An interesting and entertaining book. The premise is that there is an alien culture that has lost all its females. The males have the ability to take a female from any species and change her DNA to make her compatible for mating. So they scour the universe for likely species with whom to mate and continue their species. And all goes the same for generations…until they come to Earth. The Gron’dalins appreciate intelligence and beauty and they marvel at how strong and resilient the human females are. They are a telepathic race and they have never before encountered a species that was stronger than they, telepathically – until their King decides to take a human bride. And things will never be the same for the Gron’dalins and their captive brides.
Our heroine, Hillary, is a reluctant bride but comes to realize she might be the savior of her race. But the question becomes: which race?
As I said, it’s an entertaining story but could use a little polish. The plot is straightforward and not too complicated although it has a few holes in its logic. There’s also a lack of description for important events happening ‘off-screen’ that bothered me. The characters are fairly well-defined but somehow seem a bit shallow to me. I hope she continues to write and mature, I’d like to see what stories she comes up with. – Catherine Book
