Zada of Xedes

Queen Zada was the Queen of the planet Xedes. Her mate, Mandor attempted to spring a coup against her, and he was killed in battle. Zada, missing him, traveled from planet to planet looking for a replacement. When she found John Grant, a Mandor lookalike, she believed he was her lover reincarnated. She insisted he return with her to rule Xedes, even threatening to kill John’s girlfriend. Grant managed to convince her that he was only interested in her power, not her love, and that she would be his slave. Zada left and returned to Xedes. Zada was a fearless warrior queen who carried a ray gun that could melt a car almost instantly. She seemed to be capable of appearing and disappearing at will, and being seen only by those she wished. She also seemed to be capable of broadcasting memories into a person’s mind.
