After Iceni's and Drakon's virtual presences had left, Bradamont lingered to salute Geary. " Thank you for getting my colonel back safely to me, sir."
Ambassador Rycerz beamed at her. "They understand now, don't they? That I really am in charge here?"
"No," Bradamont said, shaking her head. "They still think he runs the Alliance, but is doing so behind a screen. Even his time leaving Midway to go to Kane is to them simply more proof of how Admiral Geary is maintaining the pretense of answering to you rather than you answering to him."
"You're joking."
"No, I'm sorry, I'm not. That's how they view the universe, and everything they see is filtered through that. But they also view Admiral Geary as an, um, enlightened leader in their own mold, which is why they remain willing to deal with the Alliance as long as the Alliance is perceived to be Admiral Geary's kingdom."
"Fine." Ambassador Rycerz had apparently developed yet another headache.

I enjoy this series so much - I know what to expect when I read it and just have a good time. Yes, after (2o?) books in the series, there isn't much new under the sun. But honestly, I don't really care and hope Jack Campbell keeps pumping them out. Here, take my money!
