"First-ever one volume collection of the science fantasy saga of bondage and romance! This unique omnibus collects the two serials that have made Alex T'Kayn a legend among sexy sci-fi series. Originally published as a pair of two-part serials, "The Star of Illiyn" and "The Black Rose of Janassi", this interstellar saga of daring capers, hair-breath escapes, randy protagonists, with more than a dash of bondage has thrilled readers for most of a decade. Now for the first time in one volume, here are the complete misadventures of the ever-so sexy treasure hunter and thief, Alex T'Kayn, at almost half the price of the original serial editions." ~ From Goodreads

Alright, I wasn't very fond of the writing, all the basics were there, the story telling, the action, the red hot sex but the fine tuning was missing. I needed more subtlety, quiet moments where we got bang-bang-bang of all sorts. The author stated Star Wars movie as inspiration and it read like a movie in the sense that it was one action scene after another. Which, hey, isn't always a bad thing!

Like I mentioned the sex was sizzling hot especially with the somewhat sinister antics of some darker characters. As erotica this was excellent! I especially loved the seduction voodoo going on with a vampiric baddies and Alex's race, made for a a really hot sex-drug plot twist!

I have a always loved a spunky heroine that's not dumb-brave, you know where they head over to trouble against all common sense - I was very happy with the spunkiness/braveness ratio of Alex, I always do root for a strong heroine with smarts added on top!

This said I think sci-fi action readers will love this it's real fast pace and also sheets scorching hot! No big romance plot, but a lot creative, very detail, bedroom antics and a whole lot of action!
