The tyrannical Alliance continues its war against the Republic of Cinnabar, and Daniel Leary, newly promoted to Commander, and his crew have a new mission Stop Dunbar's World from falling to an invasion by the planet Pellegrino. Nataniel Arruns, son of the dictator of Pellegrino, has landed with a large contingent, intending to set himself up as the ruling warlord, with the planet's population becoming workers-serfs-of the Pellegrinian overlords. And Dunbar's world has no more than their local police force to oppose him. Leary again commands the corvette Princess Cecile, but on this mission her missile tubes are empty. Only one man is in a position to aid Leary, but the rich and powerful would rather see him fail than succeed in stopping the invasion. Leary must somehow overcome a large entrenched force on an island defended by powerful plasma cannon and shipkilling missiles and backed up by a heavily armed warship in orbit, all while commanding only a small and virtually unarmed spacecraft. But Leary again has the help of Signals Officer Adele Mundy, who can make computer networks do the apparently impossible. Leary, Mundy and the crew of the Princess Cecile have gone up against impossible odds before . . . and their opponents in those victorious missions are still wondering just what hit them.

Besides the bestselling Hammer's Slammers series, his books for Baen include Ranks of Bronze, Starliner, All the Way to the Gallows, Redliners, and many more. His "Lord of the Isles" fantasy novels for Tor are genre best sellers. Some Golden Harbor is the fifth in the popular RCN series. The previous titles are With the Lightnings, Lt.

Some Golden Harbor Lt Leary Book 5 eBook David Drake
Some Golden Harbor, Drake(2006)
Some Golden Harbor is the fifth novel of the Leary, series, following The Way to Glory. In this volume Leary has fallen from grace, so to speak, in that his chief admirer with the Admiralty has had a heart attack and retired. The successor is not a big fan of Leary and would prefer to keep Leary as far away as possible with as little chance of glory as possible.
The first portion of the book is a Leadership 101 course. Leary doing everything a good leader should; the “higher ups” not so much.
While this novel isn’t chocked full of action it is important in my opinion to the overall story.
If I were the Commandant of one of the military Academies, this would be required reading, including:
-Each cadet listing each incidence of leadership along with an explanation of why it was a good practice or not, with the cadet’s reasoning.
-I would have this course taken twice, once at the beginning of the program and again at the end to see what has changed in the cadet’s reasoning.
As far as I know the author has not had any formal leadership training. To me it is amazing how much he learned being at the bottom of the mierda pile.
I highly recommend it to fans of David Drake and the RCN series and to anyone interested in leadership.

Some Golden Harbor Lt Leary Book 5 eBook David Drake Reviews
Have enjoyed all the books - started with "With the Lightnings" and have gone thru the entire series. Have both paperbacks (and hard covers where available) and the editions - so you know I like them.
Another great read
Excellent sequencing to the RCN series. The character development of Daniel Leary and Adele Mundy is really good. I believe they love each other but don't really know it or won't acknowledge it. The romantic suspense between the two characters is delicious.
The Daniel Leary series is among the best military science fiction Space Opera fiction in my opinion! Adele Mundy the Librarian & Information Specialist is also a fascinating character. Leary is a Hornblower style Naval Hero providing plenty of space combat adventure. Love the series!
As usual the Alliance is the big bully on the block. I must say the writing is crisp and the characters are engaging and growing. As this is book five, although D. Drake has written these so they may be read out of order the are better roughly in order. I must say I have also purchased the as whisper sync, Audible narrated audio books and they are excelent in that format as well and make long trips more enjoyable. Anyway this is to David Drakes usual standard.
P.S It would be nice if Starliner (another Drake story) were also available as an audio book.
Drake writes about battle with the experience of one who has lived it. Here again he has placed the blood and grit into the perspective of those who have placed their lives at risk on the orders of people who don't have a firm knowledge of the situation and the true risk involved. Excitement and adventure are balanced with sheer terror and death. Military Sci-Fi fans cannot find a better example of the genre the writing of David Drake.
This is the fourth in David Drake's Lieutenant Leary series. After reading the first book (With the Lightnings) I became hooked and look forward to subsequent follow-ups as Drake churns them out.
Each book so far has followed the same formula the protagonists are on a planet doing stuff and there is minor violence. Leary goes on a mission in a spacecraft with the same old crew and his "special friend" Adele, who is a spy, a whiz with computers and also a dead shot with a pistol. There are raids on shore and the finales involve battles in space with missiles, etc.
(Readers familiar with Patrick O'Brien's "Master and Commander" series may note an eerie resemblance even though his books are set around 1800 and involve a frigate in the British navy.)
Maybe not in the league of, say, Larry Niven, the Leary books are a fine read -- good characters and lots of action.
