A Friendship Forged in Hell!
Daniel Leary is a lieutenant in the Republic of Cinnabar Navy with no money and no prospects since he quarreled with his ruthless, politically powerful father.
Adele Mundy is a scholar with no money and no prospects since her family was massacred for conspiring against the Government of Cinnabar.
Kostroma is a wealthy planet which depends on diplomacy to stay independent in a galaxy whose two great powers, Cinnabar and the Alliance, battle for supremacy.
In a few hours, diplomacy is going to fail Kostroma. Daniel, Adele, and the scratch crew they gather aren't much to stand in the way of a powerful invasion fleet, but just possibly they're enough.
Men and women who hold courage cheap and honor more dear than life itself face impossible odds in a novel of color, intrigue and slashing action. From the corridors of a treason-ridden palace through the perils of unknown seas and hellish jungles to a final blazlng climax in space, the heroes never bow and the action never flags.
They have nothing on their side but each other—and heaven help whatever tries to stand in their way!

Excellent ReadThe second in Drake's terrific RCN Series. I love the whole 18th-19th century British Royal Navy set in a spacefaring, far future conceit.Despite his intellectual pursuits, Daniel Leary is a larger than life character with plenty of derring-do. The tragic, yet stoic Adele Mundy is the ice to Leary's fire. They make a great team and Leary's first independent command makes for a great adventure.

Product ReviewSlow start setting the story and environment, but once it gets going it's hard to put down. Great series! I like my sci-fi that has believable theory and characters that I would want to buy a beer. Again, great series, keep them coming.

Product ReviewI am but partway in. Its heavy going atm. My difficulty is with the names . They are foreign sounding and unnatural for me . I would shorten and simplify them to be easily remembered or the reader loses track of who is who very quickly.
Its proving to be a good read so far otherwise and you set the picture pretty well in the readers head.
Ill keep reading and if pleased have a look at some of your other works. ThanksPosted on
