The New Benign Incursion Cast

Laurie’s endless legal and administrative headaches pale in comparison to her scandalous attraction to the young physician/engineer on spaceship Pegasus I. Here are new drawings of characters for The Benign Incursion, Book Two in the Supreme Commander Laurie series:

Supreme Commander Laurie Lachrer

Petite, red-headed Laurie takes up the responsibilities of Supreme Commander of the United System Space Force in May 2076, but by November she’s exhausted by the endless administrative hassles and the growing disrespect shown to her. But what’s this about changing her last name to Morgan?

Lt. Commander Rod Morgan

Brilliant and upcoming physician/engineer at thirty-five, assigned to saucer Pegasus II, Morgan is tall and slender, with well-defined pectorals, prematurely gray hair, intense deep-set gray-blue eyes, and is seemingly irresistible to women.

Captain Mavis Wheeler

Stunning at six-foot-one, the author of On the Use of Xon Technology as Electromagnetic Pulse Disruptor in Space Combat is appointed captain of USSF saucer Pegasus II, but soon finds herself disturbingly at odds with her mentor Laurie.

Cardecu

Chairman of the Dream’s Committee of Six which formed on the planet Umbrae when the Counselors came into contact with Jack Commer’s son and dog Trotter. Like his fellow committee members, Cardecu has adopted a permanent Beagle-human shape to better interface with Sol.

Lt. Commander Cadagasgar Wirlmann

Sandy-haired, ruggedly handsome, graduating top of his class at the USSF Academy, Cad was unjustly demoted to a Detention Services goon, but was determined to win back his piloting credentials. He’s now Laurie’s copilot aboard Pegasus I and shows far more initiative than anyone thought him capable of.

Carla Posttner

Sociopath jailed for her attempt to overthrow the United System in April 2076, but freed by her lover, President Robert Easterling, her a month later and reappointed director of USSF Detention Services. But in league with Easterling, she repeated the power grab the very next month and was jailed a second time. Then she’s chosen as Sol’s ambassador to the Dream.

Commander John Perkins

Director of USSF Detention Services and Laurie’s bête noire, Perkins apparently exists to be of constant loyal service to Carla Posttner.

Cassie Wolfduy

A shrill, frizzy blonde with beady blue eyes, Cassie is the mother of the airman Laurie had to kill in self-defense. With assistance from Detention Service Director Perkins and the Anti-Spacer Foundation, her civil suit against Laurie gets upgraded to a murder charge in November 2076.
