Peacekeeper — Doug Farren

The peacekeepers were the solution to a problem: How do you enforce the laws of a society made up of a dozen species spread out across hundreds of planets?The process begins by carefully selecting the best candidates throughout the Alliance. After completing a rigorous training course, the peacekeepers endure a series of surgeries transforming them into cyborgs. They are linked to an advanced AI that will monitor their every activity. This AI is part of the ship each peacekeeper is given upon graduation. From that point on, they have the authority to enforce Alliance law wherever they may be. Peacekeepers are admired by those they protect and feared by those who break the law.Communications specialist Tom Wilks of the famous Komodo Dragon is about to find out just how demanding a peacekeeper's life can be as he undertakes the journey to becoming one of them. While at the academy, he meets Lashpa, a member of a reptilian race. The two quickly become friends and then much more as they work together to prevent an attack against Earth's government that has been in the planning for years.
