Product Description:


In the Ichidian Universe, the League and its ruthless assassins continue to keep rule. But at what cost? Welcome back to the future…and a whole new world.



Devyn Kell spent his life in service to the League until he learned of the double dealing and backstabbing that was costing innocent people their lives. Refusing to play those politics, he became a Runner—someone who makes sure planets get the weapons, medicine and supplies they need to survive. May the gods have mercy on any who get in his way, because he definitely won’t.



Alix Garran is a woman on the run from a past she can’t escape. Signing on to work for Devyn as a System’s Engineer, she finds a cause she can fight for—and a man she can respect. But as Alix’s past catches up to her, and Devyn’s old enemies turn lethal, they have to fight together…or fall alone.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - early work
Obviously an early work for Kenyon the story was a good read. When I found out she had issues with the publisher on this one and plans on reissueing it closer to her original story I was intrigued. I read and liked this one and I plan on getting the rerelease to see the differences. From how Kenyon has evolved in the decade since this was published I am expecting an even more enjoyable read. Purchase this if you are a obsessive collector like me or wait for the new issue. Either way it is a fun different world for Kenyon fans with more science fiction edge to the story than we generally find in her works.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not her best...
This is my first oldie by Sherrilyn Kenyon and I have read and loved all her new books. I decided to get my hands on some her older and harder to find books that she had written at the beginning of her career. I was very disappointed in this book. There was a flaw in each main character that I found vastly irritating; the heroine, Alix, is constantly on the verge of tears and it gets repetitive after the first 10 times; the hero, Devyn, has no faith in Alix, even so close to the end. He's so willing to believe the worst in her. I thought he'd be able to rise above his misgivings.

All in all this book just didn't grab my attention and I was easily distracted by other things. I love a book that keeps me reading into the small hours of the morning.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Yuck
Don't waste your money on this book - my ten year old could write a better novel.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Very enjoyable
I have just recently discovered Sherrilyn Kenyon. I read her new book "Fantasy Lover" and knew I had to read everything else she has written. I really enjoyed this sci-fi romance. I liked the fact that the characters had problems and weren't picture perfect. The supporting characters made the story whole and I would enjoy read stories about some of them.

This is the story of Alix, a slave who is a wiz mechanic and she hires on to be the engineer on Devyn's ship. She hopes to someday have enough money to get her own ship. Devyn has no idea that she is a slave and she keeps that info a secret from him. Devyn is a runner. He is a former HAWC doctor who had had enough of the horrible things he was assigned to do and now uses his ship to carry medical supplies and food to those in deperate need.
Neither of them realize that they are the targets of a evil man who will stop at nothing to see them harmed. Together they must learn to tust each other and face the evil. Along the way they find passion and love but its a struggle.

The book was an enjoyable read for an afternoon. I plan on reading more of this author's books.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Incredible!!
I just got this book the other day & I stayed up all night reading it. It was incredible. Devyn Kell is too great to believe. I wish I could meet him in real life! This is definitely one of my all time keepers.
