The Wolf Cub

Being the “wolf pup”—the youngest in a planetary survey group—is easy. As long as your ship isn’t taken captive by space pirates. As long as you don’t end up behind the commander’s back and don’t take responsibility for other people’s lives. As long as you haven’t faced the high bosses who play their own games. And then you’ll realize you’re no longer a wolf pup, but an old and wise space wolf… if you live long enough.
