Fortunes of the Imperium (View From the Imperium Series Book 2)

Lieutenant Lord Thomas Kinago sets out from the Imperium homeworld for the Autocracy of the Uctu, a galactic region with a geckolike overlord known, eponymously, as the Autocrat. Thomas is ostensibly on a pleasure cruise with his cousin Jil to enjoy the pleasures of the Gecko culture. (Jil is herself fleeing a spot of trouble in the Central Worlds after she rebuffed the unwanted amorous interest of a local crime boss)

In fact, Thomas is on a mission for the mysterious Mr. Frank, the head of the secret service, to discover how prohibited goods, including a small fighter ship, are being smuggled into the Autocracy. His crewâ€™s overt assignment is to find out why legitimate shippers are being detained at checkpoints, sometimes for months, without explanation. As usual, Thomasâ€™s reputation for sudden enthusiasm and goodhearted mayhem precede him. It is all his trusted aid Parsons can do to keep his leader on course.

Thomasâ€™s newest interest is superstitions, and he is driving everyone to distraction by telling fortunes, and even inventing a new method or two. Yet while the Autocrat, a new and fairly young Uctu female, finds Thomas a curious diplomat, she also rather likes himâ€”much to Parsonsâ€™s relief. It seems Thomas needs free passage within the Uctu home system before he can investigate the illegal contraband trade. Whatâ€™s more, the smuggling ring is quite determined to cancel Thomasâ€™s visit before he can cancel them. As usual, itâ€™s up to Parsons to find a way to lead his hapless master to victoryâ€”or at least keep him from getting himself killed by a very determined enemy.
