Space Pets

by Darrell Bain

The highly anticipated sequel to The Pet Plague... The Pet Plague began on earth with genetically engineered pets with near-human intelligence getting loose and practically overrunning the world, with perhaps the only chance for salvation a downed alien spaceship. Now in Space Pets, Jamie Da Cruz and his buxom girlfriends, along with his loyal animal companions, Fuzzy Britches the multihued cat and Woggly the dog are forced by circumstances into exploring other worlds suitable for humans in an untested spaceship. Their quest is complicated by enemy humans aboard who want the ship for themselves and will use any means--including sexual seduction of Jamie--to capture it. Space Pets is an epic, erotic journey in search of a new home for humanity--but in the end it might turn out that earth is still the best the universe can offer, if only it can be tamed again! Watch for more stories to come in The Pet Plague Universe.

About the author

I grew up in an extremely poor family that was dysfunctional in many ways. We lived in the old segregated south, an era many of my readers have no knowledge of. This and a hardscrabble existence as well as an addictive personality gene(s) that apparently runs in our family shaped my life and played a part in me finally realizing a life-long dream and becoming a writer when I was about fifty years old. This autobiography, now in print and ebook both was begun in response to fans wanting to know more about me, and eventually one of my publishers thought it might make an interesting book. Many members from Betty’s side of the family were amazed at all the things they hadn’t known about me. You can judge for yourself now whether my publisher had the right idea of me doing an autobiography. I hope you are both entertained and possibly that some of you will learn a number of life’s lessons that I discovered the hard way!

[Wilson E. Stevens Sr. · Rating 4 out of 5]

As far as I can tell, this is book 3 in the series. I enjoyed the 3 books, but do find room to criticize the overall plot of ecology disaster as a result of insect increases because of birds dying out. The genesets would have thought to improve the survivability of birds as a way to make inroads into insects. They would have also modified bats to enable them to live and cover a wider range, and an increase in intelligence. The possibly would have also modified some to feed during daylight hours to further destroy insects. Other than that, the overall series was well done. At least two more books can easily be written to extend the series.
