Book Description
================
Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person
who likes an orderly universe. One where people follow the rules. Unfortunately
he lives in the real universe. The good news is that Travis is one of
those rare people who may like rules but has a talent for thinking outside
them when everything starts coming apart. That talent has stood him
- and the Star Kingdom - in good stead in the past, and it's one reason
he's now a "mustang" - an ex-enlisted man who's been given a commission
as a king's officer. The bad news is that two of the best ways of making
enemies ever invented are insisting on enforcing the rules...and thinking
outside them when other people don't. Travis learned that lesson the
hard way as a young volunteer in basic training, and he knows that if
he could just keep his head down, turn a blind eye to violations of
the rules, and avoid stepping on senior officers' toes, he'd do just
fine.
But the one rule Travis Long absolutely can't break is the one that
says an officer in the Royal Navy does his duty, whatever the consequences.
At the moment,there are powerful forces in the young Star Kingdom of
Manticore's Parliament that don't think they need him. For that matter
they're pretty sure they don't need the Royal Manticoran Navy, either.
After all, what does a sleepy little single-system star nation on the
outer edge of the explored galaxy need with a navy? Unhappily for them,
the edge of the explored galaxy can be a far more dangerous place than
they think it is. They're about to find out why they need the navy...and
how very, very fortunate they are that Travis Long is in it.
