Synopsis (Goodreads):
Will an alien sleeping beauty awaken to save him, or destroy everyone around her?Thoughts on Trapped on Talonque: Okay. So this time around on Sectors SF, we're dropped on a technologically primitive planet with natives who have some rather bloody ways of worshiping their gods. The fact that one of their gods is an alien woman who's been in a stasis chamber for thousands of years and is kept prisoner by a combination of the technology...Okay, pause. There's a lot going on here. I should probably just say the Special Forces men are as proactive as ever when it comes to saving those in need and leave it at that.
When a Sectors Special Forces soldier and his team crash land on an alien planet, they're taken captive and given a challenge--win at the violent ball game of sapiche and live. Lose, and they die, sending a mysterious, alien beauty to an even uglier fate. To survive, these soldiers must win the game and find a way to free the dangerous prisoner from her locked chamber.
Nate Reilly and his team are in deep trouble. Prisoners on a backward alien planet, they're brought before an alien 'goddess', sleeping in her high tech seclusion. Nate is astonished when she awakes and establishes a psychic link with him. But her news is not good--he and his men must win a brutal challenge set by their captors, or they will die. She'll give her aid, but in the end their courage and strength must win the contest.
Bithia sleeps in her chamber, as she has for thousands of years, since her own people unaccountably left her there. Viewed as a goddess by her captors, she must hide her ancient secrets to survive. But only the bravest of men may free her. Can she use her psychic powers to keep Nate and his men alive long enough to help her escape, or will her only hope of freedom die with them?
I won't leave it at that, of course, but you get the point.
Those Sectors SF soldiers have drive, man. Especially when someone needs them to do the impossible. Like escape an obsessed king and his vicious queen. Or whatever their actual titles are. Once he realizes the situation Bithia is in, Nate is determined to figure out a way to save both his remaining crew and the woman who connected to him on a soul-deep level.
I think it goes without saying, but I REALLY like these guys. All of them. They're brutal when they need to be, but they're also decent to the core. Nate fights for what he believes in even when it's detrimental to him and there's no chance Bithia will be left behind.
Good times!
