Sons of the Starfarers #7
A Queen in Hiding
Without redemption, there is no peace. Without forgiveness, there is no redemption.
Reva never asked to be the queen of an alien-human hive mind, but she never shirked from it, either. Now, she and the survivors of Star's End share a telepathic bond that allows them to think and feel as one.
But unity will not come easy. Isaac fears her growing power, and Tomas fears that if the others awake from cryo, their murderous natures will drag everyone down to their level of depravity.
The only path back to civilization is held by the very same pirates who want them all dead. Gulchina commands them personally, and she has sworn to destroy all that Reva holds dear.
Without trust, forgiveness, or healing, they will never be of one mind. That will mean the difference between survival and extinction.

Really great character development! I feel empathy with most of them, which I feel is a result of an excellent author. Great story and well crafted.
