Filled with strong women characters, this science fiction adventure moves quickly and is punctuated with humor.

The year is 2127. Three corporations control the world, leaving governments struggling to survive. Echo Strand is fed up with her job at TransCom Transportation Parts and joins up with the United States Space Agency. On the way home from a routine freight haul to Mars, she discovers a shocking secret about her captain. In the meantime, the world economy is on the verge of collapse, with a war between the U.S. government and the corporations not far behind. But the failing economy and the corporate war are the least of Captain Dana Stewart’s problems. Her enemies are less visible and more dangerous.

Anita Lorene Smith holds bachelor’s degrees in history and professional writing. Among her interests are aviation history, music, movies, dogs, and science fiction. Ms. Smith lives in Seattle, Washington. This is her first novel.

Publisher’s Comments: This is a clear, strong concept—fairly unique and presented well from the outset. The author’s style is strong and clear from the beginning and remains consistent throughout. The sequence and flow are strong. There should be a good audience for this book.
