This was the longest and my least favorite of the thirty-some books I've read by Dixon. I would have DNFed, but I wanted to know what happened to the slaves/slavers. I like long books, but I didn't like Helen's character at all. She's very "touch him and die" without any knowledge that she's doing something wrong. Most morally gray characters know it's wrong and they've made peace with it, but Helen has no idea that killing (described on page) multiple people is a problem on any level. Add that to the very repetitive talk about how "innocent and dangerous" she is, and I was bored (and a little creeped out). The spicy scenes were boring, too. Helen literally came after he touched her twice.
