Star Marque Rising by Shami Stovall

Welcome to a world where space travel is common, there are superhumans, cyborgs, enhanced humans and defects, and the superhumans run the government.  Clevon is an enhanced male who has learned to a warrior.  He has other skills, too, but not too many are on the right side of the law.  He fights a battle that could end badly for him but he sees it as the only way out of the hell hole he's in...

The author and Goddess Fish Blog Tour let me read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

When he wins the fight in his cage match, he's approached by a lady who wants someone like him on her team.  She's a Commodore, has a large space ship, and she wants him to fly a fighter in her quest to stop the rebellion.  He wants off the world he's on and he agrees.

This is a real space opera.  They go from planet to planet, meet with dignitaries, fight off enemies, and continue advancing her career and helping her win her goal to be one of the governors on a planet.  The fact that people have to die to get her there doesn't bother her.  When she is set to perform the ultimate betrayal, he fights with her.  They each get injured but she gets away and is set to do the dirty work.  Now he has to work to save the ones she wants to kill...

This is fast paced, she has lots of secrets and she doesn't share them, she intends to prove she's as good as superhuman, and she has no intention of stopping.

It's almost like Star Wars but there is no noble cause here.  The author writes well, the action is constant, and I read it in one day.  Anyone who likes sci-fi should enjoy this read.  And there's most likely another book coming...
