The author who introduced us to Drewcilia Qwah in Queen of Denial, now presents us RJ, an in-your-face rebel leader, in Chains of Freedom, the first title of the Chains trilogy. RJ, like Drew, is a strong heroine and leader, but unlike Drew, knows how to get her point across without colorful language. She is a woman of few words; her style of communication involves the use of a chain and blaster. When political prisoner David Grant ran from the forced labor camp where he'd been imprisoned, his only thought was of escape. However fate turns its hand, and as he runs blindly through the forest he literally runs into the one person who can help him in his fight against the all-powerful Reliance. RJ is the rebel Elite who's been raiding supply trains and sabotaging Reliance facilities so successfully that even the work-units know her name. With David's innocent enthusiasm and desire for justice and RJ's knowledge of weapons and warfare they begin to chip away at the Reliance armor. This is a fast-paced, character-based, science fiction adventure with real heroes, villains, and events that develop in believable and exciting directions. With introduction by C. J. Cherryh on why you should be reading Selina Rosen!

In Chains of Destruction, the sequel to 2001's Chains of Three years have passed. The New Alliance has successfully kept the Reliance out of zone 2-A and has set up a new government. After a few initial problems, the new country is running like a well-oiled machine. Jessica Kirk fell from grace in the Reliance's eyes and jumped planet, successfully disappearing without a trace. With no hope of settling her score with Kirk and no battles to fight, RJ becomes restless. She is a genetically engineered humanoid created and trained for war, with nothing to keep her mind occupied but her grief and uncertainty about her real place in the universe. To ease the pain in her heart and the confusion in her mind, RJ decides to go on a quest to the planet of her maternal origin, the planet Argy, in the hope of enlisting the Argy's help in further campaigns against the Reliance. She hopes to go alone except for her robotic brother Poley but soon finds that Topaz, David and Levites will not be left behind. As they are hijacking a Reliance ship they uncover a Reliance conspiracy and soon find themselves charting a course for an obscure, mostly inhospitable planet called Beta 4. The conflicts they must face will either be their redemption or their undoing.
