The insurrection is over and everybody lost. Except Jake - he's on the move with a new ship, a new destination, and a new crew - including some sexy francais girls! But his crew doesn't trust him, Landing is burning, the admiral's throwing his remaining weight around, and even Dashi's big promotion doesn't look like enough to save them all from anarchy. When Nadine disappears, and a rogue militia ship chases him out of belt and across the system, he's got no choice but to retreat to fight another day. Is he really running away, or is this another clever ploy of Dashi's that he doesn't understand? Jake, Dashi, Jose, Nadine, and the Admiral are back in book 5 in the adventures of a Jump space Accountant. If you like strategy over tactics, and thought before action, this series is for you.
