First Of The First

Mike is a soldier. Not just an ordinary soldier, she is a female reptile and a member of a multi-species elite team in the most powerful independent army in the galaxy. And she is heiress to the throne of one of the largest empires in the galaxy, a destiny she has been running away from for most of her life. Right now, she is on a leave of absence from the army, taking a break to cruise around the galaxy for some well-earned rest and recuperation with two of her best friends, General Sally, or ‘Sah Lee of the Aarnth’, Commander in Chief of the army, and the human Mark who has his own huge starship, of a type that is the most advanced in the known universe. (How did he get that? Well, that’s complicated.). Mike’s destiny catches up with her, along with the realisation that as the absolute ruler of the Herassan Empire, where her word is law, she must be able to change things so that she can get back to living her own life. That can’t be that difficult, can it?
