Although this story rather unapologetically emulates Star Wars, really I didn't feel as though this was a bad thing. It was actually a bit fun. Shaun is a little bit Han Solo, a little bit Luke Skywalker and has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Lilly is very Leah-like in her commitment to her home world and her duty. While sneaking away to the Senate to beg for assistance for her besieged planet, Lilly senses the presence of Shaun in the cryo-pod across from hers. Despite the fact that she is told that the man is a murderer, she is drawn to his sleeping consciousness and inadvertently awakens a power in him he himself wasn't even aware of. Political intrigue, evil witches, bloody fights and a wise-cracking smuggler round out this entertaining tale of good vs. evil. If you don't mind the Star Warsian background I would certainly suggest this sci-fi adventure story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Shaun is a convicted murderer and under sentence to spend the rest of his life underground on a prison planet and being transported frozen in a cryo tube on the same cargo ship. Lilly instantly feels a psychic connection when Shaun's mind reaches out to hers. The ship comes under attack and her protector is killed, so Lilly releases Shaun from his imprisonment and they escape to a nearby planet. Shaun takes on the role of Lilly's protector to the displeasure of her family.
What follows is a rip-roaring adventure and I was thoroughly entertained. There is a bit a mystery about Shaun's birth, his psychic abilities and the scars on his neck that was obvious and I was able to figure them out immediately. The characters were well drawn but not deep, the dialog flowed smoothly, and the psychic bond between H/H was pleasantly satisfying. Shaun's friend Ruben was a fun character and I'm predicting he will get his own book. There were some gladitorial combat scenes that were violent and gory, so avoid or skim those scenes if you are a bit squeamish and you won't be missing anything. If you like space action adventure stories like Star Wars, you'll like this book too. (Grade: B-) ( )
