Heart Scarab

by Anna Butler

Overview

Shield Captain Bennet is on Telnos, a unpleasant little planet inhabited by religious fanatics and unregistered miners running illegal solactinium mines. It's about to be about to be overrun by the Maess. Bennet's job is to get out as many civilians as he can, but the enemy arrives before the evacuation is complete. Caught in a vicious fire fight, Bennet is left behind, presumed dead.

His family is grieving. Joss, his long-term partner, grieves with them; lost, unhappy, remorseful. First Lieutenant Flynn has no official 'rights' here. He isn't family. He isn't partner or lover.

All he is, is broken.

About my books
I love space opera, with spaceships and laser pistols and humanity fighting for its survival against unknowable, unfathomable aliens and, at the same time, against itself and humans’ own worst traits. Yes, I’m hopelessly old fashioned!

I am currently working on two, quite different, series of books:
• The Taking Shield series is a classic space opera with handsome young men wielding lasers—a love story, but not a romance.

• The Lancaster’s Luck series is a classic m/m romance, but with the added twist of a steampunk world where aeroships fill the skies of Victorian London and our hero uses pistols powered by luminferous aether and phlogiston.

A fabulous sequel to Gyrfalcon. You get to see more of the emotion and relationship between everyone in this book but there's still so much going on. This book was amazing and I seriously want all of the books in the series rightnowrightnow, but at the same time I don't want the series to end

God, what a ride this book was. As a fan of the first book, I was thrilled to read this one. It gripped me from the beginning and took me for a ride until the very end. And I cannot wait for the third book.

I'm not exaggerating at all when I say this is a mainstream science fiction series that I would expect to see at the city library if I went looking for it. It is that well written. The world building is quite complex, as are the characters. I highly recommend this book, as well as its predecessor, "Gyrfalcon"... If you are as much of a sci-fi fan as I am, you will definitely enjoy this series.
