If Devi Morris charging onto The Glorious Fool in her armor — daring Captain Caldswell’s death-magnet missions and wisecracking through firefights — was your jam, you’ll click with Sirantha Jax in Grimspace. Jax is reckless, razor-tongued, and frighteningly capable, hauling a dubious crew from one high-risk operation to the next while uncovering shadowy agendas. Like Devi, she grabs opportunity with both hands, makes gloriously bad decisions under fire, and keeps surviving through grit, skill, and sheer attitude.

Remember how every job Devi took spiraled — from routine security to nightmare boardings and impossible standoffs — as the secrets around Rupert and Caldswell’s crew stacked up? Velocity Weapon hits that same throttle. Sanda Greeve wakes up in a war’s wreckage on a lone smartship and gets hurled into twist-on-twist revelations and set pieces that escalate like Devi’s worst days on The Glorious Fool. It’s the same breathless momentum, with cunning gambits, daring escapes, and consequences that just keep growing.

If Devi’s chemistry with the not-just-a-cook Rupert hooked you — all that heat, danger, and hidden-identity baggage — Polaris Rising delivers. Ada von Hasenberg is a lethal, resourceful operative who falls into an uneasy alliance (and crackling attraction) with the notorious Marcus Loch. Like Devi and Rupert, their partnership blends banter, trust issues, and high-stakes missions as buried truths explode at the worst possible moments.

Devi signs onto Caldswell’s cursed ship because it’s her fastest shot at the Paradoxian Devastators — she’s all about proving herself through impossible missions. Honor Harrington’s first outing scratches that same itch: exiled to a backwater post, she grinds through political sabotage and tactical nightmares to earn her place. If you loved watching Devi fight for advancement with Lady Gray on her back and everything to prove, Honor’s campaign on Basilisk will hit home.

On The Glorious Fool, Devi keeps tripping over inexplicable incidents and classified agendas tied to Caldswell and Rupert — a mystery that turns firefights into revelations. Leviathan Wakes channels that same vibe: Holden’s crew and Detective Miller chase a missing-woman case that starts in cramped corridors and ends up exposing a terrifying, alien-scale secret. If you liked piecing together what was really happening behind your captain’s orders, this investigation will scratch that itch hard.
