Review: Drake Glauco has everything he could ever want a great home, job, and a loving husband. Until one day after arriving home from work, he finds his husband in the arms of another man.

Drake is so furious he storms out angry. He feels a sting in his neck as he turns and is confronted by Boldiens, a green-skinned, amphibious, and frog-like race native to Boldien’s world, and then he falls unconscious. Drake wakes up naked and cold in what appears to be a solid steel room with no way out. When the Boldiens that kidnapped and drugged him enter the room, they tell him he is no longer of use to them anymore and that he has seen them before now.

He wakes up a second time in a much warmer place and realizes he is with the Priaxians, spider-like aliens. What he learns from Vernon is that the Nourishers are dying from a disease they cannot cure. Humans are the next compatible match. To keep their race from dying out and asks Drake to be his nourisher. He agrees after meeting the queen and getting permission to travel to earth to confront his husband.

Along the journey to earth, Vernon and Drake are chased by Boldiens and kidnapped by Aurorans. Drake learns of the reason why he was kidnapped in the first place and of the Aurorans plans to take over the galaxy. So much happens in this amazing book. From finding out that Drake husband Jankin was sent to him to entice him by the Aurorans, a wasp like civilization, in the hopes of reopening the trade to other beings. Along the way, Drake and Vernon fall in love and have passionate sex.

Very fascinating and intriguing story with nonstop action, suspense, and intrigue. I was speechless by the details of the different worlds, planets, and the different beings, as the story unfolded. I have never read a story quite like this one before and was greatly impressed by it.

I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Anyone who is a science fiction fan should read this wonderfully written book.

Blurb: Drake Glauco, now a successful nourisher and happily joined to Vernon, comes to realize it’s time for a Priaxian/human alliance to come to fruition. The joy he has experienced too great for it to not be used to benefit all mankind. The mutual need too important. With each passing day, Drake and Vernon’s symbiotic relationship grows just as much as the hatchlings inside the egg the Priaxian carries as the hope for his species.

But trouble stirs in the dark places of the galaxy. A once sleeping giant, an enigmatic race known as the Herdsmen, stirs. Their awakening brought about by many events, including trespassing into their territory. The result of them becoming known is devastating for all the sentient species, especially for humans. The Herdsmen have developed a taste for mankind’s flesh.

Can Drake and Vernon negotiate an agreement with the Herdsmen before it’s too late? Offer some alternative to the slaughter that will result if they enter human space. Or will their plans to dominate the galaxy obliterate all in their path, including their allies?

All hope once more falls on Drake…and a mysterious Priaxian soldier who communicates to him in his dreams.

Review: This book continues where the first one ended. Drake is having disturbing dreams of a Priaxian soldier screaming out for help in a desert. Vernon, his lover also has them. The Priaxian queen sends Drake, Vernon, Jankin, Tasmeen, two Priaxian soldiers, Sern and Ryder and a servant named Braken, on a mission to earth to finalize the alliance between spiders and mammalian.

Along the way, they encounter two new enemies the priory’s, Priaxian servants who are rebelling, and the Herdsmen, an alien being who feeds on humans. We also learn the identity of the mysterious Priaxian soldier, Mara, who has been a prisoner of the Herdsmen due to being tricked by his lover and founder of the Priory’s Forgen. Mara had destroyed all Forgen’s work on how to be genetically changed to become nourishers and hid the information inside Ranjay, Jankin and Tasmeen’s son. Everyone soon learns how deadly the herdsmen can be.

Wonderfully written book that has drama, action, suspense, intrigue, and mystery all throughout. The intimate scenes between Drake and Vernon were hot. I loved how the story unfolded and the amazing details of alien species as well as the battles that took place. The story holds your attention from start to finish and leaves you wanting more. Excellent read. Science fiction fans should definitely read this story.

Blurb: Drake Glauco and Vernon are about to embark on their biggest adventure yet. They must get the information they need to help complete a new super weapon, a Solar Sound Tunnel, and fast. A weapon that will hopefully tip the balance of power to their side, able to destroy the awesome and impenetrable Citadels of Justice without risking too many more lives.

Unfortunately, four years have passed, and the war against the Herdsmen is not going well. What’s more, Priaxia has been destroyed…completely and utterly. The once great empire of the spiders now over. Humanity is their only hope. Something the Herdsmen know, stopping at nothing as they cast their gaze toward Earth and galaxy wide victory.

Against the backdrop of a war that seems lost by the alliance of spiders and mammals a new hope will rise, and from an unexpected source, too. Will Drake and Vernon be able to complete their latest mission to get the information they need for the weapon before the Herdsmen catch wind of their plans? Or will the hatchlings, now ready to be born, put things into a spin? It all becomes a race against time as the final chapter of the Borders of Worlds Saga comes to a close. Will humanity and Prixia endure? Or will the Herdsmen wipe out all in their path?

Review: With Prixia destroyed, Drake and Vernon along with the help of their allies set a dangerous plan in motion that will hopefully tip the balance of the war against the Herdsmen in their favor. They hope a weapon called Solar Sound Tunnel, will be able to destroy the Citadels of Justice. First, they must slip aboard a Citadel of Justice without detection.

After seeing another gateway almost finished, they set a plan in motion where some are captured so the others can slip aboard unnoticed. While on board the Citadel of Justice, they learn that Forgen has been gathering his forces for years in an attempt to commandeer a citadel and to help the spiders and mammals in the war. With the capture of a Citadel of Justice, they all get ready to battle the Herdsmen with the Solar Sound Tunnel in place. Vernon goes into labor during the final battle. Well written book. A lot of hot intimate scenes between Drake and Vernon as well as a threesome with Sern and a group scene with Jankin, Braken, Vern, Drake and Vernon.

Stunning details of the Citadel of Justice destroying ships and exactly what the Solar Sound Tunnel can do. Great read.
