With the Lightnings
The first of the 10 book "Republic of Cinnabar Navy" series
David Drake is a Vietnam vet, one of the original successful military SF series authors, and well-respected in the genre. Each book stands alone, but the series as a whole maintains a strong following - most recent release (2014) shows US Bookscan of 3,839 in HC and 2013 MM shows 9,426. Will appeal to fans of authors such as Jack Campbell, William C. Dietz and Tanya Huff, all of whom are part of Titan's strong military SF list.
The first of the 10 book Republic of Cinnabar Navy series
With the Lightnings introduces us to Daniel Leary, a lieutenant in the Cinnabar Navy with no money and no prospects. In contrast, Adele Mundy is a scholar whose family was massacred by the Government of Cinnabar.
Kostroma, a wealthy planet, is facing the threat of invasion. Together, Daniel, Adele, and their makeshift crew aren't much to stand against a powerful invasion fleet. However, they have each other, and heaven help whatever tries to stand in their way!
