Lanimer: Return to Zevus Mar

by Christine Myers

Thirty years after the Tregan invasion that killed his parents, Lanimer Dakoff’s recurring dreams seem to be calling him back to Zevus Mar. Because he was a telepathic psion, his parents made their friend Hankura Narcaza Lanimer’s Guardian in case something happened to them. They took him to Oltarin to live with them, along with his Zevians governess and the Tregans who rescued them.

After Val’kara Clinic on Zevus Mar offers him a position as a doctor, he receives a holographic message from the young Trakellisan human hybrid named Evalee. From the moment she saw his holographic acceptance message, she knew she wanted him. Knowing that he is telepathic, she realizes he will sense her attraction as soon as they meet. Evalee decides honesty is the best course of action, and she sends him a private message explaining the situation.

Lanimer is immediately taken with her and assures her they will work it out when he arrives. During the six-month space journey to Zevus Mar, they communicate and fall in love before they even meet in person. While their relationship is everything they hoped it would be, political unrest mars their daily life and could end in tragedy. Will they be able to prevent this?

I enjoyed reading Lanimer's and Evalee's story. It was interesting. I especially liked the twist of why there was tension between the different groups....

Lanimer lost his parents when he was very young but thankfully his governess was able to get him to his parent's good friend. They raised him and he became a doctor. He's also a telepath. He receives a job offer on Zevus Mar. He has wanted to return home for a long time.
Evalee is a hybrid, an empath and was raised on Zevus Mar. She's an overworked Dr, and the clinic she works at put out the job offer. Evalee starts messaging back and forth with Lanimer, initially to let him know of the unrest in the area, but as they continue to message it becomes so much more.
With the plot twists, danger, and growing connections, this story takes our characters through a lot to reach a well deserved happy ending.
