Multiple episodes

Commander Bennett

Appears in: 102 Escape to Questworld, 104 Rage's Burning Wheel, 110 Alien in Washington

Commander Bennett is a top officer in the United States armed forces with mutual respect for Race Bannon, whom he sometimes calls upon for help with crisis situations. He enlists Race to stop Jeremiah Surd's nerve gas in Escape to Questworld, sends him to Russia to borrow a rocket to stop Ezekiel Rage in Rage's Burning Wheel, and supports the deactivation of a space-based defense program in Alien in Washington. At the end of the latter, he's promoted to Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ina-chan posted on the mailing list some background information from Lance Falk:

For those of you who don't have access to the AOL boards, I thought I'd
reprint these answers Lance gave to questions about Estella Velasquez'
background. Hope it'll answer some of your questions too!

re: <<I also would like to know more about Estella Velasquez. I know that she
is Hispanic, archeologist, Jessica Bannon's mother, Race's ex-wife and that
she is from South America. However, I would like to know MORE about her.
What country is she from? Do you have anything else on her that the fans do
not know about her? PLEASE tell me. >>

LANCE: I am to serve. There isn't much about Estella other than the episodes
reveal. She's Colombian. She was a top code breaker for the Intelligence One
for a while and met Race while teaching a class in cryptography methods.
She's a brilliant translator and has a mind for unraveling codes and glyphs.
She's a few years older than Race (he was one of her students). The marriage
didn't work out because their respective jobs kept them apart for months at a
time and it was too much to deal with. They have always remained friends
(sometimes more than that) but it is doubtful that they will get back together
because of their conflicting lifestyles (and we want to keep him single for
story reasons for the same reason James Bond is)!

>>Q: What do Jonny and Hadji call her; Estella, Ms. Velasquez? >>

LANCE: A: Only in a formal setting. She likes to be called by her first name
among friends, "Mom" by Jessie, and "Professor" by colleagues. (And maybe
other things by her Ex!)
