Deviana Morris isn't your average mercenary. She has plans. Big ones. And a ton of ambition. One of those is going to get her killed one day - but not just yet.

Not when she just got a job on a tiny trade ship with a nasty reputation for surprises. The Glorious Fool isn't misnamed: it likes to get into trouble. And with a reputation for bad luck that makes one year as security detail on this ship equal to five years everywhere else - Devi knows she's found the perfect way to get the jump on the next part of her Plan. But the Fool doesn't give up its secrets without a fight, and one year might be more than even Devi can handle.

Reviews for Fortunes Pawn (#1 Paradox)

This book kicked ass ... I just loved it! Felicia Day Bach does a good job of showing she's not just an unfeeling, feisty fighting machine, but has flaws and vulnerabilities in a light, fast-action space opera adventure which combines romance and military set pieces in equal measure GUARDIAN A compelling story that grabs you quickly and pulls you in SFX Devi is hands-down one of the best sci-fi heroines I've read in a long time RT BOOK REVIEWS Rollicking space opera starring a tough, sexy, armor-clad space chick ... [Bach] does a nice job of painting a scenario that, if familiar - think the space marines of the Alien franchise or the motley crew of Firefly - allows her plenty of room for action. And action aplenty is what she delivers ... Lots of fun KIRKUS REVIEWS Part military space opera, part star-crossed romance, all page-turner WEEKEND HERALD (AUSTRALIA) It's not often I get to use the words stunning and spectacular and superb all in the same sentence for a novel, but Fortune's Pawn is a novel that deserves all those epithets and more THE FOUNDING FIELDS
