Lesbian gunslinger fights spies in space! Three factions vie for control of the galaxy. Rig, a gunslinging, thieving, rebel with a cause, doesn’t give a damn about them and she hasn’t looked back since abandoning her faction three years ago. That is, until her former faction sends her a message: return what she stole from them, or they’ll kill her twin sister. Rig embarks on a journey across the galaxy to save her sister – but for once she’s not alone. She has help from her network of resistance contacts, her taser-wielding librarian girlfriend, and a mysterious bounty hunter. If Rig fails and her former faction finds what she stole from them, trillions of lives will be lost--including her sister's. But if she succeeds, she might just pull the whole damn faction system down around their ears. Either way, she’s going to do it with panache and pizzazz.

Review of 'Bluebird' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A fun space adventure novel set in a forever war between 3 factions whose motivations and backdrops seem somewhat thin but are good enough for a relatively low scopes, tight cast adventure such as this one. It feels like the pacing and writing could be polished a bit and some portions are longer than I wished but the awkward bits never really get in the way for long enough to detract from the Firefly-ish, Han Solo-ish feeling story.
