The Fighter Queen — John Bowers

The exciting conclusion to The Fighter Queen saga. Twenty years after she enlisted in the UF Space Force, Onja Kvoorik is the most wanted woman in the galaxy. The Sirian Confederacy has put a price on her head: ten million sirios, dead or alive. But the Fighter Queen can't stop yet. As a terrified 12 year-old in the Temple of Sophia, she vowed before the goddess to find and free her mother and sister, both slaves of Sirius. The war has crossed the galaxy, but the Confederacy is deadlier than ever. The next campaign will be against Vega 3, where she hopes to find her father still alive; and if she survives that one, the final invasion - the Sirian home world, where her mother and sister disappeared 27 years ago. Will she be able to fulfill her vow to Sophia, or has time run out on her scattered family? It's been a long war, and Onja has survived some close calls, with the hottest fighting still ahead. But she has a new pilot now, a natural-born stick; his name is Johnny Lincoln II.114,000 words (roughly equivalent to 430 pages in mass market paperback format)Rated "R
