Programmer General Donal Tomlins never expected a mutiny on his starship--and a coup on the planet Burran. His wife and daughters are trapped on-planet and it is up to him and his son, Donal, to rescue them using advanced weaponry from the world Far Kingdom. Aiding them is weapons-master Leanne Chang. But even her expertise is not enough to wrest control of their world from the rebels.
A new strategy is necessary. After refitting the Shillelagh using high tech from the strange TZO star system--a neutron star embedded in the heart of a red giant--Donal and Cletus launch a campaign to regain their world...as space pirates. Only by strangling the commerce to Burran can they depose the usurper and rescue wife, mother, daughters and sisters.
