New Sion
Pretending to be a man isn't easy. Finn Colville has pulled it off for years, but things get complicated when she falls for her new bounty hunting partner, Eamon Sullivan. On the planet New Sion, it's against the law for a woman to wear pants and carry a gun, much less shoot people for a living. What will happen if Eamon discovers her secret? On a backwater planet, at the edge of a galactic war, one man, one woman, and one desperate alien cross paths. Together they embark on the road trip of a lifetime, bound for revelation and redemption. Reviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers' Favorite New Sion by Diana Green is a well-crafted story with believable characters of many different alien races. It is easy to feel Finn's emotions as she loses her home and family, then as she attempts to hide her true identity and finally as she falls in love. Green creates a world with humor and depth that explores the notions of what it means to be free and how much people depend on themselves, others, and their place in the world. Enjoy a variety of emotions and outlooks as Finn follows her dreams and her heart in New Sion.

When I started reading New Sion I wasn't sure I was going to like it due mainly to the fact that there are four main characters and they are split into two different happenings far away from each other but as the story progressed I really warmed to the characters, especially Finn and Eamon.
Finn a woman pretending to be a man to get by but by doing that she is actually breaking all laws, meets Eamon a bounty hunter when she shoots a few men and she agrees to go with Eamon to take the bodies in and collect the bounties which are a pretty tidy sum.
Her identity is discovered by Eamon when she is shot but he does not mind.
Jor from Krell crash lands on New Sion with his Princess and shortly afterwards she is kidnapped by raiders, Jor makes it his duty to save the Princess from the raiders clutches and travels to find the secret Krell base. After travelling for a long time and not finding the base yet he meets Finn and Eamon and they work together to find the base and save the Princess.
There is romance, fantasy, science-fiction and so much more to this book. I am glad I continued with it, it was well written and an enjoyable read.
