Chainsaw. Khorsky

Nation states often engage in espionage and black-ops, even in times of peace. Especially in those times. Russian Confederation pilot Lieutenant Borislava "Chainsaw" Lukina's task is simple. Find the United Earth frigate Vigilance, and distract them while a spetsnaz agent attaches a tracking beacon to the ship's hull. All they have to do is cripple their own ship and wait to be found, then engage in a risky space-walk with no backup where they'll both be shot as spies if they're caught. What could possibly go wrong?A novella set in the Legacy Fleet universe, sixteen years before the events of Legacy Fleet.
A prequel to the novel Hammerfall.
