When you think it cant possibly get worse, fate slaps you on the ass and smirks, letting you know it can, and will.As if saving a quarter million humans, facing space aliens that's bent on genocidal annihilation of a certain human system ,and fearing that a possible assassination or revolt on the ship by loyal parliamentary men is not enough, our Lil' Admiral decides that he needs to get in touch with the 'civilization' and let them to know their out there. Facing system after system that's being raided or been raided in an old ship that takes nearly an whole day to cycle for hyperjump, the Admiral have to use hes mind instead of brute strength. Tricking the pirates on more than once occasion and running them off in others, he manages to save several systems aswell as capturing smaller pirate ships, although needing serious repairs due to pirates not being the best service and repair crew.And then he still need to worry about a certain sword-bearer and some 'responsibilities' she keeps insisting on him to do, aswell as keeping the aliens (Named Bugs) away from her homeworld.And as Jason looks for civilization, Capria, hes homeworld looks for him. This involves a family reunion. (Although quite bloody, literally, for a certain Admiral)Then there's the a certain incident involving an ship that outclasses Jason's Lucky Clover by every measure except sheer bulk and ability to absorb damage, doing a bit of piracy, which needs to be taken care of.This book will not let you rest, it will keep you up all night and once finished and gone to bed, you will dream about space gorillas (Did I forget to mention those?) and aliens jumping onto your ship trying to kill you, and quite possibly eat you.A great book, a must buy for any scifi fan.
