Review: Games of Command (Bantam Spectra Book) by Linnea Sinclair
Reading this book, I kept on saying, sometimes out-loud, "haha whut." The entire thing is really so ludicrously over the top, and the main conflict feels like something that might have come from a Saturday morning cartoon produced in the eighties. I enjoyed it a lot, when I wasn't writhing in sympathetic embarrassment at the display of authorial id.
Captain Tasha 'Sass' Sebastian is serving under (not like that!) Admiral Brendon Kel-Paten. Their respective empires were once at war, but are now allied, which causes a certain amount of stress for Sass, especially since she has successfully concealed, 'till now, her former career as a smuggler and spy. Brenden, however, is doing what he's been doing for the last twelve years: Writing soppy love letters he will never send to the woman who captured his heart when she met him in battle, Tasha Sebastian.
Yes. I know. And I haven't even told you about the telepathic energy vampires who can only be defeated by teleporting cats. Did I mention Brendon is frightened of letting Sass know his feelings because he fears she could never love him, since he's a cyborg?
However, what this book does have loads of yearning, which I am a sucker for.
Apparently this book won some sort of 'RITA award' which tells me that the only thing lacking for me to become a RITA award-winning author is the discipline to write five-hundred pages.
