I have Sue Lyndon visiting today, talking about her new book Commander's Slave. She leaves us hanging in her excerpt, guess you'll all just have to buy her book :)
Sue:
I
might sound a little crazy when I say this, but I truly hope that the
human race makes contact with an intelligent alien species within my
lifetime. Seriously, I’d die with a grin on my face if something so
awesome happened while I was around to witness it. Imagine it
unfolding in the news. Imagine huddling around the television and
staring at the screen in wonder, knowing that you were watching one
of the greatest, most important events in history happen before your
eyes.
In
my new science fiction erotic romance, Commander’s
Slave,
the year is 2070 and Earth has been in contact with dozens of aliens
species for the last fifty years. One of those alien species, the
Kall, have just conquered Earth and decreed in a “peace treaty”
that a series of arranged marriages must take place between humans
and Kall. In Commander’s Slave, First Daughter Betsy Carson runs
off in hopes of escaping such an arranged marriage, and as a result
she’s charged with crimes she didn’t commit and sold as a slave
on the Kall homeworld.
Excerpt:
The
day of the auction had arrived.
The
midday sun beat down on Betsy’s arms and breasts. Dizzy and
drenched in sweat, she licked her dry lips and pressed a manacled
hand to her empty stomach, too hungry and hot to care anymore about
her nakedness. The weight of the iron bands dug into her wrists. Her
head dropped and she swayed, but she was jostled into wakefulness as
the line of condemned slaves ahead of her moved forward, all of them
naked with their wrists bound. Tracking devices had been implanted in
all the humans as they exited the Merrina,
vanquishing her dreams of escape. She was the last in line and had
stood in the sweltering heat for hours in the middle of the alien
town. Her ears rang with the shouts of the crowd, the huge Kall men
waving bags filled with rattling coins.
For
a race so technologically advanced, they were quite primitive. Even
on the battlefield, they preferred primitive methods. They used their
technology to disable all human weapons—from guns to ground weapons
to air defense—and then swooped down in their ships with swords
drawn and axes swinging. She recalled a video she’d seen on the
Internet from the first few minutes of their invasion, with American
soldiers attempting to shoot at an advancing army of Kall only to
discover their artillery wouldn’t fire. The Kall then hacked them
to pieces with their primitive yet deadly weapons. It wasn’t long
before world leaders, including her father, began discussing a
surrender.
The
line moved again and she stepped forward, staring at the back of the
human man in front of her. About a dozen people remained ahead of
her, waiting to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. She dared a
glance at the crowd and shuddered when a large Kall with long black
hair made a crude face at her, wagging his tongue in what could only
be considered a sexual advance. Her eyes widened when he held up a
money bag and pointed at her.
Ice
filled her veins as she stared at the awful man. She shook her head,
trying to recover from her shock, trying not to feel disgust as his
gaze moved over her naked flesh. She shot him a hateful look before
returning her attention to the line.
A
woman with long brown hair tangled in knots stepped up on the auction
block, and the auctioneer danced and hollered on the podium as the
bidding commenced. Two distinctive voices rose from the crowd, two
Kall men caught in a bidding war that lasted several minutes. Betsy
shut her eyes as another wave of nausea swept over her, and she held
her breath and prayed she didn’t become ill. She’d need her
strength.
The
next four auctions passed quickly, all men. Her stomach lurched when
the man in front of her wobbled up to the block, his hands shaking as
he climbed the stone steps. Sweat trickled down his bony, bent back.
The auctioneer pointed to the sickly man as foreign words tumbled
from his mouth, until finally the crowd offered a handful of bids.
The auction lasted less than a minute.
She
watched wide-eyed as the crowd parted and the winning bidder appeared
to grab his slave by the arm, leading him off to his new life.
She
was next.
Blurb:
Only
the fiercest alien warrior can tame her human heart…
After
the destruction of the peace treaty between Earth and the invading
Kall, First Daughter of the United States Betsy Carson is convicted
for crimes she did not commit in an act of political revenge.
Sentenced to a lifetime of slavery on the Kall homeworld, she expects
the rest of her days to be a constant struggle for survival, and when
she finds herself naked on the auction block, staring into the eyes
of a disgusting Kall who’s made the opening bid, she prays for
anything but the misery and despair of being his. Fortunately, he’s
outbid by a gentle, older man, who brings her to his mountain home as
a gift for his brother, a fierce Kall warrior who loathes humans and
blames them for the deaths of his wife and sons in the war with
Earth. Her hopes to be left alone by her new master are dashed when
he orders her to sleep in his bed, and she soon discovers
disobedience will earn her a firm, bare-bottom spanking from the
strong warrior.
Commander
Edek enjoys disciplining the spirited Betsy, who grows more eager to
submit to his dominance and obey his demands. And he finds owning a
petite human slave has other benefits as well. Her silken red hair,
sparkling blue eyes, and soft curves entice him to forget the past,
and her sweet presence calms the storm of grief raging in his heart.
But his new world is shattered when he arrives home one day to find
her missing, and Edek’s skills as a Kall warrior are put to the
ultimate test…
