Star Risk - 03 The Doublecross Program - Plot & Excerpts
All was well on the tropic vacation planet� if you were flush. Star Risk, ltd., was not, at the moment. "I don't believe it," M'chel Riss snarled. "How-in-hells could we be broke? We had two� no, three contracts this year that nobody reneged on." Riss, with her blond hair, green eyes, and statuesque build, could have been a runway model. Actually, she was an ex-Alliance Marine Corps major who'd resigned her commission after assignments from a line battalion executive officer to advisory slots to covert operations, because of general boredom and a lecherous commanding officer. Looking for adventure was one thing. Eating regularly was another, which is how she became the second member of Star Risk. "Not quite broke," Jasmine King, Star Risk's general amanuensis, said. She was, improbably, prettier than Riss and had been accused of being a robot. But since she refused to admit one way or another and no one knew of a culture capable of building a robot�actually, an android�as competent and beautiful as King, the matter remained in abeyance.
