Publisher's summary

When Nickie accidentally activates her special functions and finds herself with a stolen ship full of hostile Skaine, she has no choice but to figure out what to do with the cards she has been dealt.

A by-product of her activation, her internal computer system also finds her Aunt Tabitha’s diary in her memory banks. In these accounts, Nickie finds a long-desired link back to her favorite aunt, whose recounted stories help them both to accept the trauma they’ve survived.

Join Nickie and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger 2, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, bar-brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, arms dealing, and the "Skaine" of the universe.

WOW

Never understood Nikki's attitude and loss until now. At least it seems she blames BA for Tabatha being away. And now she gets her Auntie's diary and get a different perspective. Really enjoy the diary stories as well.
Obviously, Nikki has begun her evolution into true adulthood. Love the transition and look forward to her continued growth.
Both of you are awesome, keep up the great work

A New Series of Nicki Grimes

Nickie Grimes has always felt like the odd man out in her family except with her Aunt Tabitha. She has spent the last five years getting drunk and fighting until the night before where her enhancements come back online when she is almost killed in a bar fight. As she is on a stolen Skaine ship with the crew locked up throughout the ship, Nicki is trying to figure out what to do next. She is surprised to find her Aunts journal entries on her enhancements and she reads through them as she figures out what to do next.

This is my first time into this universe so I have no idea what is going on. It’s clear Nicki has some serious issues in her past if she has spent the last five years drinking and brawling. But I liked following her as she decided to take care of the Skaine crew. She is a tough woman that doesn’t take any crap from anyone. I loved her snark and how she was just looking for the good fight.

I didn’t know what to think about Tabitha at first. She is the infamous Ranger Two but this didn’t mean anything to me. I did enjoy her adventures and how although she is this huge legend she is very human, well for the most part.

I think this was a good read. It has peaked my curiosity of this universe. I would like to learn more about Tabitha and about Nicki’s past/family. Kate Rudd does an amazing job narrating this story and I would also like to listen to other books narrated by her. This is a great audiobook to check out.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily listened to and posted an honest review.

Great story

I thought the story was great but do not like the change of voices for Tabitha and the Tontos from the Kurtherian Gambit stories. The accent on her and the lack of accent on them. It was a distraction. Otherwise I like the start of this series
