Return To Dakistee
(A Galaxy Unknown - Book 8)
A novel by Thomas DePrima
The same archeological team who uncovered a secret
underground bunker on Dakistee sixteen years
earlier, when the planet was still named Mawcett,
has discovered a new facility. They struggle for
months to open the entrance, but the structure
defies all their efforts. Finally admitting defeat,
they send a message to Admiral Jenetta Carver®,
beseeching her to come help once again.
In Region Two, Admiral Jenetta Carver® is besieged
with mundane work. Although she would love to drop
everything and head for Dakistee, she can't possibly
get away. But she also can't ignore the
possibilities of what treasures, or dangers, the
facility might represent. Fortunately, the
battleship
Hephaestus is in port, and the ship's third
watch commander is available for a special
assignment.
Christa is far from thrilled with the prospect of
giving up her seat on the bridge, even temporarily,
but when an admiral says go, you go. It doesn't
matter that the admiral is your sister. Christa
expects to make a quick trip, with a speedy return
to the Hephaestus, but as with Jenetta,
assignments often tend to take unexpected side trips
into unique and dangerous situations.
