The Blunt End of the Service

Serving aboard the half derelict space station Orbital One, the neatly ordered lives of Sub-Captain Chuck Poulson and Senior Cadet Penelope Parker are suddenly turned upside down as they find themselves at the center of intrigue in a plot involving sabotage, larceny and murder. Cut off from outside help, they find themselves propelled to the sharp end of the service and with things not always as they seem, they must negotiate ruthless staff officers, overcome battle hardened marines and outwit inter-stellar crime syndicates if they are to survive and win the day.
