When it comes to bounty hunters, Zyra Zanr is the baddest of the baddest. But she's got big trouble and needs some quick money to get her enemies off of her back. Enter Boris Skringler, Public Enemy #1 (and her ex-lover). Skringler is worth a ton of money to the right people. Unfortunately, he's being held prisoner by a powerful queen who has no intentions of releasing him. Zyra's going to have to break a few rules (and some heads) if she's going to get Skringler. Busting the most dangerous man alive out of a heavily guarded prison isn't the worst of her troubles. Doing so without falling into his trap is going to take a lot more effort.
Join the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter on her desperate mission in ROGUE HUNTER INQUEST and prepare for an epic space adventure.

Rogue Hunter Inquest eBook Kevis Hendrickson
As reviewed on Indie Books R Us:I snaked this book out from the other girls when it came in because I’ve been longing for a good sci-fi story. Sci-fi generally tends to fall into either the hard sci-fi, which also tend to be longer and slower, and space opera, which is almost always tends to be action adventure. Pew pew lasers!
I’m happy to say that Rogue Hunter Inquest falls into the latter. I love a good, deep book, but it’s been a sunny spring in Australia, and I don’t feel like anything too heavy. I just want a good story – and that is exactly what Inquest gives.
We follow bounty hunter Zyra Zanr on a planet that’s ruled by women and for women only (New Venus, if you’re curious). Any man who steps foot on it will die, without exception. And Zyra, who’s in love with a citizen on the planet, decides to risk a promised happy future with Mikaela because she’s wanted off planet, and no amount of hiding will save her from her debts. Granted, I felt like this was a little flimsy, mostly because I felt like there was a whole backstory here that could have helped me understand her train of thought better, I still could accept her reasoning.
The part I found hard to accept was the rest of her reasoning about why she was saving an all-around scumbag from death. It initially felt like she didn’t have a really logical reason, but as the situation unravelled, I felt it was better explained. I think a bit more headspace with Zyra would’ve cleared this up sooner. Part of this might also be because this is a reboot of a previous series. As a new reader, I don’t have an understanding of this world at all, and just a teensy bit more in terms of headspace would’ve given me a well-rounded story.
Still, this story promises one heady conflict, and it delivers. No one is in a position to fully trust anyone else, and the execution is just an excuse to force to hand of – well, I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s say there’s a lot of subversive ploys. With a healthy dose of pew pew, my favourite type of sci-fi.
If you want a quick, fun read, I highly recommend this. The on-going series promises to be fun.

Rogue Hunter Inquest eBook Kevis Hendrickson Reviews
Inquest is the first book in Kevis Hendrickson’s “Rogue Hunter” series, a space opera of sorts that focuses on the adventures of Zyra Zanr. Much like Samus Aran from the “Metroid” game series, Zyra is a beautiful, blonde, take-no-prisoners badass bounty hunter…except in this instance, when she actually needs to take a prisoner.
Boris Skringler is on the run from the InterGalactic Alliance, one of the superpower empires that inhabits the book’s galaxy, and he is held personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds. A ruthless bounty hunter in his time, Skringler is an unrepentant misogynist and ex-lover of Zyra Zanr, and he claims to have taught her everything she knows. Hoping to hide from the Alliance, Skringler disguises himself as a woman on the officially neutral planet of New Venus, a ruse which proves ineffective and lands him in jail. His crime? Being a man on a planet from which males have been banished.
Zanr’s motivations are only briefly explained she has some bad guys after her for money, though why exactly is never made clear, likely to be held in reserve for future stories. As for Skringler’s reasons for going to New Venus, those are confused as well; it doesn’t make much sense for a man to seek refuge under a tenuous disguise on a planet that persecutes men on sight.
The first few chapters occur out of chronological sequence, setting up the fact that Zyra is on trial for something and then going back in time to explain what happened before returning to the present action. It worked fine, though a more conventional approach would have been just as compelling and perhaps less confusing. The trial is also kind of repetitive, with Queen Karah Taresh coming off as purposefully ignorant and frustrating. The queen is using her prisoners as bargaining chips to protect her planet from the Alliance, and these political maneuvers only increase in depth as her point of view develops.
Zyra also carries on a relationship with a woman on New Venus, Mikaela Darr, who acts as a source of support throughout the book. There is some kissing and petting early in the story, but the hottest action occurs off-screen, and the focus of the narrative soon shifts to the actual retrieval of Skringler from his cell and the repercussions of that mission.
The plot is solid overall and provides a story that will appeal to sci-fi fans who enjoy a little politics blended in with their action. The author sometimes gets caught up in describing the fight sequences, though, which can actually work to slow down the flow of the scene. There were times when I felt a couple of sentences could have summed up large paragraphs of choreography.
Some of the best scenes in the book come from the dialogue that takes place between Zanr and Skringler. As former lovers and bounty hunting partners, these two are full of sexual tension and resentment for one another. Their relationship feels the most organic, and no character comes alive quite like Skringler at his cruelest. He is as heartless as he is ruthless, and the brutality with which he handles every situation is sobering.
A few of the characters felt superfluous, namely the officers in charge of battle aboard the space ships in orbit over New Venus. While the space battle was useful for understanding some of the political motivations behind the imprisonment of Zanr and Skringler, it was confusing at times to understand exactly who was winning the battle. Each time a POV was visited aboard one of the ships, it seemed like the tide of battle had turned. After this happened the second time, I decided to stop choosing sides and just wait until the end to see who emerged victorious.
That being said, I really enjoyed this book. While we are given more character background than development, this is not uncommon for the debut novel of a series. I didn’t care much for Mikaela as a character, but I am interested in seeing how the war unfolds between the Alliance and the Legion of Worlds. Zyra Zanr’s character arc is far from over, and there is a lot of room for the series—and its author—to continue to grow.
4/5 stars.
