Vengeance hunts them.
Rebellion seeks them.
Loyalty commands them.
The shadows will fear them.

Captain David Rice and Mage Maria Soprano have made their choice, signing up with the Martian Interstellar Security Agency and converting Red Falcon into a covert operations ship for the Protectorate.

Their new duties drag them back into the very underworld they once strove to escape, intentionally provoking the Azure Legacy into a renewed conflict. They find unexpected allies with secret agents from Legatus's rebellion against Mars as they seek to stop Mikhail Azure's Blue Star Syndicate from being reborn.

The Azure Legacy wants revenge. Legatus wants blood. David and Maria are bound by the overriding duty of all officers of the Mage-King's Protectorate:

Protect the innocent.

    This novel builds on the first entry of the series but far surpasses it. Without having to introduce new characters the story is allowed to flow, to bend, and eventually to resolve into a space battle that has enough surprises that even long time SF readers will be caught off guard. Some twists were contrived, but I took that to be the author’s way of fixing some otherwise thorny details. In all it was a rollicking good time.

    the universe of starships mage, of which this book is a spin off, is a fascinating mix a technology and magic. this book, mage provocateur adds additional character to an already rich universe of characters. continuing the story David rice and his crew as they find new purpose in the universe.

    Glynn Stewart had an amazing ability to build worlds with enough detail but not too much. The characters he created are as believable as the world he builds. I have read a lot of the author's writing and have thoroughly enjoyed every story.

    great follow on to the first novel. building on the storey from the first book I had to keep reminding myself that I knew where the overall arc was going as we had seen it in the mars books with Damien. Nice to see Alaura Stealeys character again as Always though she had been under utilised in the Damien books.
    Looking forward to the next book and how it dovetails with what we know is happening elsewhere in the Mage universe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Jaw-dropping action scenes!
    Reviewed in Canada on August 29, 2024

    It’s hard to say whether these stories are about the Ship’s Mage onboard the Red Falcon, its captain, or the executive officer, as all three have pivotal roles. From reading the Starship’s Mage series, I know that the XO goes on to more fabulous things, so even when she’s in heart-pounding circumstances, I know she’s going to be okay.

    Less certain is the outcome of the captain and mage, who keep finding themselves in sticky situations that are nail-biting for me. I have to hand it to Stewart here - he writes some of the most believable space ship action that I ever read.

    For those of you who are fans of Star Wars, remember your first encounter in that darkened room with the Empire? Remember the Death Star? Yea, Glynn Stewart is Star Wars all over again for me. Every single book. Edge of my seat.
