Darklight Pirates

A world's survival depends on an algorithm. The survival of the universe rests on a pirate world. Programmer General Donal Tomlins never expected a mutiny on his starship--and a coup on the planet Burran. His wife and daughters are trapped on-planet and it is up to him and his son, Donal, to rescue them using advanced weaponry from the world Far Kingdom. Aiding them is weapons-master Leanne Chang. But even her expertise is not enough to wrest control of their world from the rebels.A new strategy is necessary. After refitting the Shillelagh using high tech from the strange TZO star system--a neutron star embedded in the heart of a red giant--Donal and Cletus launch a campaign to regain their world...as space pirates. Only by strangling the commerce to Burran can they depose the usurper and rescue wife, mother, daughters and sisters.
