Synopsis (Goodreads):
Commander Iskar Gar-Kurai isn't impressed by humans or their backwater planet. If he had his way, he'd be working closer to home, on a planet where it wasn't so infernally hot...Thoughts on A Darkside Interlude: While I freely admit to being smitten with these Kordolian warriors, I'm BEYOND THRILLED to see how Tarak is using his "retirement" as he sets up the Darkstar Mercenaries and gives his men a new place to put their soldiering ways to the test. I love seeing the after in a happily ever after and Tarak might no longer be the cruel blade of the Empire, but he's not simply closing up shop and spending his days dottering around the homestead. But then, I never really expected he'd be the type to do that, so this makes sense.
But orders are orders, especially when they come from the very top.
If he's going to be on Earth for the long term, Iskar needs to learn more about its strange inhabitants. That's why he's reluctantly agreed to hit the streets of Darkside. It's an observational visit, nothing more.
So why has this blue-haired temptress targeted him of all people, and what is he going to do about it?
Criminals must be punished, and Iskar has always done things by the book.
A Darkside Interlude is a novella set after the Dark Planet Warriors series. It can be read as a standalone, but it'll probably make more sense if you read the original series first
But enough about Tarak. This is Iskar and Mari's story. Their first meeting doesn't go as Mari expects and suddenly she's got the eyes of a Kordolian commander on her. For a thief who needs to fly under the radar to do her thing effectively (and by that, I mean she needs to not catch the attention of anyone in authority. Her MO itself is to draw all sorts of attention to herself when she's picking her mark and luring them in with her drop-dead beauty.) this is a little problematic.
Until it's not.
Let's face it, having a Kordolian with possessive instincts and the ability to level ones enemies on your side is excellent when things go south.
And things do go south. Not that Mari can't take care of herself, but it's nice to have backup, right?
I'm looking forward to seeing where this new direction takes our surly heroes and the ladies who fall for them. There are A LOT of unmated Kordolians out there, so there's plenty of opportunity for craziness on every level.
