Changing of the Guard - Thomas J. Deprima - Bog

Although intending to resign her commission after the GA Senate unanimously confirmed her promotion as Admiral of the Fleet to replace the retiring Admiral Richard Moore, Jenetta acquiesced to Admiral Holt's request that she merely take a leave of absence while she considered her future.
Her leave allowed Jenetta the time to enjoy some of life's pleasures missing in her life until then, but she discovered she couldn't escape the demands of her Royal position any more than she could escape the demands of her former military life, and she has returned to Space Command. Having accepted the position of Admiral of the Fleet, Jenetta prepares herself for an extended stay in a boring dirt-side command position, but when an old enemy again threatens the peace and stability of the GA, Jenetta's finds her new role to be far more demanding than she ever expected.
