The far side of the stars

the long version

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.
