Summary:
THE BLUTHEN HAVE ONE CONSUMING PASSION: THEMSELVES.
IN THEIR EXPANSION ACROSS THE GALAXY, THEY WILL GO TO ANY LENGTHS
TO DOMINATE SPECIES THEY ENCOUNTER.
Torn from modern day Earth and stranded on the far side of the
Galaxy, Sandrea Fairbairn must use every particle of courage she possesses to
adjust to her new life and live for tomorrow.
Eugen Mhartak, a general in the Tri-Race Alliance Army, refuses to
bow to the merciless Bluthen. Haunted by the loss of far too many innocent
lives he has vowed to drive the ruthless invaders from Alliance space.
The strength and valor of Eugen Mhartak attracts Sandrea as no man
ever has, but she struggles to read the enigmatic general’s heart. Determined
to help him triumph over the Bluthen she uncovers a diabolical plot against the
Alliance.
Drawn by the courage and exotic beauty of Sandrea, Mhartak battles
to overcome the barriers of cross-cultural differences that separate them and
claim her ardent interest. He must conquer his deepest fears to be the man she
needs. When his principles are betrayed by his own government and he is faced
with the impossible prospect of taking Sandrea’s life in order to save his home
planet, Mhartak desperately searches for a way to keep safe both his world and
the magnificent woman who has stolen his heart.
Excerpt:
Sandrea blinked and focused on Kendril’s worried
face. Her friend knelt beside her, eyes filled with concern.
Cramps struck Sandrea’s legs, urging her to unwind
from a tight huddle. Beneath her vest and over-shirt, Dexter’s warm body hugged
her ribs. “What happened?” she asked.
Kendril gazed at her with steady consideration then
eased her grip on her upper arms. “Did he kill your dog, too?”
What? “No.”
“Well you ‘happened’ to him as you did the Bluthen
who killed your dog.”
“I did?”
“You did.”
“Did they rape you?” Kendril asked quietly.
Sandrea shook her head. “No. Violate, yes.” She
hauled in a deep, shaky breath, gathered herself, and rose. “Where is he?”
Kendril pointed with a jerk of her chin. “Over
there—mostly.”
Sandrea moved to the cliff edge and peered down.
Early afternoon sunlight revealed a sheer tumble of boulders in shades of grey
with a gruesome embellishment of stark, dark-red gore.
After a few moments of silent observation, she
pursed her lips in contemplation.
“He is all over here, Kendril.”
“Well, technically, I suppose, yes,” Kendril
admitted, coming to her side. “It’s just that he’s spread out over a few square
meters. Sandrea?”
“Mmm?”
“Is that little lizard one of those things we’re
not telling the General about?”
About the author:
Born
in the far north of Australia, yearly cyclones, floods and being cut off from
civilization for weeks at a time were the norm. An outrageous imagination
helped occupy Sandra’s mind.
An
abiding interest in astronomy and a deep-seated need to always see the good
guys win naturally influences her writing. Not satisfied with the amount of
romance in science fiction novels she set out to redress the balance.
She
currently lives in sunny South East Queensland, Australia, with her husband and
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who doesn’t seem to realize she comes from
royalty and should act in a more appropriate manner.
