Hunting Party

Heris Serrano has been an officer born of a long line of officers. Being forced by a treacherous superior to resign her commission under a cloud was not just the end of a career path; it was the end of everything that gave her life meaning. Still, even an ex-captain's grieving for lost careers must eat, and Heris has wound up as "Captain" of an interstellar luxury yacht. Being a rich old lady's hyperlight chauffeur isn't quite the same as captaining a dreadnought, but nothing Heris will ever do again will compare to that. Soon Heris finds herself fighting for her life against a varied bunch of cutthroats, smugglers, and 'sportsmen' as ever had the misfortune to cross her path when she was a captain of the fleet.
