Bowers hits another homer. Well extrapolated from A Vow to Sophia, his heroin, Onja, is still fighting her personal demons along with the Serians. Bowers is one of the few authors who seems to be able to keep up with Bruce Davis where action scenes occur. And there's plenty of action in Fighter Queen.

I loved it! The second book didn't stray from the first and sounds like it is leading into the third book without taking away anything from the second. Creates a big picture without taking anything away from what is going on right now in this book.

This is intelligent action set in futuristic worlds that only a superior imagination could create. The worlds, characters and action are so real, I want to go there. But only after Onja has quelled the Sirians.

The Fighter Queens is the last book in an epic saga written by the prolific author, John Bowers. As with all the other books in the series, this book didn’t disappoint. It was full of the usual action, as you would expect from this author. However, it also rounded out the whole series nicely, which is what many final books don’t do.
If you have read all the books, and I hope you have, then you would have developed a few questions along the way. For example, whatever happened to some of the characters? Were they killed? Did they get captured? This book answers all of those questions, and many more. Furthermore, many of the less likable characters finally get their come-uppances. I won’t give anything away, but I loved the way certain characters, who had gotten away with blue-murder, finally paid for their years of less than good behavior.
If you have read all the reviews I have done for this series, then you will already know that I am a fan. That being said, I can’t recommend these books more highly. If you love drama, action, intrigue and sex, then you will love these books. Give them a go; you won’t be disappointed, I promise.

The Hottest Chick in Science Fiction
From a scared kid to the hottest (in more ways than one) gunner in the fleet, Onja Pederson is a dangerous, knock-down-sexy, heroin that kept me glued to the story.
And her pilot / boyfriend, ain't too bad either.
Good guys, bad guys, sadists, love, hate, fear. Bowers is the master of them all.
Note: I work for the publisher, but I can say anything I want, so take it for what it's worth.

Sophia's Tears! (Spoiler Alert!)
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.
