Vaslisha Tor Dain is a mercenary starship captain with a few simple rules: A good ship is better than a great man, in case of confusion always err on the side of blowing someone’s head off, and never fall for a telepath or a member of her crew.All of those are about to bite her in the behind.Vas’s life takes a turn for the worse when she comes back to her crew after what should have been a two … after what should have been a two week pleasure trip to find out she’s actually been gone a month and has no memory of missing time. Her beloved ship, The Victorious Dead, has been sold for scrap and its pieces scattered throughout the galaxy. In addition, there are unmarked ships blowing apart entire planets and the Commonwealth government can’t, or won’t, stop them.
And that’s just her first day back.
Vas has to fight her crew, the Commonwealth, and a mysterious cadre of warrior monks to get her ship back and save a universe that may not want to be saved.

well written science fiction with a female primary character.
A slightly different sifi novel.
I liked it so well I bought #2 and am in the process of reading It now.
Enjoy I did
I could not put this down. In fact, I had the buy book 2 as soon as I finish this. Good character development, interesting atmosphere, and just plain fun. I loved it!
Will definitely read the next book!
Good storyline. I liked the characters. Hard to put down.
Vas and her band of mercenaries romp across the universe in a star cruiser turned bordello they pressed into service after their own ship was sold as scrap by an unscrupulous dock master. They must stop an ancient evil that has returned from banishment in another dimension. This is definitely a different spin on Space Opera!
A rollicking scifi adventure, there was plenty of action, including space battles (my favorite), humor, lots of different beings serving on a mercenary crew and a tough as nails with a heart of gold female captain. Capitan Vaslisha Tor Dain comes back from what was supposed to be a two week trip to find she’s been gone a month and has memories missing from that time, her ship, The Victorious Dead, has been broken up and sold in pieces all over the galaxy, and then there are the ominous ships attacking entire planets and several other mysterious happenings that make her believe someone is out to get her. She ends up with a replacement ship that was outfitted as a floating brothel called the Warrior Wench, but it may be just what she needs since it has some pretty sweet upgrades that come in handy during her adventures. Not as convenient is her sudden attraction to her second, the telepath Deven, which would break two of her rules: no falling for telepaths or members of her crew. I thought the story ended somewhat abruptly, but it wasn’t really a cliffhanger, things were wrapped up as more of an ending of one adventure with more to come. It definitely made me want to pick up the next story to see what Vas and her crew get up to next.
Some what confusing
This is the first I’ve read this author and am happy that I did. Warrior Wench is a fast paced, action packed thriller you need to try. It’s a great sci-fi adventure that leaves you wanting more.
I can’t wait for the next installment.
I’d read a different series by the writer, so I wanted to see this…and it was a bit of a miss for me. The pacing was very uneven–it never slowed down on the escalation of the next thing happening.
This is a fast paced action filled story, male macho hero and some relations. If you like action and not too much depth in the story, then you will like this book.
The title was enough to hook me. A suspenseful swashbuckling tale.
