by Rachel Bach
Fortune's Pawn throws you headfirst into the life of Devi Morris, a mercenary with an iron will and bigger ambitions than her current paygrade. She takes a high-risk, high-reward security gig on the Glorious Fool, a ship infamous for attracting trouble, betting that a year there will rocket her career forward. What she finds is a labyrinth of danger, alien threats, and crew secrets that make "unlucky" an understatement. Reading this feels like strapping into a rollercoaster: it's relentlessly fast, gritty, and exciting, with Devi constantly having to outfight, outwit, and outlast impossible odds. If you're looking for a space opera that delivers non-stop action with a protagonist who truly earns her badass status, this is absolutely for you.
If you found yourself cheering for Devi Morris's relentless ambition and her knack for getting into (and out of) trouble, you're in luck. We've curated a list of books that hit similar sweet spots. You'll find more action-packed space opera adventures, often with that military sci-fi edge, in books like Scalzi's "The Collapsing Empire" or "Leviathan Wakes." And for more strong, capable female protagonists navigating dangerous space challenges, look to Elizabeth Moon's "Vatta's War" series or Ann Aguirre's "Grimspace." These all share that exciting, gritty feel of a character fighting for their place in a vast, unforgiving galaxy.
