Scaevola's Triumph (Gaius Claudius Scaevola Trilogy Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts

"We were so close to relativistic speed that little time has passed," the Tin Man said. "In effect, you have been asleep for a few days." "And Ulse? How are they? How is the war going?" "Better than they were a few days ago," the Tin Man said. "They detected our ships at long range, saw how few there were, saw the damage, and decided we must have lost disastrously. There was a huge hue and cry, with demands to know why just the humans had returned, and why the Ulsians were all killed." "No welcoming party here either," Gaius nodded ruefully. "Far from it. The correct information has been relayed forward. You should eat, refresh yourself, collect all your belongings and prepare to descend to the planet's surface." "Collect my belongings?" "You will never return to this ship again," the Tin Man said. "It is too seriously damaged to be worth full repair as a battleship, and even if it weren't, with your new rank, you will warrant a top class ship." "This isn't?" Gaius asked.
