Defiant Ruin: 3 (Asarlaí Wars)

The fight for the Commonwealth comes to an explosive conclusion! The good news is that Captain Vaslisha Tor Dain and most of her rag tag band of mercenaries managed to survive a devastating confrontation with the resurrected ancient enemy the Asarlaí. The bad news is that the WARRIOR WENCH has crash landed on a deserted planet in an unknown galaxy. Priority number one is getting off this dead rock and hopefully reuniting with the rest of their missing crew. Sadly easier said than done especially when a supposedly long ago destroyed ship called the DEFIANT shows up. Vas and the gang cant seem to catch a break for just as they are starting work on salvaging the DEFIANT Garmainian bounty hunters suddenly appear to claim a prize on Vass head. Now Vas is guilty of a lot of things but she honestly cant remember the crime she is accused of committing and as far as she knows hasnt ever been to Garmainian space. Disturbingly this crime apparently occurred during the mysterious missing weeks Vas experienced on her recent vacation. Vas and her second in command Devens to do list keeps getting longer: escape from the Garmainian hunters before they get executed; reunite their small banged up fleet and try to get back into Commonwealth space; find out if their frenemy Marli survived; and of course finally defeat the Asarlaí for good. Unfortunately during the six months Vas and company have been stranded the Asarlaí have been on the move....which means time and options are rapidly running out!
