Erlinn, Jerod, Kev and Gem only know
about life on the Starbound. They have learned everything
they know from the race that is keeping them hostage on
their starship. The Napau only have one law they enforce
and that is “Love one, love all” which means there is no
marriage and no lasting relationships. This is where the
problem is as Erlinn and Jerod can’t imagine living without
each other. Once this is discovered, Jerod is taken to be
one of the “priests” that serve the Napau. But this doesn’t
keep them apart. They reconnect when Erlinn is chosen to
house one of the Napau for a sex filled weekend.
Now it is up to Kev and Gem, who have
their own relationship building to determine how to make it
possible to escape the Napau without dying. They want to be
able to give people the choice of being married or of living
their current lifestyle. The two begin to work and explore
the weekend that Erlinn is with Jerod. But, can they
overcome the Napau possessions, and their own jealousy in
time to make a difference and free themselves?
Starbound is an interesting idea for those who
love space travel. When Earth is setting out for another
solar system to settle they plan all they need about the
Starbound ship, including hydroponics, etc… I also thought
the idea of being imprisoned by beings of light and energy
was also interesting. But, I just couldn’t get interested
in the story. Normally this is the type of story that would
interest me, it has all the elements but, it couldn’t keep
my interest. Others might have no problem with the story,
and in fact might love it. But, for this reader it was
almost as if the author was trying too hard to get lots of
erotic scenes fit into the plot line, and making sure to
throw enough action and dialogue in to keep the story
moving. |
