Warrior Empress: Young Adult Sci Fi Space Opera and Science Fiction Adventure
I’m 17 year-cycles old, female, feline Hoganthan and was on my journey to become an elite class space warrior. It is my life path and the one I chose.
Actually, I’m thrilled with it - or, rather, was. . .
I was THE princess of the monarchy, then disowned by my parents, then sentenced to death by my brother at the demand of the arrogant elites, then escaped the space pirates trying to kill me so that I could get to the Warrior Academy on Haden, just to have to deal with a really dumb invasion from space (what were the Cren thinking anyway?).
But now? I’ve learned my parents and brother were all assassinated by an alien kill squad - and just how did the kill squad KNOW they were at that specific, secret retreat? Hmm?
And, so that unfortunately leaves me as the ONLY remaining genetic heir to the throne.
And, trust me on this. . . I’m NOT ready for it. Clearly.
Actually, I don’t think the broad, galactic empire is ready for it either. Nor will they ever be.
I am first and foremost, now, a battle tested warrior. I may not be an elite class space marine yet, but I am of the Warrior Creed and honor bound by it. I may not see all of the metaphysical and visionary parts to all of this, but I see enough to know this is my life path. Period.
So, my political interactions are a bit less than. . . shall we say. . . polite.
I am very direct and to the point - often gunpoint - if you know what I mean. I am very attached to Sheeba, my assault rifle. Yeah, that’s what I call her.
And, yes, the elite Houses that hated me before are still hating me now - but even more so.
The trouble is that the Empire, as such, isn’t needed anymore. Not because of them, but because of the end of the Slave War. It served its purpose, but the empire structure is no longer needed the way it once was.
I favor a looser alliance of star systems governing themselves and my desire to push for the alliance will be the death of me - if the elites have anything to say about it.
And, they try. . . and try. . . and try.
I’m still here, but it is an ugly time and we get shot up. . . a lot.
I know, it is all like some sordid space opera, but read my story and you’ll understand what I’m up against and even, yes, even how I solve it in the end. . . with an ending you won’t see coming - and will leave you with a smile.
A broad ear-tail to ear-tail smile.
It did me.

About the author
J.T. Skye
42 books9 followersHi there. I'm Jon Thomas Skye, better known to my friends as J. T.
I love to write stories of heroic quests, ancient prophecies and mythical journeys along roads less traveled. They include grand, military space battles, secret alliances, desperate treachery, vengeance and retribution against the arrogance, elitism and glory hunting found at the highest levels of society.
From pirates, slavers, saboteurs and assassins to elite Warriors, trader families, cargo haulers and the many desperate refugees just trying to escape conscription.
I've loved to read and write science fiction, fantasy and action adventure stories my whole life and am passionate about mainstream Sci Fi, Space Opera, Military Sci Fi, and mythical Fantasy.
If you love Sci Fi, Fantasy and Action Adventure, join me on the journey of a life time. Sign up for my newsletter at JTSkye.com. I'll occasionally send you short notes about new things I’m working on, up-coming releases, special promotions only available to the newsletter group, new fan art and reading recommendations I think you'll enjoy.

Sympathy
A fitting end to an awful series. Only during the age of digital publishing could a series like this reach the eyes of the public. I feel sorry for anyone who paid for one of these books.
