Sassinak was 12 when the raiders landed. That was the right age: old enough to be useful, and young enough to be broken. But Sassinak was a little different from the usual slave girl. Maybe it was her physical strength. Or her spirit. Or her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Whatever it was, it wouldn't let her resign herself to life as a slave. When the right moment came, she escaped.

That was the beginning. Now Sassinak is a Fleet captain with a pirate-chasing ship of her own and only one regret: not enough pirates.

Roy Adams ha recensito Sassinak (Planet Pirates, Vol 1) di Anne McCaffrey

Good military space opera

5 stelle

Avviso sul contenuto slavery, death of family

Good military space opera from Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon with well developed characters. There is a somewhat abrupt jump forward in time to move the plot forward, but it is later eased several times when characters reminisce about the past.

The primary driver for the main character is being enslaved when young, so slavery is mentioned frequently. However the story deliberately does not go into graphic details of all the horrors related to slavery.

I plan to continue the series but will pause a while before continuing.
