Richard Friesen

Ensign's Renown Richard Friesen

After Ensign Brandeis Clark, a.k.a. Brandy, crashes her first spaceship, she becomes famous...but no one will hire her. Even though she was an inexperienced teenager, the crash wasn't her fault, and she saved most of the crew. On top of that, she invented a way to navigate through faster-than-light travel. And still no one wants her. Then, on her eighteenth birthday, one of the people she saved, brilliant theoretical physicist Dr. Lu Qui-Shi, offers her a job working with the team trying to recreate her original tricks. When she agrees, she enters a minefield of hide-bound physicists, arrogant officers trying to sexually harass her, constant bombardment by the paparazzi, and a captain too scared of her to be a good commanding officer. In other words, a situation in need of a good shakeup. Which is Brandy's specialty. Book 2 in the Clark Family Saga...a tale of universe-spanning physics, alien encounters, and a race against a clock that travels faster than light!Book 1: Prodigy's LossBook 2: Ensign's RenownBook 3 (forthcoming): Ace's Anguish
