This is the third book in the RCN series. Just like the others, we get some spectacular space battles and our favorite characters from the first two books. This time we get to see some of the less traveled areas of the galaxy as the Princess Cecile gets sold off to a rich noble who wants to go on a treasure hunt.

This is a very episodic story, consisting of a lot of different bits and pieces strung together. The bits and pieces are not bad, and the story comes to an end with a flourish, but overall it's a story of Leary and his crew keeping themselves occupied here and there in peacetime.

More of the same (never a bad thing here) Leary adventures, but with more space navy "stuff" thrown in. Enjoyable.
