Just to whet your appetite for book 3, here's a teaser from the first chapter:
Lowell thumped his feet on the desk and leaned back in the chair. He held a handcomp in one hand, the screen set on the station data feed, but he wasn’t paying attention to it. He watched the busy Patrol docking bay through the wide window in the office. Several ships had docked in the last hour, three courier class and one large hunter class. He rubbed his upper lip as he considered his options.
An aide opened the office door. He frowned when he caught sight of Lowell. “You are
going to have to leave. We have a visiting commander who requested this office. You shouldn’t be here when you’re off duty, anyway. The enlisted lounge is on deck seven.” The man planted himself in the middle of the office.“I’m well aware of the location of the lounge, but my rank tends to make the enlisted men nervous.”
The aide’s gaze flicked over Lowell’s plain black uniform. “You aren’t wearing any insignia.”
“Would it make you feel better if I borrowed a set of Admiral’s pins?” Lowell’s handcomp beeped. He glanced at the new message. He raised one eyebrow as he shifted his feet from the desk. “That’s going to cause a few problems.”
“A Commander Lowell requested use of this office.” The aide wasn’t giving up.
“And you are bothering him.”
“Sir?”
“The ship that just docked, escort the pilot to this office. His name is Trevyn Clark.”
The aide shifted his feet, uncertain.
Lowell tapped his com, impatient with the man. “Paltronis, please escort Major Trevyn Clark to the office. He just arrived on the station. And please remove the man who doesn’t believe me when I tell him I’m the Commander who requested use of the office.”
“If you wore your rank pins, this wouldn’t happen, sir.” The woman on the com sounded amused.
“Worse would happen.” Lowell fixed the aide with a steady gaze that had unnerved fleet admirals.
“I’ll have Major Clark in the office in a few moments, sir.” Paltronis signed off.
The aide dripped nervous sweat. “Sorry, sir. It’s easy to mistake you in that uniform. Station Commander Morgan sent me to assist you with whatever you need, sir.”
Lowell turned his attention back to the handcomp. “Then fetch me a sandwich. And something to drink.”
