Emiko thought she knew what it meant to work hard. She was wrong. She'll have to guard her secrets even as she battles to be at the top of her class at the Planetary Alliance Cooperative academy. Failing to become an officer is not an option. Failing to become a special ops officer isn't even worth thinking about. The training isn't everything she thought it would be, though. As she struggles to learn what it truly means to be a PAC officer, she'll discover what it takes to lead, how it feels to give up everything in the name of the PAC, and what it means to earn far more than she ever dreamed.
