The Skipper's Wife: Achala's Story

A hero stumbles through recovery, self-discovery, love, and life. As a child, she dreamed of healing the universe of its war wounds, but as an adult she mastered the art of causing them. This story is one of redemption for a young woman as she faces the demons from her past while continuing to make costly mistakes in the present. This story is centered around a young aspiring military officer and a highly-decorated veteran whose being forced into retirement at a young age. Tilan, though from a wealthy family, serves The Republic by using his advanced knowledge and skills in engineering while studying to one day serve with a full commission. Achala, spent her formative years hiding from the bombs of war and the grips of human traffickers. Eventually, Achala brings a blood-filled peace and justice to a place she once called home. It is also an odd love story between two very different people set in an advanced society in a universe that is struggling with technology, race relations, gender relations, generational relations, religion, political corruption and war. A stand-alone story from a future space opera.
