<%image(20100322-beyond the rain.jpg|500|500|)%>

Blurb:
In a universe torn apart by civil war, a warrior and a slave must fight for their freedom, for their lives, and for a love that may destroy them both…

After five years behind enemy lines, Captain Cyani is ready to retire to her homeworld of Azra as one of the Elite — the celibate warrior sisterhood that rules the planet. But first she must complete one final mission to rescue her fellow Union soldiers. The last thing she expects to find is a prisoner, chained and beaten — but radiating feral power and an unbroken spirit…

Soren is a Byralen, an enigmatic people who possess a unique hormone that they use to bond with their mates — and that is sold as a sexual narcotic in the shadow trade. For years, he has endured torture at the hands of his captors as they leeched his very essence. The last thing he expects is to be freed from slavery by a beautiful warrior woman with radiant blue eyes.

Driven by her rigid sense of honor, Cyani frees Soren even though her life hinges upon the success of her mission. But after so many years in bondage, his hormones are so unbalanced that he will die if he does not bond with a woman. Can the lovely but distant warrior be the woman he needs to survive, or will the forbidden bond destroy them?

So, for a chance to win a copy of this book, what is your fave futuristic book or movie? Cool?

    Congrats Tara1955! Enjoy!!

    Oooh Jess Granger’s book sounds awesome and the cover is so beautiful.

    My favorite futuristic movie hands down has to be Avatar. Just loved the graphics and themes James Cameron crafted into his blockbuster.

    Book? I thik more recently Lauren Dane’s "Undercover" from her "Federation Series". I haven’t read Relentless yet but will.

    Thanks Juliana!

    I love the sound of this book. I’ve not really read many futuristic novels but this sounds like something I’d really enjoy.

    As for futuristic films I’d probably have to pick The Matrix as my favorite but I did also really love Avatar & I have to mention the TV show Red Dwarf – I loved that :o )

    My favorite futuristic movie is Bladerunner. And for futuristic books, how about SciFi Romance? All Linnea Sinclair’s are fabulous and I can’t pick just one.

    One of my very first sci-fi movies was Soldier (mm, Kurt Russell), and it’s still one of my favorites. :)
