First Of The First
(2019)(The second book in the Unwilling From Earth series)
A novel by Andrew Maclure
Mike is a soldier. Not just an ordinary soldier, she is a female reptile and a member of a multi-species elite team in the most powerful independent army in the galaxy. And she is heiress to the throne of one of the largest empires in the galaxy, a destiny she has been running away from for most of her life.
While taking a leave of absence for some well-earned rest and recuperation with her two best friends, General Sally, or 'Sah Lee of the Aarnth', Commander in Chief of the army, and the human Mark, Mike's destiny catches up with her, along with the realisation that if she ascends to the throne, where her word is law, she can change things so that she can get back to living her own life.
That can't be that difficult, can it?
Does this mellow Mike? Her best friend, Mark, introduces her:
"I apologize for Mike, she's an arrogant, foul mouthed, egotistical, childish, spiteful. obnoxious, megalomaniac with delusions of adequacy."
Maybe she could do with some self-improvement.
Join Mike, Mark and Sally and their friends in this fun and entertaining adventure as they discover that sometimes, things don't happen quite as easily as they think they should.
First Of The First follows directly on from the first book in the series, Unwilling From Earth, where many of the characters were introduced, along with much of the technology.
Review from Dr Susan :
The continued adventures of Mark and his fascinating alien friends are great sci fi with a quirky British flare. Mike is hilarious; Mark and Mike together are a riot. I look forward to reading book 3.
Genre: Science Fiction
