Somewhere in the middle of the United States, onboard a Sheloni spaceship and an uninhabited planet - Present Day

 

When a woman is driving alone on an unfamiliar road in the dead of night, a lot of possible hazardous scenarios come to mind: an animal running across the road, a flat tire, the battery going dead. One possibility that she probably wouldn’t picture? Being captured by aliens for use in a breeding program. Sabrina “Bri” MacIntyre certainly never thought such a thing could happen, but it did, and now she has to face the fact that aliens are real and she’ll probably never see Earth again.

 

Many of the Hirachi (an alien race with very large builds and yellowish skin) have been captured by the Sheloni (a delicately built alien race with highly advanced technology) for use as slaves. The warlike women of the Hirachi are resistant to having babies that will grow into slaves, going so far as to kill them when they’re born. Kole and Dansk, two Hirachi males, have noticed that their females are becoming less and less visible in their habitat aboard the Sheloni ship, and then the small, weak, female creatures appeared. Surely the Sheloni don’t think they will breed with these women, do they? Although, both Kole and Dansk must admit that there’s something very appealing about the delicate women, Bri in particular strikes a chord with both of them.

 

When the Hirachi’s instincts to mate are brought to the fore, it may be a fight to the death for the right to possess Bri. And Bri’s instincts? Well, they’re shouting loud and clear that both Kole and Dansk are extremely appealing, so who does she hope will win? You’ll just have to read GENESIS to find out.

 

In GENESIS, Kaitlyn O’Connor has created a highly imaginative, well thought out world with characters that you’ll grow to care about and an ending that’s unexpected. Bri undergoes quite a transformation during the story. In the beginning she’s a bit spoiled, complacent and used to being able to control her destiny, at least as much as any of us can. But, then she comes up against circumstances she can’t defeat. After all, even if you were to take over a spaceship, could you figure out how to fly it back home? When she becomes involved with Kole and Dansk, she realizes that even though they’re not human, they have much in common, maybe enough that there could be a real future for them. Kole and Dansk are each interesting men. Kole is more the strong silent type, and Dansk leans towards the emotional - ready, willing, and able to shower tenderness on Bri. Each man is extremely well built and may inspire some very naughty daydreams in readers. The connection between the main characters is realistic and so are the emotions that they go through as they try to figure out a way to regain their freedom and find home once again.

 

Consuelo is another Earth woman held in a pen bordering Bri’s. Consuelo and Bri are each given sickly Hirachi babies to care for, Manuel and Cory. Becoming “mothers” helps them to become friends despite their differing languages and backgrounds. It’s amazing how much having someone depend on you gives you strength and perspective. Even though they’re being held by the Sheloni, the aliens don’t play a huge role in the story, as it focuses more on the relationships between the humans and the Hirachi.

 

If you love a great Sci-Fi story and have always thought that Spock (or someone very like him), would be an interesting person to get to know, GENESIS is meant for you. Stop by New Concepts and get your copy today.
