A Galaxy Unknown: (A Galaxy Unknown, Book 1)

June 6th, 2267 - A life-pod, missed by rescuers following the mysterious explosion of a Space Command vessel a decade earlier, is discovered by a passing freighter in deep space. A young officer, still cocooned in stasis sleep, is found inside. When revived, Ensign Jenetta Carver learns of the lawlessness that now suffuses interstellar space. Pirates and slavers seem able to attack and pillage with impunity. Space Command has committed its full resources to stopping the anarchy, but criminal groups have grown immensely powerful.

Although determined to rejoin SC as soon as possible, Jenetta is captured by pirates before that can happen. At first she fears for her life, but when she's indelibly marked as a pleasure slave, she gets mad; fighting mad. And when they tamper with her DNA to make her appear sexier, she gets even madder; killing mad.

Can a petite blonde, cut off from Space Command, create more mayhem among the criminal elements than a full decade of SC effort? You'd better believe it!

From the back cover:

For all of her young life, Jenetta Carver had dreamed of cruising between the stars in a powerful spaceship, but nothing in her visions of a bright future even remotely resembled the perilous situation she now faced.

Lt. Sabella, her face slightly flushed from physical exertion, returned from her task of readying the shipâ€™s weapons and crossed the bridge to stand by the left arm of Jenettaâ€™s command chair. â€œWhatâ€™s the plan, Captain?â€ she asked. Though an anxious look swathed her face, there was unmistakable resoluteness in her voice.

Jenetta breathed in deeply and then released it before answering in a voice lowered so that it only carried to her XO. â€œWeâ€™re going to have to slash and burn,â€ she replied.

â€œSlash and burn?â€ Gloria questioned, equally sotto voce.

â€œWe donâ€™t yet know what weâ€™re facing, so we canâ€™t prepare anything tactically sophisticated. We certainly wonâ€™t be able to arrange for a convenient artificial mountain as cover this time, and itâ€™s a given that whatever Raider ships weâ€™re about to face are considerably better armed than we are. Soâ€” surprise will perforce serve as our main weapon. I intend to slash our way in with as much speed as practicable, dump our envelope, and then burn down any enemy ships that we encounter before they can do the same to us.â€

â€œThatâ€™s it?â€ Gloria asked, wide-eyed. â€œThatâ€™s your whole plan? Shoot them before they shoot us?â€
