Thrift Store Book Club: "Moondust and Madness"

Today's book-that-I-bought-at-a-thrift-store is Moondust and Madness by Janelle Taylor.



From the back cover:

"SLAVE TO HER OWN DESIRE
Commander Varian Saar had come from a place beyond imagining and claimed Jana for his own. His powerful hand left a fiery trail across her ivory skin, his cobalt eyes possessed her with their unrestrained longing...and now her fate rested in his quicksilver grasp. Forbidden partners ...forbidden love...and soon their mad, tumultuous union became a pledge as boundless as the universe itself, a promise to seek their future among the glittering stars."

Varian Saar (pictured above) is commander of the ship Wanderlust. I'll wait a moment to let your boner subside and/or nipples retreat.  While visiting Earth, you know, for the standard abductions and anal probings, he discovers Jana, whom he views as the most beautiful being in the universe and a prize for his home planet.


So he does what any highly intelligent being of a race capable of interstellar travel does: he kidnaps her and forces upon her many sexual advances.  And like any born and bread American girl in a romance novel, she receives these sexual advances at first unwillingly.  But then 2 seconds later, after a hand across his tight rippled stomach, she's ready for a roll in the space hay.


But things are complicated, as highlighted by this passage...


"Jana watched him closely with fathomless eyes (Andy's note: these eyes are without fathom, there is no fathom here, fathom departed from these eyes long ago).  She had piqued his curiosity.  If she couldn't have him, damn him for abducting her and selling her!  Damn him for opening her to pervasive longings!"


Yes, damn those pervasive longings! And then, many hundreds of skipped pages later, weird shit like this goes down...


He entered her.  Time and time again he drove savagely into her receptive body.  "Anything you wish, my beloved Shara."  The moment of his climax, as always (Andy's note: as always = YAWN), he feasted greedily on his mother's breast (Andy's note: what the f...) as if he were a starving baby.  Rolling his sated body aside, he replied dishonestly.  "You give me all I need.  How could Varian's alien whore compare with Princess Shara Triloni?"


Ah, the next specialized section to be added at Barnes & Noble after Vampire/Supernatural Romance: the Sci-Fi Incest section.  Well, I can't think of a better place to stop, take a cold shower, and scrub down with steel wool until the blood clogs the drain, can you?
