No Gods and Precious Few Heroes by Christopher Harvie
Commander Robert Tillingham is a decorated war hero that has seen it all. That is until he takes charge of a unique military school, where all of the cadets are young women seeking entrance to the Navy's officer ranks. Follow the exploits of these brazen cadets as they test the boundaries of the school's rules and Tillingham's patience. From excessive laziness, to sneaking a boy into the dorms, to attempting change in the time honored rules, the cadets have done it all. Tillingham must adapt to this Little Girl's Navy and create new and inventive ways to deal with the bizarre situations that arise at the Edwards Naval School.Christopher Harvie was born in Motherwell, Scotland.
