The Benjamin Girl

She was the Masters daughter and awesomely bright. She had been trained in the high sciences as were most daughters in case she should be call to honour the old bargain and marry the High Prince of Caradeon. The safety of the whole Galaxy depended upon this old treaty. Once in the Caradeon it was her task to attempt to close the dreadful portal, The Definitive Gate, that allowed the Caran, the traditional enemies of the People to traverse space from their galaxy to ours. Many daughters had gone to the Caradeon. All had failed, but maybe Ngaire *alama had something the other daughters had lacked. Friends. She had issued a challenge to Gilesh the High Prince and set off across the galaxy to find some answers and ended up serving on the Radiant, the great Union of Free Worlds starrider that patrolled the border between the Union and the Empire of Aligned Worlds. There she met calm, efficient, pragmatic Jennifer Darling the Vercoomsary on the Radiant and the probabilities altered. For Jenny had her own way of viewing the universe and wasnt afraid to take action when the circumstances called for them. No one serving on the Radiant would be unaffected by the momentous events which followed and the circuitous route which eventually led back to Cra*el itself.
