Ella and the Admiral

When Admiral Goran Chandler suddenly turns up in Ella’s restaurant her comfortable world is thrown into turmoil. Ten years ago he’d been a senior commander, and captain of the frigate Antelope. She had been Lieutenant Bulich then, and he’d kicked her off his ship.

With unexpected danger threatening, and a killer stalking the corridors of the Hotel Majestic, Ella and the admiral must work together to escape with their lives before they can consider the events of ten years ago, and what they mean now.

Like the other Dryden books, this short story is a space opera full of action and adventure, with a romance thrown in.

"Greta van der Rol serves up yet another fast-paced thrill ride set in the Dryden Universe, with a strong female lead and (happy days) another worthy admiral in her stable of fantastic alpha male commanders. The back story is expertly woven into the thread of the plot, with a tight narrative and drive to an explosive finish. This is a big story tied up in a small package, one that should satisfy readers who love some sci-fi adventure with a dollop of romance."
