Description
In the distant future, humans have rapidly developed; not only in numbers. Technologically and biologically, but also independently. Space travel of the twenty first century, modern medicine and technology has greatly advanced. The human race led by Earths “Federation” was forced to explore the vast and inevitable existence of the universe in search of habitable planets. A massive military space base was constructed and launched in deep, distant, space. This main base, ‘Gemini’ contains thousands of personnel. A continuous pumping heart of the Federations exploration fleet. New species and other man-made aids of new and futuristic designs continually maintained with creative technology to assist in the smooth running of Gemini along with the new settlements on planets discovered nearby. Years into the future, many more habitable planets and new civilizations, each working together to sustain the undeniable fact of survival. Military personnel and ranking procedure remained the same, even as most things advanced, some remained. Open your mind to a futuristic fantasy. Wonderful habitable worlds set in distant galaxies. Extravagant technology and innovative medical advances. Packed with action and fast paced conflict between good and evil. General Viper was the callous, vindictive, malicious leader aboard the space station Gemini. He is a man all about duty, discipline and power. Not afraid to kill without a moment of regret. Lieutenant Jessica Wilson, is an attractive, intelligent, witty and hard working newly promoted officer on Gemini, but she is curious. She knows Viper has secrets which she is unable to stop herself wanting to uncover. Yet, they are both unprepared for the rewards and consequences in store. Unable to control their mutual desire and magnetic attraction that they have between them, they eventually give in, knowing all too well that their love will have dramatic consequences and would not be looked upon lightly by the senior ranks within the Federation. A love so deep, an ocean is shallow by comparison, but is it enough to save their lives? Viper is torn between the dilemmas of love and duty and a regret, which comes back to haunt him; seeking revenge for a past enemy encounter. An evil Triton Leader (Lord Makos) who has already murdered Viper's first wife (Lara) is not satisfied with the death of her. He wants Viper, or will Jess be a better trophy? As Jess and Viper come together, the consequences of their love become all too real. Her best friend and former lover, Mike Hunter is brutally murdered aboard her ship. And Makos is not working alone. Aboard Gemini a pair of blood red slit eyes are watching their every move, waiting in the shadows for the right moment to strike, yet initially, they appear totally human. Jess is captured by the Triton. Is Viper about to risk the whole operation just to save her life? Who is more important; her life or every other life on Gemini? A compelling, captivating and fantastic story that will have you tingling with anticipation. Filled with impressive scientific creations. Strong characters, truly evil villains and intrigue. This story gives a powerful view of the human heart and a truly inspiring look into the imagination of sci-fi romance and fantasy.
