Book Blurb

Major Jacob “Jake” O’Connell is a career soldier. He did as he was ordered. When he was brought in on Project Alliance, he never dreamed it would lead him to another world. But as the mission he’s sent on turns into something he wants more than his next breath, Jake has to decide if turning his back on everything he has ever known is worth accepting the three catmen that want to claim him as their own.

When Terra Nova is threatened, taking him back to Earth, Jake has to fight for his freedom and the freedom of the world he now considers his home. But the betrayal is deep and comes from an unexpected source. Can Jake and his warriors work together to defeat their enemies or will Jake be forced to choose between earthlings and aliens?

 

 

 

Book Review

The second volume of the ‘Terra Nova’ series continues the story of the Talamachait, as its inhabitants call themselves and their struggles against alien invaders. They may have successfully defeated the Trabuk, but that attempt at invasion has made them realize there are other worlds out there that may either threaten them or need their help. As a result they have begun negotiations with Earth, and it is at this point that the story begins. Jake is a major and has trained the men who are to be sent to Terra Nova in an exchange for technology the earthlings need to defend their world against species like the Trabuk who are out to subjugate those not strong enough to resist. Much about this world became a lot clearer to me in this second book, and I am glad I read it. While a lot of mystery remains, especially around the Talamachait goddess, the Talamachait society and beliefs were as fascinating a setting as ever and the suspense around who was behind the deception Jake has become a victim of kept me turning the pages.

Jake is a career soldier, and a good one. He has been training a group of men for a mission he has no clue about, since he does not need to know. When the alien allies come through the wormhole to take the team with them, and Jake is suddenly requested to go as well, Jake is happy to volunteer. After all, he has no family on Earth, so nothing is holding him back. Imagine his surprise when he finds out that the three gorgeous aliens want to mate with him, and, apparently, he is now married to them. The amount of cross-cultural miscommunication is to be expected, and the way in which he clears up the misunderstandings not just with his mates but with the rest of the men from Earth is very mature.

The three warrior brothers Jake is now mated to – Rhada, Ruvia, and Rayed – are relieved to see how easily Jake adapts. But they are also making every effort to be understanding, supportive, and helpful. It seems that they really are a perfect fir for Jake – who is not submissive like Cas in book one. Jake has his own ideas, and contributes to what is going on, and when he is attacked by unknown warriors, he makes the link to the weirdness he sensed before he left Earth and figures out that all is not as it should be. He insists on accompanying his three warriors, never mind that they intended to leave him behind where it was supposedly safe. What they discovers is shocking, and fixing the damage caused by the betrayal becomes Jake’s most important objective.

If you like reading about alien societies with very different morals and attitudes to ours, if men who know what they want and demand their mates adapt interest you, and if you're looking for an imaginative, suspenseful read that is as hot as it is interesting, then you might enjoy this novella. I am curious to see what happens next on Nova Terra!
