The Admiral's Choice

<p>MATTHEW MORROW WAS NO LONGER ON THE RUN - HE WAS ON THE CHASE.</p><p> </p><p>Reuniting him with his old flame had been a terrible mistake. Now the United Systems had lost the prison complex at Botany Bay. Worse Matthew Morrow now had a seagoing navy at his disposal and had forged an alliance with an enemy the Five Ladies long ago said they had destroyed.</p><p> </p><p>But maybe one man in all the Galaxy could reach Matthew Morrow and persuade him to stand down. Retired Rear Admiral Jacques-Yves de Grasse had once been Matthew Morrow's commanding officer. For the last fifteen years Admiral de Grasse had been running a vineyard and winery in the south of France one of the few private lands that the United Nations had spared from the Re-Wilding.</p><p> </p><p>So the Admiralty reached out to Admiral de Grasse--who naturally was resentful at the treatment he and Matthew Morrow had both suffered--and he agreed at least to think about it.</p><p> </p><p>But they forgot about Matthew Morrow's old comrade-in-arms a renegade cyborg like Matthew who came to the south of France herself to recruit their old commanding officer.</p><p> </p><p>In desperation they sent an agent to kill Admiral de Grasse and recapture Natalya Bronskaya.</p><p> </p><p>However the ambush didn't go exactly as planned.</p><p> </p><p>The situation went from bad to worse as Jacques-Yves de Grasse joined Matthew Morrow's revolution--and then discovered an ally the United Systems would <em>never</em> have suspected!</p>
