A Sci-Fi Romance Series Adventure
By Athena Grayson
Episode 1: Hot Pursuit
Micah Ariesis is a wanted man. Pursued across the star system by the Huntress, helpless as his brethren are brought down one by one, he's got no options left but to gamble his future on a sketchy revolutionary plot aimed at the empire's heart, but the mystery surrounding the Huntress's legendary skill puts danger to a much closer heart--his own.
Treska's latest bounty is her last for a reason. Not even her incomparable skills can keep her target from finding cracks in her convictions. It's going to take all her training to protect her principles against his persuasive onslaught.
About The Huntress
She always gets her man...
Ever since she was found in the aftermath of alien attacks, Treska Sivekka has been trained to one purpose--to hunt down threats to the security of the Union that gave her an identity. But when the Union's biggest threat inspires desire, and not fear, it's going to take all her training to protect her principles against his persuasive onslaught.
The Huntress's neuro-collar and repulsor cuffs may keep Micah bound to her mercy, but they can't stop him from challenging her convictions, and the lies she's been told about his people. But when the secrets surrounding her own missing memories begin to reveal themselves, he may be the only one she can trust.
Pursued across the star system by the Huntress, helpless as his psionically-talented brethren were brought down one by one, Micah Ariesis must sacrifice himself in a sketchy revolutionary plot aimed at the Union's heart, but the mystery surrounding his pursuer's mysterious origins puts danger to a much closer heart--his own.
Huntress of the Star Empire is a sci-fi romance series adventure. The first season is now complete, and available in four box sets of 3 episodes each. For more about the series, visit athenagrayson.com/huntress or sign up for the newsletter at bit.ly/AthenaNews

On the Civilized Worlds, the government (called the Union) forbids decadence, including sexual desire and pleasure. This never ends well. People with psychic powers are nabbed and it’s implied that horrible things happen to them offscreen.
Micah has psionic powers and enjoys sex. He’s a member of the Restoration, who work against this fairly new anti-hedonic regime. All of this makes him a wanted man. He makes himself bait for the government’s Vice Hunters, and their best, the Huntress, always gets her target.
Treska knows she’s hunting down a dangerous criminal called a mindsnake. He has the power to do terrible things to minds and needs to be put away for the good of people. She finds him and is to take him in, but something’s a little off.
The chase itself is fraught and tense. The two tangle, then he breaks loose, then she gives chase again. Vehicle maneuvers, drugged darts, mental tricks, and hand-to-hand combat! I look forward to reading about what happens to prisoner and captor.

Great science fiction with a unique story line about the New Morality and those in the resistance trying to overthrow the strangulation and death of all things beautiful and pleasurable. Because of this, there are some rather graphic sex scenes so if this type of content bothers you this may not be the book for you. However, if you like a book with lots of action, intrigue and great world building this book will not only captivate you but want you to continue reading the rest of the books in the series.

Bummer
I think the story would have been a good one. Unfortunately I stopped about 25% in when two of the characters were engaging in meaningless and quite descriptive sex. Ugh...
