The barbarians of the outer reaches intend to play Cinnabar and Cinnabar's enemy, the totalitarian Alliance, against each other and bring both empires down like a house of cards. The pirates have commandeered starships that can outmaneuver even Captain Leary's trusty RCN corvette. But speed and tech don't count for everything. The Princess Cecile has the incomparable Daniel Leary and his trusted aide Adele Mundy in command.
