The Fighter Queen Saga #5
The Fighter Queen
The exciting conclusion to The Fighter Queen saga.
“Fast paced and interesting.” –DS Schertz
“If you love drama, action, intrigue and sex, then you will love these books.” –Ben Brown
“Hold on to your panic bar and take a ride with The Fighter Queen if you can handle it.” –Al K
Twenty years after she enlisted in the UF Space Force, Onja Kvoorik is the most wanted woman in the galaxy. The Sirian Confederacy has put a price on her ten million sirios, dead or alive. But the Fighter Queen can’t stop yet. As a terrified 12 year-old in the Temple of Sophia, she vowed before the goddess to find and free her mother and sister, both slaves of Sirius.
The war has crossed the galaxy, but the Confederacy is deadlier than ever. The next campaign will be against Vega 3, where she hopes to find her father still alive; and if she survives that one, the final invasion – the Sirian home world, where her mother and sister disappeared 27 years ago.
Will she be able to fulfill her vow to Sophia, or has time run out on her scattered family? It’s been a long war, and Onja has survived some close calls, with the hottest fighting still ahead.
But she has a new pilot now, a natural-born stick; his name is Johnny Lincoln II.

This is the last book published in "The Fighter Queen" series.
The story is pure Bowers with his particular stamp all over it. Action, drama, the "big" picture, heartbreak, and triumphs.
The story grabbed me from page one and didn't let go until the end. At the time, I was quite disappointed that it was over. But my sorrow turned to joy when the prequel (The Fighter King) came out and then Star Marine and others.
This is quite a ride. Every bit as exiting as A Vow to Sophia. Hold on to your panic bar and take a ride with The Fighter Queen if you can handle it.

So I read The Fighter Queen Saga in chronological order and by the time I reached the final book, The Fighter Queen, I wanted satisfaction. I wanted to see that Federation-Syrian war won by the Federation. I wanted to see retribution given where it was due and mountains of punishment heaped on those who deserved it. Primarily, having seen Onja loose her two greatest loves and her father, I wanted her to find her mother and sister. I wanted Onja to be given some measure of peace.
I am rating The Fighter Queen with five stars because it met all of my expectations and desires as well as delivers a superb ending. Plus, it threw in a few unexpected twists and delightful surprises with plenty of action throughout.
However, it is my personal opinion that John Bowers' most spectacular writing is contained in A Vow to Sophia and Star Marine. While each of the five books of the saga are individual stories, so much is left out when a person only reads one of them. I fully believe those who read The Fighter Queen without first reading the other stories will ask themselves questions like: 'Why was Johnny Lincoln so great?' What's the story behind Oliver Lincoln III? What's the whole history between Onja and Ursula? Why do they both hate Jack Hinds? And so, seeking 'the rest of the story' they will continue to read the other four books.
I see The Fighter King and The Sword of Sophia as the prelude; the beginning of a horrific scenario that sparks a multi-planetary war. One planet, inhabited by people who possess no moral or ethical code, no appreciation for the unique races of mankind and no respect for women are a people hell bent on overtaking and ruling the entire galaxy with no forethought that anyone would dare retaliate against them. A Vow to Sophia and Star Marine are the crescendo in which the true emotions of all the characters are ripped wide open for the reader to absorb, to feel and appreciate…or hate. The Fighter Queen is that final hurdle which pulls it all together to a truly splendid climax where once again good triumphs over evil and the primary characters can hope to live happily ever after. Sophia's Tears!

4.7 stars. Great wrap up to the series. Some great action as well as excellent character development.

Solid story...a lot of personal dramas
Solid plot and plenty of action. At times, however, the fighter queen was more of a drama queen. A little too many tears and spats for my taste.

5 Stars, of course!
All of Mr. Bower's books deserve 5 stars! Don't take my word for it, get one and make up your own mind! Looking forward to his new Nick Walker book, due to be published this summer (2016)!
