"I didn't know that I wanted to read a science fiction series that feels like age of sail ships duking it out in space until I picked this up. Now I can't wait to read the rest of the series. ... One of the best Science Fiction stories in years."
-M.D. Cooper, author and creator of the Aeon14 universe

In a world of pirates and murderous ghosts, one naval cadet must choose between loyalty and survival.

In the Level's Naval Academy, officer candidate Silas Hunt stumbles across a secret that could get him hanged for treason. The only hope he has to save his own life and to find justice is to join up with a ruthless pirate captain, a woman known as Mad Dog—even if it means sacrificing everything he’s spent his life working for.

The Verity is just a ship of the line, but for Stacks-born Captain Hollis Ives, it's not just her first command. It’s her one chance to prove that a woman from the slums can handle a high-ranking naval position—even if it means accepting a posting that’s likely to be a death sentence.

Treasure Island meets Master and Commander with a science-fiction twist in R.M. Olson’s thrilling new space opera series, The Devil and the Dark.
