Lt. Leary and Adele Mundy team up once again with the familiar crew of the Sissie to once foil the plans of the Alliance - but not as active RCN ship nor crew. The Sissie has been removed from RCN service and sold to a rich pair of wogs and Lt. Leary and crew have been hired as civilians to crew her on a voyage to the mainly unexplored and thinly populated north in search of relics and adventure. The voyage is full of mystery, a lot of action and a touch of the paranormal - which is all meat to Lt. Leary and the crew of the Sissie. Written by David Drake, a master writer who never fails to hold a reader's attention, this book is a highly enjoyable read.

This is a very episodic story, consisting of a lot of different bits and pieces strung together. The bits and pieces are not bad, and the story comes to an end with a flourish, but overall it's a story of Leary and his crew keeping themselves occupied here and there in peacetime.
