"An exciting science fiction tale that will leave readers thirsting for more"
Due to their blundering warrior-scientific heritage, the
Rysalians must steal females from other planets after
accidentally eradicating their own women. Prime meat comes
from places like Terra. However, these independent females
refuse to simply turn into "loyal" subjects or sex fodder
for the Reapers, another Rysalian warrior-scientific
species experiment. The earthlings secretly head up the
Resistance. The lords sitting on the Bench of the Court of
Military Justice declare Captain Kamerone Cree guilty,
shocking all reapers since their word is usually law.
Cree, the highest ranked and recognized most deadly of
reapers, is sentenced to active reinforcement at the
Ministry of Behavioral Modification. Kamerone knows the
resistance is involved and thirsts for
vengeance. The resistance "controls" key Ministry of Behavioral
Modification positions. They plan to insure that Kamerone
falls in love with a Terran to win him to their side as the
beginning of a more powerful opposition. They already have
programmed Dr. Bridget Dunne to fall in love with Kamerone. BLOOD WIND, the first novel in the "Wind Demon" trilogy, is
an exciting science fiction tale that uses romance and
vampire elements to enhance a strong plot. The story line
never slows down as readers observe an advanced
technological society using its science to control and
change people. Cree has many vampire traits, but love is
not supposed to be in his genetic make-up. Does he love
Bridget, an intrepid heroine who turns his bark into more
than his bite, because of science or his heart? Charlotte
Boyett-Compro has written a fabulous novel that will leave
readers thirsting for books two and three. Harriet Klausner / March, 2001
