Generation Warriors – Sassinak has made a career out of fighting the pirates that destroyed her home.Waking up in a future she doesn't know, Lunzie must make a new life for herself, but disaster seems to follow her like a shadow.

When the ship transporting her to her duty station is struck by an asteroid, Lunzie finds herself in an escape pod.

But that was only the beginning for Sassinak. But Sassinak turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken.
