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.
