It’s where careers go to die. Thelma Bach graduated top of her class after four years at the Galactic Justice Academy. But she’s a Rock Sector citizen. The core worlders were never going to let her transcend her background. So she’s been assigned to serve her seven years as a deputy in the Saloon Sector. The message for the Federation’s non-core citizens is clear: you’ll never be our equal, so don’t even try. The stuffy bureaucrats of the Galactic Justice service chose the wrong person to push around. Thelma is a woman capable of self-reinvention. She’ll subvert her sheriff, charm artificial intelligences, fight bandits and hunt the legendary Eldorado Cache. And if she can shove a missile up the bunker of the Galactic Justice service as she does so, well, then, why not? “Space Deputy” is an action-packed, rollicking space opera. Sa-zoom, baby! less
