But the one rule Travis Long absolutely can’t break is the one that says an officer in the Royal Navy does his duty, whatever the consequences.Īt the moment, there are powerful forces in the young Star Kingdom of Manticore’s Parliament which don’t think they need him. and thinking outside them when other people don’t. The bad news is that two of the best ways of making enemies ever invented are insisting on enforcing the rules. That talent has stood him-and the Star Kingdom-in good stead in the past, and it’s one reason he’s now a “mustang,” an ex-enlisted man who’s been given a commission as a King’s officer.

Unfortunately, he lives in the real universe. Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe.
