With the Lightnings- David Drake

This is the Beginning of the story of Lt. Leary and Adele Mundy of the Royal Cinnibar Navy. Reminiscent of an Aubrey or Hornblower story, it is set on Kostroma. Kostroma is invaded by the Alliance and the story takes off! Lt Leary and Adele Mundy, who is a Cinnibar expatriot are trapped behind enemy lines and have to fight to survive. This is a well crafted story, written by a skilled storyteller. I highly recommend this book!
