When Zara realizes that she’s been used by a shrewd but seductive rebel, however, her reaction surprises everyone, most of all herself.
My thoughts
Vijaya Schartz has done a
remarkable job with the science fiction romance Black Dragon. This novella is the seventh installment in the
Borealis series which is written by different authors but all interlock
together and take place aboard the spaceship Borealis. Although this is the
seventh story in the series, this story can be read alone without having read
the others.
In Black
Dragon, we meet Lt. Zara Frankel who is trying to catch a dandy that is
cheating in the gambling hall aboard the Borealis. Zara is very skilled and
always gets the criminal but this time she might be in over her head when she
meets Captain Czerno Drake, also known as the Black Dragon. Czerno comes aboard
the Borealis to break out his uncle who is innocent of the charges filed
against him. When he meets Zara, Czerno can not pass up the chance to use her
to get inside the ship and to the prison cells. As these two form a
relationship based on lies will any true feelings come to the surface?
I really enjoyed Black Dragon with its fast paced
dialogue and plot, and Vijaya Schartz does a great job developing Zara and
Czerno. A surprise favorite character
for me was Marshmallow and I am sure you’ll fall in love with him too. Although
the genre isn’t something I read regularly, this science fiction romance has
made me a true fan. This book is a definite recommendation for any science
fiction reader or for any reader looking for a great, faced paced book.
