My name is John Bowers, from California. I’m a computer programmer by trade (35 years), but a born novelist by birth. I’ve written dozens of books in my lifetime and now it’s time to share some of them with you.
The Fighter Queen saga
The following novels deal with an intergalactic war several hundred years in the future. But it isn’t standard “scifi” fare — these stories are about real people. No monsters, no gadgets, just real humans caught up in a cosmic tragedy. Lots of battle action, lots of drama.

I enjoyed your article “The Trouble With Science Fiction” and agree. Passed it on to my friends, fans & followers on facebook and twitter so they can read it.
I’ve added you to my reading wish list. Still working on entering the art world so I can earn money to rebuild my life so that I can someday afford things like books again. Star Marine! sounds interesting.
Thank you, Randall. I took a gander at your website and I’d say you should be earning real soon. You have real talent.
Star Marine! is the fourth book in a series. I do think you’ll like it, but while you’re waiting, you can start with the other three. Vow to Sophia is out now, and Fighter Queen will be out next week.

John, I have read The Fighter King and am currently in A Vow to Sophia. What sequence of your five novels do you recommend reading?
Thanks, Jim, for reading the series. I hope you are enjoying it.
Chronologically, the sequence is: Fighter King, Sword of Sophia, Vow to Sophia, Star Marine, Fighter Queen.
Personally, I recommend reading them in the order of publication: Fighter King, Vow to Sophia, Fighter Queen. Star Marine, Sword of Sophia. I think they would be more enjoyable in that order.
I hope you’ll let me know how you like the series, and feel free to write a review at the site where you purchased them.
