Fierce Girls

The more things change, the more they stay the same, we'll at least sometimes!

100 years in the future there are still fanatics terrorists who seek to create chaos and mayhem wherever they can, turmoil in Africa, and international peacekeeping efforts that don't always keep the peace.

In the jungles of Africa, a courageous, tough, highly competent (and beautiful) Marine Force Recon squad leader named Susan 'Molly' Bennett can't sit by and just watch while some of the world's most wanted terrorists murder their captives right in front of her eyes.

Molly's actions make her a target that only grows bigger after a fortunate meeting with navy Lieutenant Paul 'Rick' O'Brien and his family of extraordinary women and girls including his precocious daughter Ciara. Hunted by teams of assassins O'Brien and Bennett form an unbreakable bond forged under fire that will serve them well as events unfold around them.

They and Ciara spend months moving from one not so 'safe' house to another as the hunters close in on them. A lack of better options, or any at all, forces them to make a fateful decision that will separate Rick from his little girl for what may be years and will have far-reaching ramifications for the future.

Their decision: Self-imposed exile under new identities on an alien planet that is home to Earth's first extra-solar. There, known as Molly Pickford and Rick Cassidy, they become members of the Colonial Rangers, the international force sent to protect the colony from its native wildlife.

They become friends with some of the female Rangers who one day will be the ones whose courage and smarts will determine the survival of the colony in a perilous future that is approaching faster than anyone could know.

"I love being a Marine but there are days... We may have a lot of the same problems in 2122 we did a hundred years ago but back then the Gul brothers weren't paying lots to see my head on a spike! Not that I was born yet but that's not the point! So, I'm a pretty good shot and Rick is even better. Did I ask daddy Gul and his boys to go on a rampage? No, I didn't! But now we have to leave the planet and go to the New Hope Colony where the locals like to eat people!"
-Staff Sergeant Susan 'Molly' Bennett, USMC
