River: The Gun Slinger - B. D. Pedersen - Bog

Again follow River as she and her crew and Ship Space Wasp become involved in another adventure. Meet for the first time the newest member of the team, her name is Venom. After the loss of several research ships that had ventured into the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way River is sent out to locate and retrieve these ships or at the least the crews. She and Space Wasp fly into an adventure unlike anything they had ever experienced. River was to meet Tom Horn, probably the best known gunslinger out of the old Earth west and his family of scoundrels and adventurers. Little did she know this would be a situation that was generated from the past and was now coming to fruition, a well-planned and demented attempt at payback and final judgment. The past does come back and when it does it can be just about the most difficult and most demented event one would ever be faced with. The question is, does River have a solution for the situation she will find herself in. And yes it's directly related to the past and one Darian Ogala. That is not the only issue she will be faced with. While trying to recover the missing explorers she must also deal with an alien society that no one knew of and it was that society that was holding the missing explorers. She and her crew would be facing an armada of ships the size of which they had never seen. Not only that there would be two armadas and they would be from the same empire but on opposite sides of an on going revolution. It would be a contest of wills and planning. The side that is able to balance all elements of the contest will be the one to win. The only problem is that there are more players than there are hands to deal with them. Space Wasp will need each and every skill at its command to overcome this situation and deal with all the issues that are coming at her.
