A Call to Arms
"Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is one of those rare people who likes rules but has a talent for thinking outside of them when everything starts coming apart. That is why he is now a mustang and also why he has enemies. At the moment, there are powerful forces in the young Star Kingdom's Parliament who don't think they need him or the navy for that matter. Unhappily for them, the edge of the explored galaxy can be a far more dangerous place than they think. They're about to find out why they need the Navy...and how very, very fortunate they are that Travis Long is in it"--
