This was an action packed 15 minute short story introducing Hera and her friend Sacmis and their world.  It is a precursor to the story Rex Rising, which I haven't read, but now want to.Hera at 16 has just been just been given her first command ship and quickly finds that the elite class she belongs to has lied about their history and their role in managing the humans.  She is supposed to kill any humans she finds on the seas, but instead finds herself helping them and questioning her superiors.  When she sneaks into a human settlement and discovers what her people are doing to the humans, she knows she must find out more about the resistance - especially since she thinks her biological mother is a part of it.If you likedThe Overtaking (The Overtaking Series)by Victorine E. Lieske, than you will like this story also.  This story has a strong female lead that is brave and intelligent.  The story does have profanity, so might not be suitable for all ages.  It captured my attention enough to want to read book one of the Elei's Chronicles called Rex Rising.Would I/Did I buy it? Free DownloadWould I read it again? YesWould I recommend it to friends? Yes
