Review of Captain's Harvest by T.J. Land

The Captain's Harvest (Adrift #5) by T.J. Land 2*
BLURB: The long-suffering crew of the Prayer have found a home. They’ve got a harvest. Now it’s time for a holiday. But while the captain was looking forward to a day spent lying on his back, he’d wanted it to be as a result of a prolonged food-and-sex coma, not arthritis…
My Review: I was gifted a copy of the book for review purposes. So what can I say about 40 pages worth of book #5? Well one thing I can say is that at least you learn more about the past of most of the characters whilst they search for something to help the Captain's Arthritis. However there wasn't a lot of action nor very much of anything else really. I felt it was almost a stop gap read, like eating an eclair when you really wanted roast beef - sweet, light and fluffy but no true substance. Hopefully the next one will be a little more interesting.

Short review of The Captain's Promise by TJ Land.

The Captain's Promise (Adrift #4) by T.J. Land 3*
BLURB: Now that the crew of The Prayer have settled down on an uninhabited alien world, their captain intends for them to forge a new life for themselves. But Khurshed's plans are interrupted when the ship receives a distress call from a nearby planet. While most of his lovers are excited by the prospect of making contact with their new neighbors, First Officer Antoine argues that responding might endanger the crew. As it turns out, his fears are well placed…
My Review: I was given a copy from Ninestar Press for review purposes. A new chapter in the saga about the men (and sometimes the women) of starship The Prayer. Although this time it was not told from the captain's point of view but from that of a number of the men. But that didn't detract from anything as it was still a great, sexy short story that set me up nicely for a night of great dreams. I was also surprised at some of the revelations that came out in this one, but you will have to read it yourselves if you want to know what they are. If you haven't read the first three books I recommend you do so before reading this one as the series is one that will only make sense when read in order. However, as they are not too expensive and are really hot and enjoyable, it shouldn't be a hardship to do so.
