What
was once the Northwest United States – 3033
Earth
is once more a paradise but the population has dwindled. Freedom
fighters, sentient beings from other worlds, are welcome to come and
find mates with the idea of repopulation.
Falon
March, an architect, has had time to design and build a home for
herself and her intended mate, Zane Orros, who is from Dacor. Weary
of fighting, he gladly agreed to the terms of his immigration and
citizenship. The two have communicated with each other several
times during the more than five years his journey has taken him to
reach Earth. Neither is prepared for the instant attraction they
feel.
Falon
is beautiful beyond Zane’s dreams. Zane, who is gray all over and
vaguely resembles a gargoyle, is handsome like some ancient god.
Except for his skin tone and wings, he is like any man. Falon and
Zane are more than physically compatible…they share an intelligent
curiosity about most things and a wonderment for life. Of course
there are some physical and cultural differences, and newlyweds,
especially those who have just met in person, don’t always know
everything to share.
Vasty
Small, who has a four year old daughter with her alien mate, Danor,
has just discovered that he has a shapeshifting ability that makes
her sick, so she leaves him and their little girl. Because of this,
Zane is hesitant to tell Falon everything about his own past.
Zane’s
best friend, Sephos is a physician and is married to human,
Constance Borden. Zane turns to them for advice when an unexpected
occurrence in his physicality leaves him near death and he is unsure
how to face Falon with the information. But missed communications
and
Misunderstanding what she sees has Falon turning on Zane and he goes
to live in the city after taking a job with Earth Defence Corp at
the urging of Captain Meager Prospect.
Then
disaster comes in the form of the enemies Zane, Sephos, and Danor
fought against so show up and threaten Earth. Will Earth Defence be
able to save the perfect world that has survived so much turmoil in
its turbulent past? Will Falon and Zane get back the love and care
they once had?
General
Obrigar Trent and Falon’s sister, Selene, a reporter, play important
parts in this tale of impending disaster that may end up with life
in ruins. The love between Zane and Falon is hot, hot, hot with
interludes of sweetness. I love this pairing and all the hope that
comes with that love. C. S. Chatterly has penned an imaginative,
adrenalin pumping adventure with alacrity and care. I am giving it
a La Grande Mort.
