For centuries, the galaxy has worshipped Gillie as a goddess.
The truth is far less divine. Gillie is actually a highly skilled starship captain whose consciousness became fused with an immensely powerful artificial intelligence. Through a combination of advanced technology, misunderstanding, and legend, entire civilizations have come to regard her as a supernatural being.
When a military officer named Mack Logan discovers the truth behind the myth, both are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy involving political intrigue, religious fanaticism, and forces that would exploit Gillie’s extraordinary abilities. As enemies close in, Gillie must decide whether she is merely a woman with incredible power—or something far greater.
Combining space battles, romance, humor, and adventure, An Accidental Goddess delivers a fast-paced blend of military science fiction and character-driven storytelling.
EugeneBookstore Summary
An Accidental Goddess helped establish Linnea Sinclair as one of the leading voices in science fiction romance. The novel successfully combines the excitement of military space opera with a compelling romance and a strong, capable heroine.
Readers who enjoy Lois McMaster Bujold, Catherine Asaro, or Ann Aguirre often find Sinclair’s work especially appealing. The story balances action, technology, humor, and emotional depth while exploring how myths and legends can grow from misunderstood technology.
Collector Notes
This is the first novel in Sinclair’s Dock Five Universe setting and remains one of her best-known works. The book is particularly sought after by fans of science fiction romance, a genre that blends traditional space opera with relationship-focused storytelling.
While not especially rare, early Bantam Spectra editions remain popular among collectors of women-authored science fiction and fans of the science fiction romance movement that gained popularity during the early 2000s.
