Synopsis: Secretly, Sloane Tarnish has always admired her outlaw of an uncle, and his tales of not-so-legal adventures across the galaxy–but she never thought she'd be asked to help with one of his heists.
When Uncle Vin shows up on her med school campus with a plan to steal a chip full of Fleet intelligence–and the baffling idea to have her play a key role in the scheme–Sloane's got her doubts. Uncle Vin doesn't seem to realize that her top skills involve the kind of shots you drink, not the ones you fire.
But Vin's convinced the Fleet's got plans to install empirical rule across the free galaxy, and that this data could stop them before they can begin. When a bunch of rogue delivery drones start taking shots at her–and not the liquid kind–she has to figure he's onto something.
To prove it, all she needs to do is steal the data key from the middle of a Fleet ball... and right out from under the Commander's nose.
Too bad she's got absolutely no idea what she's doing...
Outlaw Rising is the prequel novella to the Parse Galaxy space opera adventure series.
When her outlaw of an uncle comes to her med school to recruit her for one of his heists, Sloane isn’t sure her skills are going to be of any help. Unfortunately for her, she is thrown headfirst into this scheme when rogue drones start freaking shooting at her and she has to think quickly and help her uncle along the way.

This wasn’t bad for a freebie I randomly came across one day. Lol. It was interesting overall and pretty fun too. But it also wasn’t absolutely amazing. I just didn’t find that I connected with the characters. But in the defense of this novella, it was just that: a prequel novella. I’m unsure whether I want to continue on with the series... though I can’t lie, the first book in the series sounds pretty interesting. And I do love me a fun, action-y sci-fi read...

Haven't read this one. Sometimes prequel novellas come out after the first book is out, and then it is easier to read them and not feel like they are missing something maybe? Anyway, thanks for sharing!
