The Queen's Gambit by Jessie MihalikMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Samara leads her group of refugees, they call her the Queen of the Rogue Coalition. The Quint Confederacy and the Kos Empire are at war and everyone else in the galaxy is suffering. When Quint mercenaries kidnaps the new Emperor of Kos Samara sees an opportunity to intercept and ransom him back to Kos.
Valentin Kos is not the bloodthirsty Emperor she expected and he seems genuinely unaware of the problems the war is causing for non-combatants in the galaxy, but when the mercenaries are loath to lose their prize Valentin and Samara must work together.
This is a great novella. Plucky rebels, valiant Emperors, wise-cracking side-kicks and a plot that charges along. Loved it.
