Description
In the follow-up to Admiral, the intergalactic war has
ended and hostilities between the Evagardian Empire and the
Commonwealth are officially over, but the admiral is far from safe. . . .
I’d impersonated a prince, temporarily stopped a war, escaped a deadly planet, and survived more assassination attempts than I could conveniently count. After all that, there shouldn’t have been anything simpler than a nice weekend with a charming Evagardian girl.
However, some corners of the galaxy aren’t as genteel as the Empire, and Evagardians aren’t universally loved, which is how I ended up kidnapped to be traded as a commodity.
Their timing couldn’t have been worse. I'm not at my best, but these people have no idea whom they're dealing with: a highly trained, genetically engineered soldier in the Imperial Service who happens to be my date.
_______________________________________________
The Dew Review of The Admiral from 2016:
Idgie Says:
Take a dash of Mark Watney from The Martian and throw in some Dirk Pitt action and you have a hard science, space Sci-Fi novel that keeps the action flowing and the reader engaged.
Three people that trust each other and one unknown and suspicious "Admiral" find themselves abandoned for dead on an unknown planet in the middle of a universal war. Can they trust each other to work together?
This is a wild planet they land on and the Admiral has all the scientific whiles of Mark - he could also be called the MacGyver of space. There is character building and back stories on each of the individuals during their fight to survive and find rescue. The book does not leave you dangling, but it does leave enough questions and an open ending to nicely move into additional novels, which I believe is the plan. I'll look forward to reading them.

Book Description:
FIRST IN A NEW MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION SERIES
“I was on a dead ship on an unknown planet with three trainees freshly graduated into the Imperial Service. I tried to look on the bright side.”
He is the last to wake. The label on his sleeper pad identifies him as an admiral of the Evagardian Empire—a surprise as much to him as to the three recent recruits now under his command. He wears no uniform, and he is ignorant of military protocol, but the ship's records confirm he is their superior officer.
Whether he is an Evagardian admiral or a spy will be of little consequence if the crew members all end up dead. They are marooned on a strange world, their ship's systems are failing one by one—and they are not alone.
