Valor at Vauzlee
(A Galaxy Unknown Book II)
A novel by Thomas DePrima
Jenetta Carver® has been promoted to Lt. Commander
and assigned as the second officer aboard the
battleship Prometheus. The ship is returning to
Earth for its official launching ceremony, and a
medal ceremony for Jenetta, who is looking forward
to seeing her family for the first time in eleven
years.
A captured Raider officer, seeking to make a deal
for his freedom, has informed the Intelligence
Section of Space Command of a planned attack on a
convoy by a massive Raider armada. Never before has
Space Command had an opportunity to confront the
Raiders in force because an effective Raider spotter
network generally allows the pirates to avoid SC
warships.
The admiral responsible for this part of space has
pulled out all the stops and assembled a task force
of ten ships, the most that can be secretly
diverted, to face off against the Raider ambushers.
One of those ships happens to be the Prometheus, and
Jenetta finds herself once again caught up in a life
or death situation. The Prometheus arrives at the
rendezvous point, a month from Higgins SC Base, to
await the arrival of the other ships, and the call
for help from the convoy.
Only two other ships have reached the RP when the
convoy is attacked, and the three SC warships race
off to face a Raider force that they expect will be
comprised of some forty warships.
