They said I would never finish flight school. Never rank at the top of my class. Never fly with the top aces. Never return from combat against the Kelton androids. Never survive emergency surgery.
Here I am.
The year is 2151, Earth is gone. A hell scape. I’ve been awoken after 72 years of cryosleep on a medical facility on Saturn’s moon, Titan. I have nothing, no home, no friends, no concept of this new world, these Titans.
All that remains is the old conflict that has blackened my veins and memories of the ones I loved still fresh in my heart. Forgotten for decades.
But it seems war hasn’t forgotten me, no, even in my slumber. My name is Captain Victoria Ann Belic, I was a wife and an ace fighter pilot, and have been revived for one reason—to die again.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!

Love stories about emerging AI!
For Alasdair Shaw's Independence, fasten your seatbelts...assuming they're still there and you can still scarf up enough of the remaining oxygen to power your muscles.
This is one great space series. I read all four of the books in a matter of one weekend. Hope more is to come...
I love a good space battle and this author did not disappoint. And so many twists and turns you almost need a road map to finish this engrossing read.
Cover is fabulous! Can’t wait to read this one!
