When a governmental Space Station gets taken by a terrorist organisation, its headstrong Chief Architect must escape upon learning that the terrorists have also kidnapped her disabled husband back on earth.

My version, obviously speculating on several story points:

"When a rogue commander takes over the Confederation's central space station, the station's headstrong architect must use the station's "secrets" to try and distract the commander's troops while also rescuing their captives, including her disabled husband."

Thanks guys, all interesting points.

Ive already planned and written over half of it so i dont think ill be making any of these extremely drastic changes that youve suggested. But they're all still good to have on the back for any re-writes that may (will) come a little later.

I think the main thing i have to concentrate on is to capitlize as much as possible on the idea that she has 'insider' knowledge on the space station, power that she can (and does) use to her advantage. Useing this to foil the bad guys as much as possible

I mean kept quiet, not kept quit.
