When you delve into ancient history you never know what strange forces you might unleash.
When Morgan Selwood and Admiral Ashkar Ravindra travel to Morgan’s Human Coalition to learn more about the origin of Ravindra’s people, their relationship is soon sorely tested. Morgan is amongst her own people and Ravindra is overprotective and insecure, afraid of losing her. But not everyone is keen to welcome Morgan home, not when they’d gone to all that trouble to get rid of her in the first place. Soon Morgan and Ravindra have a rogue Supertech on their trail with only one goal – kill Selwood.
Together, Morgan and Ravindra follow a tenuous trail back into humanity’s past, to the time historians call the Conflagration. But what begins as an innocent archaeological investigation escalates into a deadly peril for both humans and Manesai when Morgan and Ravindra are thrust into the middle of an unexpected conflict. And that rogue Supertech’s still out there, itching for revenge.
Greta van der Rol loves writing science fiction with a large dollop of good old, healthy romance. She lives not far from the coast in Queensland, Australia and enjoys photography and cooking when she isn't bent over the computer. She has a degree in history and a background in building information systems, both of which go a long way toward helping her in her writing endeavours.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Morgan and Ravindra set off to find where his people come from. Their journey takes her back to her home. You wouldn't think a little research would present such an action-packed adventure, with an unexpected villain. Great story with expert worldbuilding. And, a satisfying ending.
I just love this series. Morgan is a wonderful heroine who never lets the reader down. The chemistry between her and Ravindra is HOT. This isn't erotica, and frankly it's not needed to make you feel the sizzling attraction between the 2 leads. The science fiction is well done and not just there as a reason for the hero and heroine to get together. There's science, romance, political intrigue and and, well that's enough isn't it? The sequel, while not as strong a book, was a great read too.
I know there will be a sequel because those blue things are still out there. There are so many variables in how these characters will interact it is going to be a great ride.
The blub had me worried about their romance.... but it was all good. Whew! I also had a problem with the fact that Morgan was terrified of caves in book 1, but now in book 2 she is fearless and our hero is the one with the problem in the underwater caves:/ Still, it is a very enjoyable read:)
