Politics, Love, and Live Bait - Kindle Fiction

Politics, Love, and Live Bait (Book 3 of the Phoenix Chronicles) 
by K.J. Blaine 

The space cruiser Phoenix has just fought off Earth's first alien invaders and now it's time for the ship to spend some time in Space Dock for scheduled maintenance. Meanwhile, the crew has extended shore leave on Earth.

Major Slate (the Fifi pilot from Telepaths and Traitors) escapes from military prison and throws a wrench in everyone's plans, kidnapping Tim and using him to bait Jason and young Steve into his trap. Also covered in this smorgasbord of mini-stories are Vinny's reading lessons, Jason and Ellen's reunion and wedding, the forging of Armstrong Garrett StarDesigns, Tim and Mary's odd courtship, and Steve's 18th birthday.

It should be noted that this is not really a complete novel as much as a compendium of "deleted scenes" which happened between "Hard Time" and "Gynocracy". There is very little action in space and it is purposely left incomplete where Gynocracy will take over. Please be aware of the nature of this fan-requested "bonus material" and do not leave nasty reviews to complain about its incompleteness. You have been warned.
