Narration As Books Games of Command
The universe isn’t what it used to be. With the new Alliance between the Triad and the United Coalition, Captain Tasha “Sass” Sebastian finds herself serving under her former nemesis, biocybe Admiral Branden Kel-Paten–and doing her best to hide a deadly past. But when an injured mercenary winds up in their ship’s sick bay–and in the hands of her best friend, Dr. Eden Fynn–Sass’s efforts may be wasted.Wanted rebel Jace Serafino has information that could expose all of Sass’s secrets, tear the fragile Alliance apart–and end Sass’s career if Kel-Paten discovers them. But the biocybe has something to hide as well, something once thought impossible for his kind to possess: feelings . . . for Sass. Soon it’s clear that their prisoner could bring down everything they once believed was worth dying for–and everything they now have to live for.

Games of Command by Linnea Sinclair is a fun space romp which was an entertaining read with many good parts and some that made me round down my initial 3.5 rating.The good - the space setting was interesting and I enjoyed Tasha's interactions with her best friend and CMO Eden. Their solid friendship felt real. I also liked their furtzel pets, which were more comic relief than anything else at first but actually turned out to be pretty awesome.The not so good - two major issues. My first issue isIve been on the hunt for a good sci-fi romance and this 10 year-old stand-alone from Linnea Sinclair absolutely hit the spot. Not every element was perfect, but it was sexy and angsty and hit all my happy buttons with a virgin cyborg hero that falls in love despite the restrictions of his programming.Tasha Sass Sebastian is a hotshot pilot with a unsavory past she is trying to leave behind. Her latest assignment puts her under the command of Admiral Branden Kel-Paten, her long-time sparring
This was my first book by Linnea Sinclair, and I'm hunting all the rest down now. It was delicious. I'm pretty sure a whole lot of that deliciousness comes from my adoration of Branden Kel-Paten, since there were some things that bugged me. But days later I'm still completely psyched over the book, so I think the characters overcame the story hurdles.Kel-Paten is a biocybe (I think the only one) and a famous Triad Admiral. Because of his cyborg programmation he's not allowed to feel emotion -

I decided to follow up my first Linnea Sinclair book ( Gabriel's Ghost) with Games of Command and I am so glad I did. What a fun, fun book this is. I inhaled it over the weekend and wished there was a sequel lying around somewhere when I was done. Games of Command follows main characters Captain Tasha Sebastian and Admiral Branden Kel-Paten as well as secondary characters Dr. Eden Fynn and Captain Jace Serafino. As in Gabriel's Ghost, the two main characters have a history from the get-go and
The romance between the two main characters is a slow burner. It slowly starts to build into friendship but just as it's going somewhere the focus of the story shifts. Tasha suddenly and for no reason I could see goes from feeling like she is sort of, almost friends with Kel-Patel to being head over heels in love with him. The rest of the book is about the evil faction and their fight against them. Unfortunately this side of the story just isn't done well enough to carry the book. The 'bad guys'
2.5 A solid read for those who enjoy space adventure without the science of hard SF, or SF's typical exploration of intriguing intellectual "what ifs." When the Triad and the United Coalition sign a treaty, UCee commander Tasha Sebastian finds herself second in command to Triad biocyborg Admiral Branden Kel-Paten. Kel-Paten has been nursing a crush on wily enemy Sass for years, and the new alliance's officer exchange program has finally given him the chance to spend time with her in person. But
What an amazing ride!!! At 525 pages, Games of Command isn't a short and sweet read. Plus, one has to contend with all the information about alien races, sci-fi terminology, politics and alliances flying left,right and center. The time spent is so well worth it; I was completely hooked onto this space adventure and the pages just flew by. The pace and tone of this story was just spot on. Although the real action takes off at the start, the characters' backgrounds are much more intertwined. I
