Slavers, a time lord, and a galactic story of good and evil

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I am starting chapter 6 and so far the novel has kept my interest. The narration is well done and easy to listen to IMO.

Jake Melkins is a few months away from turning twenty-one. By the Seceltor Empire’s laws, he will have to go to a breeding camp, or directly into slavery. Neither choice appeals to him. All this changes with the arrival of a space-and-time-traveling being known as Evaran at the space station turned rest stop that Jake lives on.

To make things complicated, Greecho, the slaver who abducted Jake as a kid, has arrived at the station. He and his crew, along with his twenty-two-year-old human pet, Kathy, are about to go on a slave run to Earth.

Evaran has decided to interfere and free Jake and Kathy. That decision will lead him to Earth, where he will need to deal with the consequences.

I will get around to listening to it. For some reason it makes think of "The Sparrow" by Maria Doria Russel. One of the first books that really touched me as a teen that has never left me. The Sparrow haunted me then, and it still haunts me today.

If you have never read it, I highly suggest it. If you don't want to read it, here is a good spoiler.
