Freehold
The Innocent Run When
Everyone Pursueth!
Sergeant Kendra Pacelli is innocent, but that doesn’t matter to the
repressive government pursuing her. Mistakes might be made, but they are
never acknowledged, especially when billions of embezzled dollars earned
from illegal weapons sales are at stake. But where does one run when all
Earth and most settled planets are under the aegis of one government?
Answer: The Freehold of Grainne, the only developed system that belongs to
neither the UNES nor the Colonial Alliance. There, one may seek asylum and
build a new life in a society that doesn’t track its residents’ every
move, which is just what Pacelli has done. But now things are about to go
royally to hell. Because Earth’s government has found out where she is . .
