When humans left Earth behind eons ago, they had no idea the galaxy would be such a dangerous place, full of pirates, conmen, and hostile alien species. Nor did they know they'd become pawns in a galactic game of strategy, intrigue, and daring, that would see empires rise and fall, and fortunes made and lost. The Great Game. If you're bold enough to play and risk it all, the galaxy can be yours. Or, you might walk away with little more than your life-if you're lucky enough to walk away at all. Stasia Kincaid has never heard of the Great Game, at least not until she learns her mother died while playing it. Not only that, her mother was also the greatest space pirate who ever ruled the skies of I-space, and was on the verge of winning-before she was murdered. When a member of the mysterious alien race known as the Denaquka approaches Stasia and asks her to take her mother's place, she sees it as a chance to avenge her mother and learn about the woman she thought she knew. Too bad she isn't entirely sure what the Game is or how to play it. But as the Denaquka like to say: Entertain them or die. Stasia soon learns she has no idea who to trust or just how deep the levels of manipulation go. Suddenly the difference between competitor and ally is impossible to judge. Can she trust the people she meets on her quest to win or will everyone she cares about betray her? And if she does manage to navigate through a game where the rules keep shifting, when she peels back the layers to find the truth, is she even sure she'll want the prize at the end?

Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

In the near future, humans have colonized Mars, joined pirates in space, and divided Earth into two vastly different nations: The United Empires and Liansa. When a mission to Mars goes awry, Ailee Chambers---a Sergeant in Earth's Interstellar Force---is left for dead in a spaceship with no life support, and an alien contraption wrapped around her neck. She is rescued, but there's no cause for celebration, because her saviors are pirates, disgusting monsters who kill Martians and Earthers for sport. Yet, when the Captain of the pirates' ship, Felix Oringo, enlists her help to unravel the plans of Boss---the leader of all pirates---Ailee begins sympathizing with her snarky captor. Boss claims he will liberate Liansans from their dictatorship, but Ailee remains unconvinced. After all, what do men in power want? More power. However, in her quest to unveil the leader's plans, the irresistible Boss falls for her, complicating her relationship with Felix, her loyalty to the United Empires, and matters of the heart. For the first time in history, Mars and Earth combine forces to eliminate Boss and retrieve Ailee---why is she so important?---and it's a toss up as to who makes it out alive. * * * Ranking: #5 in femmefatale
