Salvation by Lea Kirk

5.0

Steamy futuristic romance

Seven years have passed since the Anferthian invasion of Terr, as Earth is now called. Nick Bock, a lapsed healer, sought to escape the changing political climes and zone out rebuilding Terr’s music library, but the universe had other ideas. Soon he and a novice healer, Sakura Yamata, are embedded with the dissenters, a group of Anferthian warriors who opposed the invasion and kept Earth’s people from being completely annihilated.

The dissenters are very much in need of healing. They are growing ill at an alarming rate and conventional medical wisdom hasn’t helped. It’s up to the healers to suss out the problem, create an antidote, and to shut down the route of infection, all under the radar from a faction that now wants the dissenters dead.

Nick and Saku are opposites in many ways, but there’s no denying the spark of attraction that flares between them throughout the story. I had to keep reading to learn what would happen next. An engrossing action/adventure story set in a vastly different future world.

I received an advance copy of this book with no expectation of a review.
