You know all those tales where one of the partners is caught cheating and the other tries to build a new life for themselves and meets up with another person who makes their life complete? Yeah, how many of them are on SOL? So many.
This is sort of one of those tales. The wife cheats. They divorce. Husband starts a new life with a new lady. The difference is, the new lady is an alien. A gorgeous and very sexy alien. How good is that for a new start of life!
Yep, a very different end to a tale as old as humans have been on this planet. Especially different when you get to the end of the tale. What fun that would be.
So, yes, go ahead, read this tale. It is lightweight and fun. There is spycraft and there is a great tech base. There is some nice romantic sex, not explicit and it doesn't take over the story, it is just a nice little interlude.
The numbers are good with this one.
- Plot: 8 and very nicely done.
- Technical: Nothing jumped out at me. All I's were crossed and the T's were dotted. 10.
- Appeal: Do you have to even ask? Aliens. Sexy aliens. Oh yeah, count me in. 10
Oh yeah, D.T. Iverson. I have been reading and enjoying his tales since 2016. Always good. Always worth the time to read. Look through his catalogue and pick out some more of his stories to enjoy. You won't be disappointed in your reading.
Here are some of my favourites:
"Bad Day at the Greasy Grass"
"Beyond Measure"
"The Tugboat Man and the Lost Continent"
"Aurum Et Periculo - the Mystery of the Roman Gold"
