Daniel Leary is a lieutenant in the Republic of Cinnabar Navy with no money and no prospects since he quarreled with his ruthless, politically powerful father. Adele Mundy is a scholar with no money and no prospects since her family was massacred for conspiring against the Government of Cinnabar. Kostroma is a wealthy planet which depends on diplomacy to stay independent in a galaxy whose two great powers, Cinnabar and the Alliance, battle for supremacy. In a few hours, diplomacy is going to fail Kostroma. Daniel, Adele, and the scratch crew they gather aren't much to stand in the way of a powerful invasion fleet, but just possibly they're enough.

With the Lightnings (RCN Series #1)
What a load of crap! I'm wondering if I read the same book as those other people giving it 4 and 5 stars. The first third (at least) is downright boring. A good chunk of the book is dedicated to binge drinking, disorderly behavior and vomiting. That includes the "hero". The rest is not much better. When they are not drinking themselves senseless it's mostly politics. The behavior of the navy personnel, including the officers, is so utterly non-professional that it's unbelievable.
There's a ship in space decorating the cover image. They also talk about "invasion fleet" in the book burb. There's no fleet action whatsoever in this book. As a matter of fact, there's almost no ship action at all except for a little show in the very end.
The technology is ridiculous. I should perhaps have become suspicious when I saw that the ship on the cover image had masts and sails like an ordinary ocean clipper. "Sponge space"? What the f…?
I was hoping this could become a new interesting series to read but now I don't think so. I might (try to) read a second one just to see if they get any better but my hopes are not very high any more.
