Exploration (The Catherine Kimbridge Chronicles #3)

2124 was an interesting year... I was court-martialed, demoted and sentenced to perform hard labor for the rest of my natural life... Then things got rough.

"Commodore Catherine Kimbridge... It is the judgment of this court, that for crimes against the people of the Galactic Coalition of Planets -- namely a wanton dereliction of duty in allowing the murder of a head of state in your custody -- that you should be demoted in rank to private and transported in chains to the Sagatori asteroid penal colony in the Ashkelon star system. There you will remain for the rest of your natural life."

Admiral Bud Faragon slammed his gavel down.
"This court is adjourned and may God have mercy on your soul!"
