The Republic of Cinnabar Navy

The Far Side of the Stars

Violence racks Cinnabar. The fleets of the tyrannical Alliance are on the move, and at home class riots threaten to rip apart not only society but the Republic of Cinnabar Navy. Lt. Daniel Leary has earned promotion, but the needs of the Republic and the RCN require that he serve under an officer whose paranoia has already led him to execute crewmen out of hand. Signals Officer Adele Mundy has repeatedly proved her skills and loyalty as Cinnabar's most accomplished intelligence agent, but now elements within the Republic want to draw her into a conspiracy like the one that led to her parents' massacre. Leary and Mundy battle their way from riot-torn streets to spies in an outlying base and an anarchic planet where violence is the only law, but if they succeed at every stage, one test still remains: a space battle against an overwhelming Alliance force. Even for Daniel Leary it will be a difficult fight to win; and almost impossible to survive.

The Way to Glory

The war with the Alliance rages on, and Cinnabar's newest Commander, Daniel Leary, has a mission. The remote Dunbar's World is facing the threat of invasion from the planet Pellegrino. The invaders have landed with a massive army, plasma cannons and a heavily armed warship in tow – and all Leary has to work with is the local police force.
With enemies on all sides, Leary faces a seemingly impossible task. But Leary commands the Princess Cecile, his faithful crew are behind him, and brilliant cyber-spy Adele Mundy is ready for action. They are no strangers to the impossible...
