jaceyLinnea Sinclair: Shades of Dark – Dock Five 2
A science fiction romance, six packs and sex in space. The second story about Chaz Bregren and her lover, former monk, mercenary and telepath Gabriel (Sully) Sullivan. In the first book, Gabriel's Ghost, Sully, Chaz and Sully's crew, with the help of Chaz's ex-husband, Admiral Philip Guthrie, and her brother, Thad, take out a lab breeding vicious and highly illegal Jukors. Shades of Dark takes up where Gabriel's Ghost left off. Chaz and Sully are out amongst the stars hunting Hayden Burke, Sully's cousin, and the owner of the Jukor lab. He's got a lab on a space ship and Sully and Chaz need to close it down. But a simple operation doesn't stay simple once politics comes into the equation. Chaz's brother Thad is accused of treason and forced to betray her and Sully, leaving the way open for Burke to expose Sully's telepathic powers to the universe. Sully's not a normal telepath, either, he's Kyi-Ragkiril, able to control not only other minds, but to manipulate pure energy, though he's largely untrained and not in full control of his abilities.
Things get complicated when they take Del on board, another Kyi-Ragkiril who trains Sully, but brings cultural dissonance that threatens to wreck Chaz and Sully's relationship completely. Del might be an ally, but he's not a friend.
The ending leaves an opening for further novels about Chas and Sully, though Sinclair's next outing in this universe features Philip Guthrie.
