...vivid battle scenes... clever and resourceful protagonists...
action-packed space opera....`
-Library Journal
