Unfit for Duty

You can take the woman out of the Strikers, but you can’t take the overly aggressive and competent DNA out of a former team leader.

What if you were the best team leader on a special assault unit. Would you want to leave a unit with a high enemy mortality rate and a sterling record of successes? Come along as Team Leader Diosa Alberich tries to leave the Striker teams behind and move on with her life.

Master Sergeant Alberich’s team paid a high price to complete their last mission. Unfortunately for Diosa, she couldn’t celebrate the success or grieve at the team’s loss. Severely wounded, the doctors held her in a medically induced coma until they sorted out her injuries. Even when they operated, the surgical team worked under constraints. The Galactic Council Navy wanted her patched up with no metal or artificial apparatus in her body.

The healing would take longer. But the Marine Corps wanted their top Striker team leader back while maintaining her ability to operate in the fluctuating environment of shifting gravities. Clearing corridors of enemy combatants was hard enough without adding detectable alloy to her profile. Being excellent at the dangerous job earned Diosa Alberich the call sign, Warlock.

On the way to her first assignment after recuperating and re-training, Warlock suffered another injury. This time, the operation would give her a bionic eye. Although still smart, skilled, and dangerous, the artificial module of multi-sensors, classified Diosa Alberich as unfit for duty.

Unfit For Duty, book 1 in the Unfit For Duty series is set in the Galactic Council Realm as created by Clifton James author of The Space Pilot series. Originally published as Call Sign Warlock book 1, Op File Revenge.
