The Girls From Alcyone by Cary Caffrey
4.0
Caffrey blends vivid description with fast-paced action to make this an exciting, quick read. I really enjoyed following the story of Sigrid and Suko as they fight for their lives against various men who fear a woman with power.
Also, this book passes the Bechdel Test, which is awesome, and there is a large range of strong female characters to admire -- something I find rather lacking in sci-fi and fantasy in general, so it's always welcome to see.
The love story was sweet and harrowing, played out as it was against space battles, separation, rescue missions, and near misses with death.
Looking forward to more from this author.
