Cassandra became a national hero when she defended Notoe of the Forest People against a false murder charge when no other barrister would take the case. Her defense was ingenious, but dangerous. If she lost the case, she could have faced execution. In the end, it was Henry the Honey Badger's testimony in court that saved the day. In "The Lion's Share," Cassandra's popularity draws the attention of two unstable men. One sees her as part of a conspiracy led by Elon Musk to repopulate the earth with Martian cyborgs. The other plans to use her in his own repopulation plan. Both had generous encouragement from a cadaverously thin man with translucent skin. Her husband, Major Riley, is out of the country on a training mission. But as everyone knows, Cassandra is no pushover. And she has protective eyes watching over her and the baby growing in her womb. Henry has become a serious operator in the executive protection business and is her bodyguard. Danger Dan Coetzee and Doctor Patti the Stewardess are also on watch. Both in their sixties, neither had ever married or had children, but their love for Cassandra led them to... Well, you'll just have to read the book.
Autorenporträt
Themistocles Jacks has had a variety of jobs, few of them worth mentioning, few at which he excelled. Nonetheless, all were worthwhile, if only to teach the author about work and the people who do it. And the people who won't. He has spent many years in the Republic of Malinda, and observed that the happiest people were not the high and mighty, but the dutiful and grateful; that men and women were created by God to need and help each other; that work is what needs to be done, and there is dignity in doing it; and that a day watching the animals and an evening watching the sky are timeless pleasures. He calls such delights, "wild bush country TV." Perhaps the most interesting thing he has learned is that honey badgers are most remarkable creatures. Especially the one named Henry.
