Lars Dax is one of the
winged Corridian desperately in
search of his missing sister, Elenii. On the trail of her Rigellian
abductors,
he discovers an alluring beauty in a seedy dive on a backwater world
that
convinces him that she can help him. There's just something about Mira
that
makes Lars want to trust her.
But Mira's more than she
seems, a Solaran agent on a mission
to infiltrate the remote palatial fortress of Rigellian warlord
Dantilus Muss
on Velos. Mira's got more than a trick up her sleeve, because she can
read
minds—but only when her lover is in the throes of pleasure.
She's figured out how to
have herself sold into Muss's harem
as a sex slave, but she needs to find a way there that's not traceable
back to
the Solaran Federation. Lars Dax has what she needs: the fastest
starship
around. He fits Mira's needs perfectly and she's more than wiling to
pay his
price, but will she be able to forsake her winged lover to complete her
mission?
Mr. Boiseman has created
a world of breathtaking adventure,
passion and intrigue that draws one in and doesn't let go. The story is
layered
with anticipation and characters whose motivations may seem across
purposes yet
are not so different from one another.
This reviewer was
thoroughly engrossed in a tale that reads
like a space opera, a spy novel and a very hot love story. The opening
salvo to
this series verily sizzles and promises to keep one turning pages and
eagerly
anticipating the next installment—one simply can't wait to find out
what'll
happen next!
