Programmer General Donal Tomlins never expected a mutiny on his starship--and a coup on the planet Burran. His wife and daughters are trapped on-planet and it is up to him and his son, Donal, to rescue them using advanced weaponry from the world Far Kingdom. Aiding them is weapons-master Leanne Chang. But even her military expertise is not enough to wrest control of their world from the rebels. Donal finds himself romantically attached to the mysterious, aloof Leanne but his rocky relationship is only part of his woes.
A new strategy is necessary. After refitting the dreadnought flagship Shillelagh using high tech from the exotic TZO star system--a neutron star embedded in the heart of a red giant--Donal and Cletus launch a campaign to regain their world...as space pirates. Only by strangling the commerce of their beloved home world Burran can they depose the usurper and rescue wife, mother, daughters and sisters. It is not a fight to be won easily or without great sacrifice.
Genre: Science Fiction
