Synopsis: When gaggle of military spouses gets abandoned on a defunct asteroid base, can Quinn Templeton rescue herself and the others before the Krimson Empire attacks?

This story was first published in The Expanding Universe 5.

My rating: ★★★★☆

Quinn and a bunch of other military spouses are suddenly left stranded on an asteroid base just as they find out that the Krimson Empire is set to attack.

I have been wanting to read this series for so long and I am so glad I started with this prequel because you see exactly what happens and why. The first book in the series takes place a little bit after this—after Quinn was left to die, her children were taken from her, and, oh yeah, they accused her of treason.

I really enjoyed this novella! It was action-packed from the start, what with a bunch of unsuspecting military spouses being left behind to die. But I loved Quinn and the way she took charge to get them off the asteroid. She’s very smart and I enjoyed following her in this insane situation. I also loved her friend Tony! He’s an interesting guy for sure, and I’m not gonna lie, I was totally shipping him and Quinn 😆

But then we find out that she’s married and that made me sad. Lol. It’s fine though, cause I enjoyed this! The story was intriguing, and this was not as light as this author’s other series, which is fine with me! I love a little swearing and exploding heads! 😆 This was a great start to the series though!
