  Review 
Doctor Zach Harliegh realized there was something different about Raven Sanderson, however by the time he learned the truth, it was already too late because Zach was well on his way to falling in love with Raven.

They Walk Among Us is an intriguing blend of mystery, action and romance. Everyone is on a mission; some of the missions are more complex than others. Zach was part of a rebel group but he did not completely trust them. Like many people, Zach did not believe the publicized propaganda, so he did his own studies as well as formed his own opinions. Because of his knowledge acquired over the years regarding the aliens, Zach was constantly hounded by the government who wanted him to join their research team.

Raven is more than he appears to be to the humans. He has capabilities the human population could never imagine. Upon first meeting Zach, Raven thought only to enlist Zach’s aid for his mission, yet the more time Raven spent with Zach, Raven began to realize he and Zach could possibly have a future together.

T. A. Chase has created an impressive and enjoyable saga that illustrates the fears in addition to the perverted mentalities in a large number of the populace. They Walk Among Us exhibits the message of that which we fear, we try to destroy.

Gravitational Attraction by Angel Martinez


 Genre: {M/M} Science Fiction Paperback 



A mysterious distress call draws the crew of courier ship Hermes to what appears to be an empty, drifting troop vessel--empty except for the blood and gore spattered corridors and a lone survivor locked in a holding cell. Drawn to the handsome, traumatized man, the crew’s comm officer, Isaac Ozawa, makes Turk his personal responsibility, offering him the kindness and warmth he needs after the horror he experienced.

Isaac knows firsthand what it’s like to be different and an outcast, and this cements their bond. Once a promising pilot, Isaac was left with a damaged body when his brain didn't meld with the high-tech implant needed to fly fighter ships. Turk’s brain is no better. The result of a military experiment gone wrong, his natural abilities have been augmented to a dangerous degree.

When an amoral, power-hungry admiral kidnaps Isaac and uses him to convince Turk to become the cataclysmic weapon he’s hungered for, it will take Turk’s strength, the ingenuity of the Hermes crew, the help of the enigmatic Drak’tar, and Isaac’s own stubborn will to save them. 


Trained as a fighter pilot, Isaac Ozawa is the only Hermes crew member forcibly discharged from the military. A flawed implant operation has rendered Isaac too unstable to pilot a space ship. But as the communication officer for the Hermes, a non-military cargo ship, Isaac is a benefit. Especially in the search and rescue of Turk, a Corzin warrior who has been surgically enhanced by the military. 

Gravitational Attraction is a hang-on-to-your-seat powerful action space adventure with a little romance on the side. The tough-as-nails characters are exceedingly convincing. The creative settings are partly in space and part on Turk’s home planet. From the moment Turk was rescued, Isaac felt an unexplained connection with the man and felt compelled to stay close. Turk also was feeling the invisible connection with Isaac. However, Turk recognizes that Isaac is his soul mate. Isaac and Turk’s hearts beat as one. They find peace and comfort only in each other’s arms.  The whole plot is fascinating; I particularly enjoyed the characters’ good-natured verbal interactions, the illustration of honor, as well as the total acceptance of worthy people into the Corzin family units. Of course there must be a villain; in this plot it is a psychotic, sinister menace to everyone.

Angel Martinez has created a magnificent saga blending intense conflict, humor, poetic sensuality along with compassion. Gravitational Attraction is absolutely a must read for all M/M science fiction fans.
