Fortune's Pawn

I wish lots of adult books like this had been out there when I was a teenager

(this book is first in a series, followed by Honor's Knight and Heaven's Queen)

Finally, a fantastic protagonist in a kickass space opera, who just happens to be female!

I grew up in a small town, discovered Heinlein and LeGuin around the age of 11, and oh, do I really wish there'd been more books like this to read.

If you're a male who never reads SF books by women because you think they'll be sappy romances -- or just lame sci-fi -- then I encourage you to give this book a try. It will knock your socks off.

If you like books that include lots of torrid romantic scenes, this book will probably not suit you...
