SFR Reading Challenge 2012 6/15
3.5*
Grade B/B-
I, for one, want to encourage writers to pen more science fiction romance novels. In the tradition of Linnea Sinclair, solid SF mixed with romance is an exciting and enjoyable genre. Isolation hits the mark well enough for me to recommend it to SFR fans, although it's not perfect.
The basic storyline is quite good and unique. The book is about an Earth mission to colonize a distant Saa'ar planet and the problems that ensue when someone's unknown agenda...more

This was the first story I ever wrote. I conceived the idea while atending the 2009 Australian Romance Readers Associaton and jotted down the premise on the back of one of the handouts.
It was originally entitled "Beauty, the Beast and the Betrayer" and as such was a finalist in the RWA STALI competition.
As I wrote the story, I used to print it out chapter by chapter and give it to a lady I worked for. She had just been diagnosed as having secondary cancer and was happy to have something to distr...more

If someone offered me a one-way ticket to the next solar system, I would be so there. I probably, wait, I know I wouldn't read the fine print on the contract.
Which is why I understand what motivates a character like Dana Sinclair to sign up to be part of mankind's first journey outside Earth's solar system in the first volume of A. B. Gayle's Saa'ar Chronicles, Isolation.

In one word... "Keeper"
This was an amazing story of love amongst the stars. Ethan O'Reilly is damaged, inside and outside. He makes a terrific hero. Broken emotionally.
Dana Sinclair is also making the best of her decision. With the death of Abu Bakara she has to take over as the medic for the entire contingent of humans on their way to the world of the Saa'ar.
The emotional growth of these two characters takes place among lies, hidden truths and a plot which could leave them all dead.

Yup, I'm going to try A.B. Gayle's MF. Keep your fingers crossed. XD
I had a sneak look at this a long time ago, before it found a home. I think I'd have marked this version higher, if I hadn't known so much of what was going to happen. On the other hand, the world building is as splendid as it was first time around, and the characters are well-drawn and impressively diverse. Some clever use of recreational technology to get around security systems too. SF romance needs more love, and I suspect quite a few people who read my reviews would like this one.

Unlike many authors, I haven't been writing stories all my life. I've been too busy living life.
My travels took me from the fjords of Norway to the southern tip of New Zealand. In between, I've worked in so many different towns I've lost count. I've shoveled cow shit, mustered sheep, been polite to customers, traded insults with politicians and need to be forgiven on occasions when I get confused...more
