"A rarity of rarities: a book that makes you laugh out loud. Selina Rosen's debut is very much worth reading. SF"s answer to Terry Pratchett."--C.J. Cherryh"Queen is funny and pointed. Ms. Rosen takes a Star-Trek-like plot, introducing the social ills of a world that could be our own, and attacks them with ruthless humor."--Jody Lynn Nye"Should appeal to anyone who loves a riotous, wickedly funny read."--Jane Fancher'"A rip-snorting space adventure the likes of which we don't see often enough these days "--Lawrence Watt-Evans
I loved this book. It was a fast read and really entertaining. I love the writing style and the bawdy humor. She writes the perfect female sci-fi female character. The story has a fresh twist and will keep you engrossed for hours. I cant wait to see what she does next!
The Queen of Garbage and a good laugh too:)

Drewcilia Qwah is the best salvager in the galaxy with a vocabulary that would make a hardened dock worker blush, and driking habits a fish would envy.When she is approached to return a a lost queen to her home planet (for a lot of money), she takes the job. But she doesn't know what she's getting into as things aren't what they seem.This novel is not big, but it's well written, funny and not padded out to excessive length. If you've ever seen the old tv show "quark" it brings back some memories of that in a strange way.If you like humour in your SF then this is a book worth picking up as it has some laugh out loud moments and it's an original and well told story.

This is a first class, fast-paced, funny, irreverent, well- written, science fiction novel that I recommend to you without reservation. Buy it.
A rollicking good time. Good for what ails you!

Absolute fun. A gritty, earthy comedy that made me laugh out loud. I loved it. I can't wait for the sequel. Please give us one soon. Rosen writes with a razor sharp wit. Her protagonists are smart, competent (and, dare I say it -- ethical) and refuse to put up with the idiots around them. I'd ship out with the "Queen" any day.
Wonderful fun!

QUEEN OF DENIAL is a blast! It's fun and funny. It was just the escape I needed after a tough day at work. I found myself laughing out loud--something I rarely do when reading. I can't wait for her next book.
