| New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell continues his JAG in Space series as a young Legal Officer seeks justice as others try to corrupt it. Newly commissioned Lieutenant Junior Grade Paul Sinclair is acclimating himself both to his duties aboard USS Michaelson and to his growing relationship with fellow sailor Jen Shen. Both situations require serious consideration. But when a fiery explosion rips through the Forward Engineering section, Sinclair doesn’t think, he acts—leading his people into the fire. And though he and his people survive, others do not. The brass want answers. Unfortunately, Paul suspects the blame for the disaster lands on a fast-rising officer whose incompetence is covered up by high-ranking connections. Worse still, Shen’s fiercely protective father—a captain of his own ship—exonerates the accused in the initial investigation. Now, Sinclair must walk a razor’s edge between seeing justice done and watching his entire life go down in flames. “Absorbing and credible…Outstanding suspense, realism, and characterization…First-rate military SF.”—Booklist “A rock-solid courtroom drama…[Campbell] builds the story's suspense expertly…This one will keep you turning the pages with the proverbial bated breath.”—SF Reviews |
