Good old-fashioned meat & potatoes SF -- an A/A- book.

In _The_Game_Of_Fox_And_Lion_, the Fox (Niccolo Renard) averted a no-win war between normal humans and their genetically-enhanced progeny, the Bestials. In the uneasy peace that has followed, the converted battlestar "Crucible" has been sent on an exploration mission with a mixed crew. The mission has been betrayed from within by someone who is trying to rekindle the war, and the Crucible is downed on an alien world with her drives critically damaged. Once again, the Fox's wits must bear him through seas of danger and intrigue to preserve the fragile peace and a joint humanity's future. Tasty stuff, recommended. -- from Raymond's Reviews #132
