Superintendent Olinnie Tann-Lo and Colonel Keiron Yaggar have kept it strictly professional ever since she became his boss. But when the pair drink some heady Amity Tea with a local tribe on Zeefede, they don’t know that the word “amity” has a second meaning in Zeechaa.
That meaning survives in just two expressions today. One is “amity tea”.
The other one is “a night of amity”.
A NIGHT OF AMITY is a science fiction romance novelette in the Keepers of Xereill series. It is exclusive to Alix Nichols's mailing list and not available for purchase or download anywhere else. To subscribe, visit: http://www.alixnichols.com/freebies.
Going into this, please remember that this is a short story. Now with that said, I did like it. It probably helped that I had read previous books in this series and liked both of the main characters.
This was like a time in between for them. A short interlude for them, if you will. Because so much of their lives had to do with duty and being in charge in different areas. They both had sought and achieved positions of power. And with it came responsibility. Something they both were painfully aware of. And to top it off Olinnie Tann-Lo (Linni) was also Colonel Keiron Yaggar 's boss. We do get each one of their P.O.V.'s as listed in in individual chapters. But it all ended so quicklky. Once again, "short story".
Even though this book is short, the world building when it came to the alien creatures called the Zeechaa was pretty good in detail.
At the end of the book is the first chapter of The Cyborg's Lady (a prequel to the Keepers of Xereill series)
On a final note, I really thought the eBook cover was so attractive. Such a lovely soft look to it.
I was given a copy of this book through the author's newsletter and this is my honest opinion of it.
