This is all sandrine 's fault.
Ok.
So what book have I read that features:
- A band of travellers/warriors/companions.
- Planets or at least territories that are very far apart.
- The companions may have been 'thrown together' or are at least an unlikely group.
- One member of the party is from a race/species/planet that is infamous for always being conquered, maybe something 'bad' always happens to the conquerors allowing for a new set to come along. The race/species/planet never make any attempt to fight back, and are always content to live/work with their new leaders - it's almost like they roll out a red carpet every time someone comes along to take over their planet.
- At one point in the book, where bravery is needed, the person from the 'surrender planet/territory' comes up with a suggestion, and one of the other characters (I want to say it's a girl) says something like "What would you know about it/bravery, you're just sitting there waiting to be conquered again", at which point the leader gives them/her a mini-lecture about how it takes "great bravery to accept that you cannot beat your enemy and to choose to work/live amongst them".
- There is something in the back of my head that is making me think of gully dwarves in the DragonLance books, and something else that is trying to convince me that it is a Dr Who fanfic (of which I maybe read about 3 of a year so I'm not convince!).
Any help would be VERY much appreciated as it is starting to drive me around the bend!
