Continuing on immediately from the ending of Reckless Rescue, Tyris and Marlee were very close to Tyris’ home planet, Urslat, at last. But the General wasn’t expecting Tyris, as he had been gone for over nine months – he had been thought to have perished, with his family even holding a memorial for him. So when the spaceship was within radio distance, and Tyris contacted the Space Station, everyone was shocked to say the least.

Docking and being escorted by soldiers was a shock, but Tyris was ass Continuing on immediately from the ending of Reckless Rescue, Tyris and Marlee were very close to Tyris’ home planet, Urslat, at last. But the General wasn’t expecting Tyris, as he had been gone for over nine months – he had been thought to have perished, with his family even holding a memorial for him. So when the spaceship was within radio distance, and Tyris contacted the Space Station, everyone was shocked to say the least.

Docking and being escorted by soldiers was a shock, but Tyris was assured it was routine. As they both headed into different medical rooms for their examinations, Marlee was slightly terrified. Her home planet of Zerris was nothing like Urslat; she was feeling overwhelmed by it all. And a little worried as she also wondered if she were pregnant – a possibility which should have been impossible!

The shocks kept coming for Marlee – she found herself sitting in the waiting room waiting for Tyris beside Milandra, who turned out to be Tyris’ wife – something Tyris had not bothered to tell her. The secret of their love for each other would have to remain just that – a secret. Could they keep that secret though?

With Urslat having rules which were strict in the extreme, with all sorts of recriminations if one disobeyed those rules, Tyris and Marlee knew they had no choice but to wait and bide their time. But suddenly danger was just around the corner – Marlee had to make a choice, and fast. What would happen to Marlee and Tyris? Would they even have a future, or was it the worst thing they had ever done, to leave Zerris for Urslat?

I thoroughly enjoyed this, the second in the Barren Planet series. The new characters which were introduced are well crafted and easy to know. Getting to know Tyris’ family was great, especially his younger brother Kerit, and it’s exciting to learn the third in the series will be Kerit’s story. I have no hesitation in recommending Aussie author Rinelle Grey and her Barren Planet series to all readers of fantasy and science fiction.
