Blurb: Sequel to The Sarran Plague
Syn Sinclair is one of the women taken from Earth to Sarran to replenish the fem population. While still en route on the Brightstar, Syn meets the Sarran Elder, TeZaron and thinks he looks down on her because of her checkered past. Upon landing, Nafer, TeZaron and TeBron’s offspring, recognizes Syn as his “Mommie,” something the Elders didn’t realize because of the mind blocks they had placed on each other to ensure the success of the mission to Earth.
Syn, a former prostitute and drug addict, left home at sixteen because she was sexually abused by her father and his friends. She made it out of the gutter and into the halls of higher education, getting her Masters in Psychology with a specialization in PTSD. Now she’s afraid her Warrior Pair won’t accept her because of her past. As soon as they bring her to their home, she works to gain their respect.
Supported by her Warrior Pair and their son Nafer, Syn settles into her new household with grace and energy. She is happy, very happy, except for one niggling doubt. Although she knows her Warriors have accepted her, she worries how others will view her new social position on Sarran. In particular, a fem from Syn’s past lets everyone know she’s unfit to BondStir with the High Lords. Madeline Dixon-Howard sees Syn as a blight on the new society.
Additionally, an even deeper evil is hiding in the Sarran government. Someone has sold information to the roach-like Zyptz, someone who planted a bomb and listening devices in the homes. Someone doesn’t want Earth women to mix into the Sarran gene pool. Syn’s insights as a psychologist combined with her new Psy powers just might help her Warriors find out who the traitors are and devise a plan to capture them.

Review: Syn is on a battle star being delivered to the Sarran world where all the Fems (I’m guessing females) and Femspring (I’m guessing female children) have been destroyed by a plague. The people live n triads… two bonded males (Warrior pairs) and a female to have their children. The fem of the triads are worshipped. The planet will die out with all the fems dead so the earth women had been carefully chosen and brought to the planet with all their worldly possessions. Syn and Anya have cats and it turns out cats also are rather worshipped. They have a special way of mind communicating on Sarran and can locate listening devices, bombs etc and kill rodents.
Syn is immediately bonded with two of the council members and elders and their 6-year-old son, which I felt the cats and the boy made the story. They were adorable!
. First of all, this is a sequel and I suggest you read book one The Sarran Plague first. I didn’t. I wish I had. I could follow the book pretty good, there is pretty decent back story dropping and later in the book there is a part where it’s pretty much all explained.
This is a MMF story so there are some girly bits, though it’s not very explicit and the sex is sensuous and tastefully done, in my opinion. I also liked that all the sexual attention wasn’t just on the female, it was well-balanced. My biggest issue was the language. There was a sort of language of the Sarran’s and I had difficulty figuring out what some of the words were. In my opinion, it didn’t really need this, because the world was pretty well done and you had a good feel they were on another planet. I at least wish there had been a dictionary put in the front with the special language words.
If you like a sci-fi story with lots of intriguing characters, cute kids, cats, fabricators (I wish I had one) different worlds, warriors, MMF bonds, and some very sensual sex this is for you.
