`A Vow to Sophia' is the second book in the Fighter Queen saga. It takes place approximately twenty years later, and like the first, it's jam packed with action.The story revolves around two main characters, Johnny Lincoln and Onja Pedersen.Johnny is an extremely talented test pilot who works for his father. When war breaks out he immediately enlists to become a fighter pilot in the United Federation Fighter Fleet. His natural born talent and his need to prove himself make him an instant ace.Onja Pedersen is a refugee from a war torn planet, ravaged by decades of occupation. At the age of twelve her father manages to smuggle his beloved daughter off world, in the hope of a better life. Onja vows to avenge her family, that vow becomes her reason to live.When Johnny and Onja join forces as pilot and gunner, they become all but unstoppable. Their reputation grows as time and time again they beat the odds. Through their trials of battle a love develops between them, each would die for the other. It's this connection that gives the story a great edge. You feel for the two as the war envelopes them and they are forced to make sacrifices that no one ever should.This book has it all, epic dog fights, bitter hatreds, great friendships and a love story that truly touches the heart.  I have already bought the next two in the series and if they're as good as the first two, then I won't be disappointed.
