Ralph Kinnison's wife, a steady and capable presence whose competence and nerve quietly anchor one of the Service's most daring officers.

## Who they are

Eunice belongs to the domestic world that Triplanetary's officers are fighting to preserve, but she is no ornament; her resourcefulness matches her husband's and her judgment is trusted. The strain of loving a man whose missions may not bring him home is the quiet tension beneath her scenes, and she carries it without complaint. She matters because she makes the Service's sacrifices personal, giving the reader a stake in the people behind the screens and torpedoes.
