Title: In the stormy red sky
Description: If you haven't read the previously books on Lt. O'Leary, do yourself a favor and return this until you reach the proper place in the sequence of this series - you'll thank me.  Why?  Well, the series is just that good - though how it could be otherwise when it's written by David Drake is beyond me.  In this book, O'Leary is promoted to Captain, then a temporary brevet to Admiral.  It's well worth reading the story to find out why.  Note:  on this particular issue of the Open Library book, pages 72-73 are missing.  I didn't find it hurt the story much, though to any dedicated reader such is a mite galling.
