Nothing slow in this book, it is very hard to put down once you start reading.
Book Description
As interstellar war looms, Fleet Admiral Catherine Romanova finds her loyalties not just tested...but also torn.
Fleet Admiral Catherine Romanova has come home to Narsai to retire. She and her second husband, her long-time comrade Lincoln Casey, have left Earth in disgust following one more sign of the growing distrust between the Outworlds of which Narsai is part and the Inner Worlds that have Terra at their political center. The last straw for them was the expulsion from the Star Service of all "scramblers"-officers promoted from the ranks of ordinary crewmembers, with whom Casey feels kinship because of his despised Morthan heritage. The couple's idyll (and unexpected) boredom is interrupted when their foster son, Dan Archer, arrives with a fugitive companion...and with a ruthless Corporate Marshal not far behind.
