This is book 5 of the "Privateer Tales" series.

This note contains spoilers for the book.

Our crew keeps trading up on their ships. Get into a bit of a conflict with the Navy, which will probably have consequences (an Admiral leans on them, probably not thinking of wanting a long-term relationship). Red Houzi is bigger and badder than thought.

Big Pete and Silver join them, and Pete puts on the Mobile Infantry, er, I mean marine combat armor, and starts training others. Apparently Liam never knew his mother was even in the service.
