Roy Olfetrie plans to become an officer in the Cinnabar Republic Navy, but when his father is exposed as a white-collar criminal, he must take whatever is offered.

What is offered turns out to be an opportunity to accompany Captain Daniel Leary and Lady Adele Mundy as they begin a war that will put Roy in danger.

The quest takes Roy from a pirate leader’s harem to a world of monsters, from interstellar travel in a half-wrecked spaceship to assassinations in luxury homes.

Pirates, politics and espionage – and waiting for Roy if he survives all the rest, a powerful warship.
