Captured on an enemy planet with a vital secret and thousands of lives in the balance…
Silas Hunt, former pirate and current naval officer, has been taken captive, along with his friend, fellow officer, and sometimes lover, Ari. The Rosette navy clearly think he knows something and is willing to torture him to get him to confess. The problem is, he has no damn idea what he’s supposed to know. But as he begins to put the clues together, he realizes two things: first, the Rosette navy is planning a surprise attack that will cripple the Level. And second, the attack will start at the blockade where the Verity, with all his friends and crewmates onboard, is currently posted. He and Ari are the only ones who could possibly warn them, and locked in a prison on an enemy-held planet light-years away from the Level fleet, injured and with no knowledge of the language, it might be more of a mission than even he and Ari can pull off.
Serving in a blockade fleet on the far reaches of Level space has turned out to be much more eventful than Captain Hollis Ives had hoped. But things only get more hazardous when word comes through that Mad Dog, former pirate captain now serving in the Admiralty, has requested transfer to the fleet—to the Verity, specifically. Both Hollis and her first officers are certain she’s there to enact revenge over what happened to her former crew members Silas and Ari. But when she arrives, Hollis realizes what Mad Dog may be after something much more dangerous.
Treasure Island meets Master and Commander with a science-fiction twist and a diverse cast in R.M. Olson’s thrilling series, The Devil and the Dark.
