"Will Cree be able to reclaim the woman he loves?"
Imagine a world in space with no women. That is except
the
ones that they steal from other worlds. Rysalia is a world
where the men years past had made terrible mistakes. These
mistakes killed the women of their planet. The men in
their search for the perfect war weapon created a
retrovirus that they thought would sterilize the women of
other planets, but the gas tanks exploded and ended up
killing all the women in their own empire instead. So
for
this reason they are stealing women from earth and other
planets. They enslave them and either give them jobs or
make them physical release vessels for their reapers.
Although some are allowed to join that is very limited, and
reapers are forbidden to join. Kamerone Cree is a
reaper. A reaper is another one of the genetic experiments the men
had done to create a breed of loyal fighting
men/creatures. These creatures were the top most
fighting
machines the Rysalian Prime had.Very hard to beat,
loyal
due to programming from time of birth and feared by all
others. Kamerone Cree is not only a top ranking reaper,
but he is also the most respected and feared. For this reason the resistance has set their eyes on Cree
as their salvation.Some of the women that were stolen
from Earth or Terra as the Rysalians call it, as well as
women from other planets have banded together to try and
overcome the men and gain their freedom. Although there
is
another group called The Sisters Of The Multitude that have
even more sinister plans for the men. The resistance goes about destroying everything Cree holds
dear in order to win him over to their side. They then
set
him up to fall in love with a human female. The female
is
part of the resistance and they not only program him to
fall for her, but they have her programmed to fall for
him. Problem is will all of this turn out they way the
resistance wants? Or did they let Cree lose his rank,
his
job, be tortured and lose the woman he has fallen in love
with for nothing? Will Cree be able to reclaim the woman
he loves? Or will the Multitude succeed with the revenge
they have planned for the males of Rysalia? How do the
reapers tie in to the vampire legends of earth? All I
can
say is that I enjoyed finding out the answers to all these
questions, but than I have not read a book of Charlotte
Boyett-Compo's that I did not enjoy. With some of the
vampire like qualities the reapers have it would also be a
nice addition to a vampire collection also. Dominique / July, 1999
