Salvation Warrior (Paperback)

When Kat Severn left university she had a choice, but instead of following her father and brother into politics, she chose the other family tradition and joined the military. Only a few months into her first command appointment she is relieved from duty. Unwittingly she has become a pawn in a fast-evolving political game, with unknown adversaries seeking to undermine her father, the prime minister of the early 22nd century Federation of America, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Whilst waiting to be summoned for court martial, Kat's grandpa Jim gets her away from unwanted media attention by sending her on a diplomatic mission to New Zealand. With the principal warships of the Pacific Fleet despatched on a senseless propaganda tour by new political masters, the Federation cities of Nu Hawaii and San Angeles are suddenly highly vulnerable when a mystery fleet arrives demanding their immediate surrender. This time there is no choice for Kat. Assembling a flotilla of small ships and reservist personnel, she leads them in the most important mission of her career, and perhaps her last!
