From All About Romance: Susan Grant's second novel, proves that her first terrific romance, Once a Piratewas no fluke. This is an author who writes romantic and exciting books that conjure up exotic locales and peoples. Grant is equally at home creating an advanced civilization light years away as she was conjuring up a pirate's ship off the coast of Spain, and that's no small feat. Author Grant is masterful in her creation of the Vash culture where religion, politics, and commerce are seamlessly related. Readers will pick up subtle similarities between the upbringing of Vash royalty and some Arabic cultures, and Sharron and his cult will bring to mind the Japanese doomsday cult Aum Shinri Kyo. And, anyone who remembers Luke's blindfolded laser-sword training will recognize Grant's homage to George Lucas in the scene where Jas and Rom play a game with sens-swords in he dark. As heroic characters, Rom and Jas simply shine. Both are complex and strong individually, but as a couple, they are fantastic. Descriptions of what Jas sees throughout her travels are extremely well done - the other-worldly is easily visual in Susan Grant's words. There are some wonderfully funny moments as well - a hulking bodyguard with a name that is guaranteed to make you laugh, and a running gag involving beer.
作者简介：
Susan Grant draws on her experiences as an Air Force officer and airline pilot to create stories brimming with romance, humor, and page-turning adventure. Her bestselling novels have won many awards. But long before she wrote her first book, she adored telling tales. As a child, the only thing she liked more than daydreaming was an audience. At eighteen, she set out to live the stories she'd only imagined, and entered the United States Air Force Academy as a member of the third class in history to include women. There she made the grim discovery that she lacked the gene necessary to comprehend advanced calculus. Nonetheless, she graduated and completed two tours of duty in the Air Force before joining United Airlines to fly 747 jumbo jets around the world.
