Grounded!

Lt. Nicole Shea was once a top space pilot. She crushed a marauding Wolfpack, and established First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. Now they've taken away her flight rating and reassigned her to a diplomatic post on Earth. Shea is supposed to disappear into the footnotes of history. She may have been forgotten by her fellow humans, but the defeated raiders have not forgotten her; neither have the alien Halyan't'a.
