Must read for fans of Xanthe's BDSM universe, which I emphatically am! You don't get goofier than this premise: basically the characters from NCIS fly on a spaceship to Stargate Atlantis--it sounds like something my eleven year old might think up. But once you're in the story you just go with it--disbelief suspension and all that. The resulting story might be described as sci-fi-soap opera-murder mystery-cum Noah's ark, (as in all the characters pair up).

And then right in the middle comes this punishment scene! Wow--just, wow.

My Only Caveat: you might want to wait until you've lost your job, retired, gone on hiatus, or otherwise blocked out some free time before you start reading Xanthe, because she does not do short. But it's all free so at least it won't dig in to the old ramen budget.

Extra plus: contains some F/F action, featuring NCIs' supremely hot superspy, Ziva. Snap!

Gibbs and Tony shouldn't be viewed as main characters in this book, but other doms or subs, who Xanthe illustrated with abundant details, have never been my concern.
