Description
In the Stormy Red Sky by David Drake introduces us to Daniel Leary, Cinnabar's most successful space captain, and his companion, Lady Adele Mundy, Cinnabar's most efficient spy. Together, they embark on a mission of unprecedented challenges.
They face a vengeful Cinnabar Senator, a juvenile ruler of a star cluster who believes himself to be a deity, and a world populated by both slaves and escaped slaves. Their adversaries are formidable, including an almost indestructible enemy base.
From the grandeur of palaces to the depths of reeking jungles, and from gunfights in grimy hangars to commanding the flagship's bridge during epic space battles, Leary and Mundy find themselves in the thick of the action once again.
