After crashing on Earth, BeHan Algaeca Cadfan du Lukka, a warrior from another universe, hides in the home of John Wheeler to recover from her injuries. He only knows she is a beautiful young woman who identifies herself as a Finn, and the adventure begins! It's a story of love, horror, romance, war, friendship, vengeance, and the places we find family. She captains Surma, an intelligent warship of the Awblaster Class, bigger than two aircraft carriers side by side, and with an even bigger personality. Both BeHan and Surma experience unprecedented freedom for the first time. Surma seeks to free itself from humanity and to understand its place in the universe. BeHan struggles with grief and reverts to her ultra-violent Aqari ways as Wheeler comes to love her. It's an epic tale of science fiction and romance, so it has to have a happy ending...well...it's not strictly a romance novel, so the ending does haven't to conform precisely to that genre, then again I think the novel, Misery by Stephen King, serves as an excellent reminder of what could happen to an author if they anger their readership. Anyway, it's a great story.
