Overview

Kara Whelan is the fiercely determined daughter of Kynan Whelan, a veteran American Federation of Planets (AFP) black ops operative who vanished deep within the Capital Alliance’s territory. When the AFP receives intelligence suggesting her father may still be alive, Kara refuses to sit on the sidelines.

Driven by loyalty and a sharp instinct for danger, she joins a Jack Crew — one of her father’s closest allies — and Ben Taylor, a young recruit pulled unexpectedly into the mission. Though not formally trained, Kara’s resolve and quick thinking make her an essential part of the rescue team.
