Fondness for Adversity

Orion Spur #3 / 5
by John Spearman
Fondness for Adversity (Orion Spur #3) by John Spearman
Unrated

Returning after a well-deserved leave, Archer Devereaux is given a tame assignment while the shipyard is finishing up repairs on his ship.

Tame for anyone else, perhaps, but Archer seems to have a special kind of magnet that attracts trouble—this time from inside the Phlegraean Alliance. His diplomatic mission goes wrong quickly, and things get worse from there.

As before, he manages to play the hand he is dealt skillfully, no matter how weak the cards he has been given. Assistance comes from unexpected and unlikely people, but for Archer, reprieves are only temporary. The war continues, and Archer Devereaux is in the thick of it.

Although the book ends on a lighter note for him, how long can he expect things to remain on a positive track?

Book 3 in this new military sci-fi thrill ride from #1 Amazon bestselling author John J. Spearman. It's perfect for fans of Rick Partlow, David Weber, and Jeffery H. Haskell!
