As a Sotah warrior, Singai is investigating a smuggling operation within which she believes the Dalig are buying banned Earth weapons. She infiltrates their organization but there is a double agent involved, and after a meeting one night she is attacked by three Dalig warriors. Daemon Quinn is a Fortuna Guardian who has been watching and following Singai because he believes her to be the woman his client is searching for. Quinn comes to Singai's aid when she is injured and single-handedly thwarts the Dalig warriors. He takes a DNA sample from her wound and later tests it on his portable lab to compare and confirm that she matches the sample provided by his client. Quinn partially explains his contract to Singai and he tells her that the attack on her may be a result of his investigation, and if it is, she will be attacked again as the other women he investigated were murdered. Quinn must take Singai to his client, and he wants her to go willingly. After he saves her life a second time, she agrees to go with him. Quinn books passage for himself and Singai on the same ship that they believe the Dalig are transporting some illegal weapons. Some threatening incidents happen aboard the ship but they are not sure whose investigation it has to do with. There is only one room available for the two of them and Quinn is sure he won't be able to stand the close contact with Singai as he has desired her from the moment they met. Singai cannot explain her feelings for Quinn, except that she is attracted to him, and those feelings are intensified and reinforced especially after he kisses her several times. Quinn and Singai arrive at their destination and all of their questions are answered by the Empress Narice. The Empress and her only daughter and heir, are dying, and the kingdom is being infiltrated by the Dalig. Narice tells Singai and Quinn the whole truth and she implores Singai to go along with her plan. But someone else has also learned the truth and Singai's life is in danger too They must find out by the weeks end what is causing the illness and save the Empress and her daughter, because only then will Singai be free of the throne and it's responsibilities. Together Singai and Quinn expose the evildoer, but Singai is injected with a deadly poison and Quinn has one hour to find and administer the antidote. Quinn injects Singai with an antidote, but is it the right one? *The main thought that crossed my mind while reading this book was how futuristic some aspects of the story were, like 'symbiotic companions' capable of telepathy, and yet the various modes of transportation seemed almost archaic, like beasts of burden, carriages and ships....where are the spaceships? And in the beginning, several words are defined or explained for the reader. However, I must admit that this is only my third experience with futuristic romance so this may not be unusual to futuristic readers. Other than these points that came to mind, I really liked this one.* Christine Michels has all the essential elements to take Beneath A Crimson Moon to great heights! An intelligent plot with a twist; strong, well developed characters and a romance that is out of sight! Beneath A Crimson Moon is fast paced and extremely well written! Ms. Michels excels! A totally gratifying and imaginative story! Lots of action!Gloria Miller -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times
