Tabitha Prime
The year is 2109. Tabitha, a devious vengeful clone of Bill Jones’ long-dead ex-wife, has developed a powerful weapon that can destroy stars, along with their planetary systems. With it, she secured her position as a Prime Director in the Mr’rk Interstellar Corporation.
But her obsession goes far beyond absolute power or fabulous wealth. She wants revenge for the death of Bull Travers, the man she cuckolded Bill with years ago on the USS Armstrong. In addition to killing Bill Jones, she seeks to destroy the entire Solar System so she can plunder Earth.
Fast forward five years. Bill Jones is promoted and given tactical command of the task force sent to stop Tabitha and her evil plan. But he has other issues, like a drug-addicted mentally unstable Admiral who also has an axe to grind with Bill, a starship upgraded with barely tested alien technology, and the off-chance of starting Earth’s first interstellar war.
Can Bill and the Enterprise stop Tabitha in time?
🧐What readers say about the book
….this is not. This is a well written, funny, passionate space opera. Shades of Star Trek, John Wayne, Civil Ware era heroes, all wrapped up in a great read. This author is one of my favorites, because as awful a predicament there may very well be, justice is dished out. I’m hopeful that was see Admiral Jones in another story, someday. He’s a great character, all of the people and the world’s he builds are a delight.
