Synopsis

Fleeing a smashed rebellion and near execution by their supposed allies, Dirk, Gavin, Dena, and Ana abandon Scruggs and Lee during battle. When local medical treatment isn't enough, Lee surrenders to the Imperials and arranges to surrender to Devin's ship to save Scruggs’s life. When a botched meet-up leaves them all in Devin's custody and surrounded by his Marines, it looks like time's up for our heroes. But Devin gets startling news, and it's not what it says, but what it doesn't that worries him. He has a proposal of his own for Dirk and company. They'll get Scruggs and what they want, but they might have to change sides!

If you like Galactic Empires, honorable enemies, and snappy dialog, this one's for you!

About Andrew Moriarty

Andrew Moriarty has been reading science fiction his whole life, and he always wondered about the stories he read. How did they ever pay the mortgage for that space ship? Why doesn't it ever need to be refueled? What would happen if it broke, but the parts were backordered for weeks? And why doesn't anybody ever have to charge sales tax? Despairing on finding the answers to these questions, he decided to write a book about how space ships would function in the real world. Ships need fuel, fuel costs money, and the accountants run everything.

He was born in Canada, and has lived in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Germany, and Maastricht. Previously he worked as a telephone newspaper subscriptions salesman, a pizza delivery driver, wedding disc jockey, and technology trainer. Unfortunately, he also spent a great deal of time in the IT industry, designing networks and configuring routers and switches. Along the way, he picked up an ex-spy with a predilection for French Champagne, and a whippet with a murderous possessiveness for tennis balls. They live together in Brooklyn.

Goodreads review by Djuro on September 29, 2023

I think this is the best/most fun of the series so far. One of the more fun parts in this book involve Devin, which we read about quite a bit more than in the previous ones. This book has multiple intertwined stories where we find out what is going on in different parts of the universe ... there is e......more

Adventure Awaits- Number 4 is another solid entry in the Imperial Universe. Dirk is acting more like an Imperial Officer, much to others Chagrin. We find out new and interesting things about Scruggs, Lee, and Lord Devin. Like Frances Ancien Regime evidently the Empire is big on primogeniture. The el......more

Goodreads review by David on October 06, 2023

Well done Most of the plot strands are untangled, our crew is back in good shape, and we had a space battle preceded by splendid logistics problems. And it's still a good stand-alone book, with back story almost unnoticeable. On the personal front, I'm a bit sad. You know how authors are supposed to......more

Goodreads review by Susan Gallagher on September 29, 2023

What a great story!! ( I received an advance copy of it.) We really get to know a couple of characters who were introduced in prior books and I really like them. There’s tension, excitement, battles, scheming, and of course the witty and crazy humor from the author who is so good at writing it all.......more
