Why This Must Be Read: A raiding party off-world takes only Miko and Lieutenant Grace Crown, leaving the men. The rescue plan means that Laura, Biro, and Teyla will be deliberately sold into slavery to get them back - Elizabeth has concerns, but Cadman reminds her that they leave no women behind, either. Then the back-up plan collapses, leaving them on their own. An excellent action/adventure story of women rescuing themselves, with Cadman, as leader, and Miko, the gene-holder, especially kicking ass (plus Teyla, but that goes without saying!) Great writing - an entertaining read that deserves to be far better known.
It ended up not being simple after all, because Miko bit her lip and said, "But we can't leave the other women."
Laura had not wanted to think too hard about that. There were two other groups of women that they had seen. A group of twenty-eight obviously pregnant women went out to exercise first, followed by a group of thirty-three not obviously pregnant women, and then their own group.
"It'll be a lot harder," Laura said.
"But not impossible," Teyla said.
"No, not impossible." The rational decision was to leave them behind, go with the easier, more reliable plan, and come back with reinforcements. Laura didn't feel rational.
"Fine. We're doing it the hard way."
