From Booklist:
Wilson Cole heads a vastly outnumbered, largely out-gunned armada of rebels, and Teddy R, his ship, is wanted across the galaxy. He is absolutely convinced that the Republic is hopelessly corrupt, or at least its top politicians are, and that somehow he must overthrow it/them. His people can’t afford armed conflict, so he wages a brilliant war of propaganda and trickery. Of course, in order to make sure it has the correct effect, he must get to Deluros VIII, capital of the Republic, and deal with the politicos himself. When he and his loyal crew, understandably a bit concerned about his mysterious plans as they travel closer to the heart of the Republic, reach the Deluros system, there’s another threat to deal with, which means that events take an entirely unexpected turn. Cole thinks well on his feet, though, and turns the tables quite nicely. Fun, fast-paced, laced with a satisfying amount of moral quandary, Cole and crew’s adventures in rebellion constitute excellent entertainment. --Regina Schroeder
