Daniel and Adele will need all of those things as they face winged dragons, an Alliance auxilary cruiser, jealous llovers, and a mysterious oracle which really does foresee the future. That won't be enough,though, when they penetrate a secret Alliance base and find a hostile fleet ready for a war that will sweep Cinnabar out of a strategically crucial arm of the galaxy.Preventing that will involve skill, courage, and more luck than a sane man could even pray for ; and it will require a space battle ib a scale that a tiny corvette like the Princess Cecile has no business being involved in. But she'll be in the middle of it anyway, because Daniel, Adele, and their Cinnabar crew would never turn their backs on a fight.
