I think that was one of them. :) I liked Evermore a lot but I didn't like the second one as much. I will probably finish the series eventually though.

My copy of The Hounds of the Morrigan seems to have vanished into the ether during this past weekend's cleaning exploits, so I picked up Atlantis Rising instead.

Finished my 9th book for this challenge - Kiss of the Night. I enjoyed this Dark-Hunter book very much. I really like Wulf's character. I look forward to Vane's story.

MARTINA'S JANUARY LIST - 8/10 COMPLETE

Just finished reading Stardoc (Stardoc, Book 1) by S.L. Viehl which I give 5 stars!

Stardoc falls most clearly into the genre of sci-fi, but it does have elements of both romance and psychic power, as well as all the aliens you could possibly imagine!

Stardoc is set in the indeterminate future - a future where Earth (called Terra in this series) has joined an alliance of space-faring civilizations. Doctor Cherijo Grey Veil is a brilliant surgeon of approx 30 years of age. Driven by a (unknown to the reader) secret she discovers about her over-domineering father, she leaves Terra to accept a physician position at Kevarzangia Two's FreeClinic.

Kevarzangia Two is home to over 200 different species with Terrans making up less than 1%, so Cherijo must proove herself as each medical emergency gives her the challenge of treating new species and diseases. However, Cherijo's biggest two challenges are yet to come. A mysterious illness breaks out that seems to affect all species except Cherijo herself and her father is trying unrelentlessly to drag her back home no matter what the circumstances.

I LOVED this book! I've always been a fan of space operas such as those written by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon. Throw in some space romance like Linnea Sinclair and you've got a winner, IMO. I'll definitely be picking up further books in this series.

Similar series:
* Vatta's War series by Elizabeth Moon
* Serrano/Suiza series by Elizabeth Moon
* Dinosaur Planet series by Anne McCaffrey (with E. Moon & J. L. Nye)
* Freedom series by Anne McCaffrey

Martina, if you liked Space Doc--try reading some of the Sector General (Hospital Station) books. They are actually set in a giant space station that's also a hospital. Interesting idea and set up, and I did enjoy all the books. I haven't read them in a while, and there is a possiblity that they might be a little dated in their science. But the stories are still good.

Oops, sorry, got distracted by Martina's post.

Ok, last year, I kept track of the TOTAL number of books that we as a group read. Are you all interested in me doing that again?
