GENETIC SNARE
By: Laura Baumbach
The Plot:
Bounty hunter Talos bows to
pressure to bring his life mate home
for the completion of his strict warrior
culture‟s bonding ritual. Aidan, dis-
placed eighteenth-century Earth pi-
rate—light-fingered, sly, charming, and
understandably naive about the new
world he‟s been thrust into—can‟t
wait. Even if it turns out someone
wants him dead. The twenty-sixth cen-
tury looks different, but it turns out to
be a lot like his old life!
An Excerpt
The candles had stuttered out, leaving the room draped in pale
gray shadow. It was a comfortable darkness, one Talos found rest-
ful, a spectrum of low light in which his keen eyesight functioned
well. Being able to see in the dark and underwater was a definite
advantage for stalking prey. Talos was momentarily sated and fully
rested after a few hours of sleep. The genetic mandate to claim his
new mate at an increasingly awkward rate hadn‟t affected his
hunter‟s sense of alertness and physical stamina. His body was cre-
ated for the claiming ritual of his race, unlike his unprepared hu-
man lover. They would have to bring this need to an end soon if
Aidan was to survive it.
