friends, Jarrat and Stone and how they became lovers. If
you are a Sci-Fi fan this is a must read. Jarrat and Stone are co-captains on
the space-carrier Athena. NARC stands for Narcotics
And Riot Control. The Narcotic that they have a drug war against is Angel. Angel
is a drug that will kill you within a year or two. It’s like a sexual trip.
Once it’s got you, you’ll do anything for it. And I mean anything. Does this
sound familiar?
In Mel’s world, same-sex relationships are treated, as they should be
in real life, Accepted and Natural. Jarrat and Stone have been
working together for the past 2 years. NARC has rules about two officers having
an intimate relationship. Both Jarrat and Stone have kept their relationship as
professional as they could. That is, until the drug war takes them to Chell, a
piece of rock in space that humans colonized years ago to mine the planet.
As our story opens, there is a syndicate that runs the Angel business.
And Jarrat is in the heart of it; he is undercover, acting as a king shooter for
the syndicate boss Hal Mavik, while Stone is on the Athena supervising the
operation.
Jarrat makes a grave mistake and is almost killed. He is saved by Evelyn
and her brother Simon. After shopping Evelyn and Simon come upon the battered
body of Jarrat, who is more than half dead. Much to Simon’s dismay, Evelyn
decides to help this stranger. Why, because, ten years ago she and Simon lost
their brother to Angel. They take Jarrat to a Dr. friend of Evelyn’s. He does
a lot of repair work on Jarrat but he is still in danger. His brain is terribly
damaged. The only thing that she knows to do is take this stranger to another
Dr. friend of hers, Harry Del. Harry is considered a queer. Harry is human in
every way, but he is a mutant that has special abilities. He can go into a
person’s mind and repair damages.
Stone goes against all training and when Jarrat disappears, Stone goes
after him, all across Chell.
Well, I think I have given you enough to intrigue you. One thing that I have to say is that I like the way Mel shows that after Same-sex couples are no longer treated as queers, society finds another difference in people to ostracize. Buy the book, you won’t be disappointed!
