Hive & Heist (The Hive Queen Saga) (Volume 2) Janine A. Southard

A space station caper! Here?s the sequel to the award-winning Queen & Commander.

Is it really stealing when you take back what?s yours?

Exhausted and broke, Rhiannon?s Hive limps into John Wayne Station on the Ceridwen?s Cauldron. Safe at last, this stop-over is looking bright until the authorities steal their ship?s engine. The only solution: steal it back!

Between stage-handing a play (at the local brothel) and avoiding their law-enforcement roommate (a sentient robot), they grow into a real team. A real Dyfed-style Hive.

The law enforcement robot, meanwhile, is busy detecting a series of thefts and murders. She?s determined to use all her skills?programmed both before and after she clawed her way to sentience?to protect anyone else from getting hurt. Agents from a rival law enforcement group, however, bump into her investigation and create problems that she could really do without. She has a job to do, even if they?re determined to get in her way.

Hive & Heist has action, druidry, and a sentient robot. Oh, and some sheep.
