Space Hawks

Space Hawks - The ultimate Special Operations team, they handle the dirtiest jobs in the universe. Commander Bryan Kelly, bound by honor... Operative 41, half Salukan, genetically altered... Dr. Antoinette Beaulieu, brilliant but disillusioned... and the rest of the highly trained crew are prepared to take on any top secret mission. No matter what the cost. The fate of the galaxy is in their hands. -- Commander Bryan Kelly's last mission ended in failure - and death. Now, with the handpicked crew of the Valiant, he has a second chance to prove his skills to Allied Intelligence... The mission: infiltrate enemy-occupied territory, the mineral-rich planet of Chealda, and rescue its enslaved population – including Kelly's own sister –from Salukan invaders. The danger is great and the odds are against them. But for Kelly and his team, no mission is impossible... (from the back cover of the Ace Books first edition)
