The Alien Corps by P.J. McDermott
She was fired after her last mission. Now she's back.



Hickory and her team are assigned to the medieval planet Prosperine to deal with an upsurge in violence and religious fanaticism amongst the local population. There are claims of magic being performed by a mystic known to his followers as the Teacher.

Prosperine's stability is vital to Earth because the planet is a source of the rare metal Crynidium, essential for faster than light travel.

When Hickory arrives, she discovers a planet on the brink of war. Revolutionaries have linked up with a squadron of Bikashi shock troops, one of Earth's deadliest foes, and plan to overthrow the government.

Earth's access to the Crynidium is in jeopardy, and the future of the Earth and its allies is at stake. Outnumbered and outgunned, Hickory has one chance to stop the insurgents. She must rediscover the powerful empathic gift she was born with, and at the same time determine exactly who or what this Teacher represents.

What Amazon readers are saying about this scifi action adventure.

A Great read. Had me at the first chapter. I did not want to stop reading. Loved the plot, the storyline, the action!!"

"Great character development. I was really attracted to the main character. The blend of adventure and inter-galactic political mischief was a new way of looking at things. Great fun."

"McDermott creates a very original and hopeful future world similar to the kind of sci-fi I grew up loving. His alien characters are delightful and believable. I couldn't wait to read the second book, Rise of the Erlachi, which is even better!"

"WOW, did book one have me rapidly reading as I couldn't get enough! I liked the feisty Commander Hickory Lace from the start."
