Live by the Sword


From the time he was a little boy Arthur wanted to be in law enforcement. Not some lowly Earth schlep of a cop, but rather an interplanetary undercover agent of the Community of Worlds’ Interpol. When he entered college he was approached when word got out of his unyielding desire to serve. The fact that he would need to serve as a female agent did not deter Arthur one bit.

As Mindy, the defender of all that is good, Arthur became the agent of her dreams. Her skill and beauty enhanced her reputation around the galaxy. Bad guys did not want Mindy after them. She always got her man.

Her fame also made her a target. She brought down the largest crime syndicates in the Community of Worlds. Crime lords knew the balance was out of their favor. A plan was hatched; a trap set. Mindy never backed down from a difficult assignment. She walked in eyes wide open and took down most of the bad guys. But there were too many and they outflanked Mindy. When the dust settled Mindy was dead.

On an out world in the Community of Worlds a young boy was reading about Mindy’s death. She was his superhero saving the galaxy from evil. For as long as he could remember he wanted to be in law enforcement. Not some lowly local schlep of a cop; he wanted to be Mindy. It did not bother him if he had to be a girl to get the job done.
