Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...both things his neglectful mom couldn't or wouldn't provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he'd finally found the framework he'd always desired so frantically. But life in the RMN isn't exactly what he expected. Training is rough and annoying; his first dispatch assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a damaging plague, the Navy is possibly on the advantage of budgetary extinction.The Star Kingdom is a nation one of the worlds of the Diaspora, its closest friends and neighbors weeks or calendar months away, with little in the form of resources. With only modest interstellar trade, no foreign contacts to talk about, a plague ravaged economy to rebuild, no foes looming at the hyper limit, there are factions in Parliament who would like only to scrap the Navy and transfer its resources and manpower somewhere else.But those factions are mistaken. The universe is not really a safe place. Travis Long is going to find that out.
