River: Ogala's Conspiracy - B. D. Pedersen - Bog

My name is Ty Penndergrass and I work for the Public Defender's Office for the United Earth Judicial System: Station 43. Shenandoah Kennedy came into my life and it would change everything. When I first met her she was tethered to a wall iron in a holding room. This lovely young lady was chained up as if she was the most dangerous individual in the United Earth System. When I considered the others sitting in that room with her, I found it hard to believe that she could be that bad or dangerous. Her most outstanding and visible feature was her green eyes. Those eyes could cut right through you. When you first see them and realize they are looking at you, well, your entire demeanor goes out the window. You can't take your eyes off of them. They captivate you and control you and that's not all. What you don't see is what is most astonishing. This young lady was the captain of the space ship Space Wasp. She was somewhere around 22 years old and went by the name River. Her father Theo Kennedy had been a high ranking officer in the Space Defense Force and he had retired under difficult circumstances and eventually purchased the Space Wasp and converted her into the most powerful space ship the System had ever seen or dealt with. River would need every bit of Space Wasp's capabilities to deal with Darian Ogala probably the most ruthless criminal in the System. Somehow he had managed to team up with the command of the Space Defense Force and was setting into motion a revolt against the United Earth System. River and Wasp were the only thing standing between Ogala and his success. I found myself an unwilling part of the challenge of River to Ogala's plans. I learned that space was a place where death is a never ending, always present threat to one life. So accustom do those who live and travel through space with the threat of instant and cataclysmic death, that the use it as a weapon is of now issue. River was well versed in the use of death against those that she stood against. Ogala would learn that the hard way as would the Space Defense Force leaders. You have to follow River as she deals with those that threaten her life, the lives of her crew and friends, and the destruction of Space Wasp.
