Dexta by Cj Ryan
In the vast galactic empire of the thirty-third century, bureaucracy rules-and brains and beauty are the keys to success. Now one governmental bombshell will have to use her every resource to stop a planetwide mutiny.Dexta
Inside the Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs, Gloria VanDeen is a low-level bureaucrat. But she is no
faceless cog. The stunning, cunning beauty happens to be the current Emperor's ex-wife and sometime
playmate-a distinct advantage when disorder erupts on one of the small planets she oversees. For Gloria's personal life has catapulted her into the limelight, and an off-Earth assignment is just what she needs to get back to work. But the situation may be trickier than she imagines.
For decades, the docile creatures of Mynjhino have been dominated by the humans of the corporate giant GalaxCo. Now a rebellious few have gotten hold of antique semiautomatic rifles-and are mowing down their Imperial overlords. Gloria has given her body and soul to Dexta, to great effect. But when trying to broker peace with the Myn, even that may not be enough.
Since childhood, and knowing how to move a pencil, C.J. Ryan wrote short stories, poems and plays about nature and fun characters in school. Later, computers took over. While attending college and study of writing courses, interviews were conducted with many people for Human Interest articles written for the York Sunday News. The insurance profession followed. Articles were composed for dear clients to be aware of the most current products and important information. Short stories were written during free time. As the years went by, several writing courses were much enjoyed. With a college degree in Letters, Arts, and Sciences, courses within which required composition were highly chosen. After early retirement from the insurance industry, concentration has centered on creative writing, like the days of holding a pencil and tapping the computer keyboard.
