Tail Kicker — R. Mac Wheeler

This SF adventure ricochets between prison breaks, conspiracy, shootouts, assassins, corrupt cops, conflicted love, and arcane mysticism, tempered by a motherly artificial interface.

Angel careens from her safe career managing cargo in the Merchant Corps to dodging plasma charges and bombs. She's been stalked by a peculiar savant with an eerily similar history, who recruits her into the Marshals Service to corral the EU's gamier residents in the galaxy's frontier.

As marshal-pilot of the newly commissioned Tail Kicker, Angel stumbles from one ohcrap to another. The royal-blue armored vests the marshals wear are more like bull-red targets. They attract bad guys with a profound hatred for the elite officers of the Service. Angel's never taken a last name -- Claypigeon would fit.

TAIL KICKER is the fourth volume of the PERSONA KORY MAE series.
