VICTORY Saved (2179) Book 04: Commander Chen.
In July 2178 as John A. Wheeler continues evaluating the survey planet it first visited in 2173, Wolfredo Lobo and Cara Delaridel explore an old alien structure on Deepstrike. It is an encounter of the unusual kind, one that throws them close together.
March 2179: At a dockside interrogation even as their dead comrades are being removed from IWG Victory, Xiu-Li finds herself accused of abandoning her post because she survived a debris strike that killed everyone on the bridge. She tells of five mini-computers rigged to fly the shattered ship to safety, with Lieutenant U.K.MacBritish as co-pilot/Chief Engineer. Only later is the O.P.P. Truce revealed: Peace at last!
In April 2179 Lieutenant Commander Ecurba saves Dr.Sara Catsmile during a gang attack and is kept out of the way as his Fleet career fate in “The Peace” is debated. He travels to Niv on assignment and has an adventure, including saving a family of Tau Ceti Cats from being eaten by a predator, resolving the hitherto unresolved “mad passion” with Priti Fareyes, hearing the story of Hellhole’s deep space survivor.
While returning to Earth, Xiu-Li must handle attempted mutiny when her mixed group of war-weary crew riding the roughly repaired Victory encounters a frozen gas cloud that might have something in it. She fights off her attackers to find a damaged Niv ship in need of rescue, with unexpected information about Victory’s collision.
In September 2179, Commander Ecurba has a Niv social encounter on board a ship in Earth StarYards he and U.K.McBritish are helping Admiral Matisou complete.
June 2180. Priti Fareyes nearly killed in shuttle accident, then figures out how to save self and several others. She later “meets” one: Samuel Millet, child math prodigy.
