I want more?now.

I picked up this book in an electronic format because I needed something to read immediately. I was going to be stuck in a horrible conference for the whole day and I needed something I could load on my laptop. I didn't pay too much attention to what it was (thank goodness) or I would have never picked it up. Boy was I surprised! It was not what I expected at all...when I finally read the whole description of the book I was afraid I had picked up one of those flimsy excuses for a novel that is totally designed to take a reader from one torrid scene to another. However, what I found instead was an interesting universe peopled with 3 dimensional and totally unique races and characters. Far from being a little distraction to get me through a boring conference I found myself devouring the silly thing that night when I got home......you should have seen the look on my husbands face when I brought my laptop to bed! Now I am no literary critic but I know what I like. Yes I wish some things had been more descriptive and I wish the author had given us a bit more background...but any book that sends me out immediately to look for the next book, is one I would recommend to my best friend. A sure fire "hurray for our side" story! Ignore the silly title and try it...you'll be as captivated as I was.

First Original Fiction from Great "Star Trek" Author Sizzles

Until now Susan Wright has written several "Star Trek" novels and anthology entries, all of them thoughtful and original takes that stayed true to the voices of the franchise's beloved characters. With "Slave Trade" Susan remains among the stars, but travels into all new territory-truly where no "Trek" novel has ever gone. Casually racy, off-handedly lurid, and eyebrow-raising in its pansexuality, "Slave Trade" is the start of a weird and bizarre, but certainly fully realized science fiction odyssey. Critics of the novel are missing its subtle but always sly commentaries on our society's freedom (or lack there of) of sexual expression. Slavery to the sexual status quo, Susan seems to be saying, is merely a state of mind that can only lead to self-destruction. Rose Rico, heroine of the "Slave Trade" trilogy, is a young woman who is on a kinky journey of enlightenment that will (hopefully!) ultimately alter that status quo. My guess is that this wild trilogy will only get better and better.
