The Paradox trilogy was Rachel Aaron’s move into science fiction, published under her pen name Rachel Bach. Fortune’s Pawn (2013) introduces Devi Morris, an armored mercenary who signs on to the most dangerous ship in the fleet to advance her career.

Honor’s Knight and Heaven’s Queen followed in 2014 and expanded the story into a larger conspiracy. The series blends military sci-fi with romance elements, and it remains one of Aaron’s most popular works outside of her fantasy catalog.
