About Space Deputy:

 

A millennium into the future, the Saloon Sector is where the Wild West meets the 1950s, in space, with robots. It’s where careers go to die.

Thelma Bach graduated top of her class after four years at the Galactic Justice academy. But she’s a Rock Sector citizen. The core worlders were never going to let her transcend her background. So she’s been assigned to serve her seven years as a deputy in the Saloon Sector. The message for the Federation’s out-world citizens is clear: you’ll never be our equal, so don’t even try.

The stuffy bureaucrats of the Galactic Justice service chose the wrong person to push around. Thelma will subvert her interstellar sheriff, charm artificial intelligences, fight bandits and hunt the legendary Eldorado Cache. But with the frontier region holding secrets of its own, she needs to choose her new allies wisely because a scary, business-suited enemy is hunting her.

“Space Deputy” is a fast-paced, offbeat space adventure.

 

Excerpt:

 

This rule changed everything.

If she’d been sent back to the Rock Sector, she’d have been at home, but she’d also have been locked into a rigid routine, probably acting as an interstellar inspector and annoying hard-working miners by investigating their operations on distant asteroids.

But the Galactic Justice service hadn’t wanted her to have the comforts of home. They’d wanted to underline just how bad things could get for uppity Rockers—Rock Sector citizens—who tried to crash core world institutions of privilege.

She’d been banished, but she could spin this.

Excitement raced through her, quickening her heartbeat and breathing. She’d had three years at college; four years at the elite Galactic Justice academy. What had she learned? What could she use to turn her exile in the Saloon Sector into a giant sod you to the bigots at the academy and in government?

Ever so slowly, Thelma smiled.

Her table mates leaned away from her. Their survival instincts were excellent.
