When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
Commodore Jack Romanoff and his merry band of ragtag navy rejects—skilled yet young war reenactors, a rescued navy crew, and a Confederation spy—have rescued more than two hundred civilian ships and escaped a massacre in a battleship over two centuries old.

Jack and his crew have only one chance to get it right. To do that, he must bind them all together with bonds of blood.
