AGU: Border Patrol Series by Thomas DePrima

Sydnee Marcola's greatest desire was to join the command of Admiral Jenetta Carver in Region Two, and in pursuit of that goal, she achieved top grades while at the Academy, and then again in advanced studies at the Warship Command Institute. So why have the powers that be chosen to 'waste' a valuable asset by sending her to a 'backwater' command where terminal boredom would appear to be the greatest enemy?

The severely damaged SC Destroyer Perry, nearly destroyed while battling the Clidepp destroyer Glassama, is awaiting the arrival of a Space Command ship-transporter vessel, which will convey it to the Mars shipyard for repairs. Meanwhile, the supreme rebel leader, known only as X to preserve his true identity, decides that Space Command's involvement in the affairs of the Clidepp Rebels was totally unacceptable. Conveniently ignoring the fact that his people illegally entered GA Space to perpetrate an attack on a diplomatic vessel, he believes the Spaccs had no business getting involved. He conceives a diabolical plan to exact his revenge against Space Command while using them to promote his revolutionary agenda. less

Instead of the voyage being a simple delivery, the Justice might be required to remain in Clidepp space for as long as two years. The crew size for the newly revised mission has been expanded from the original nine Space Command officers and enlisted, plus the previous Marine Special Ops team and Marine fire teams from the Denver, to twenty-four Space Command officers and enlisted, the same Marine Special Ops team, a platoon of Marines from the Denver, and a full Wing of Marine fighter jocks and support personnel.

Appointed to command a clandestine intelligence mission into the Clidepp Empire aboard what essentially amounts to a space tugboat, Sydnee and her team successfully kidnapped the government official believed to be responsible for the deliberate murder of thousands of children and adults attending a tradeshow being conducted aboard a space station orbiting Earth. Unfortunately, it was later discovered that the minister had been framed and was in no way responsible for the deadly attack. Since then, Sydnee and her command have been attempting to clandestinely return the minister to his home planet of Yolongus.Once again the Justice will enter Clidepp space in an effort to surreptitiously return the minister to his home planet. Sydnee hopes this mission will mark an end to her covert missions outside of Galactic Alliance space. less
