The Renegat Renegades finally learn their fate in New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch's The Court-Martial of the Renegat Renegades, the gripping new novel in her award-winning Diving series and an Asimov's Readers' Choice Award winner.
As the surviving crew of the Renegat face court-martial for mutiny—100 years in their future—the case makes everyone nervous. Prosecutors worry the survivors will prove too sympathetic to convict. The defense worries about the reliability of the defendants. But the survivors worry about what might happen should the truth—the whole truth—finally come to light.
