Summaries

"While working as a mercenary, a storm at sea transports him to the realm of Lightside. The Healer Raylin, tries to help him adjust the simpler way of life and teach him to be less selfish. During another freak storm, Bodie rescues Raylin who is in the path of a flash flood, but is so severely injured Raylin has to send him back to his own world to save his life. Bodie gives up the mercenaries and joins CI5."[1]

"B shipwrecks while gunsmuggling with another merc. He comes to in a strange out-of-this-world realm, Lightslide. There, people are peaceful and loving, and B feels very at odds. He starts a relationship with the Healer Raylin, who loves him but despairs of B ever seeing things less self-interestedly. Just as B is starting to feel again, he gets hurt to save Raylin, who has to send him back to his world because he cant heal him there. Dejectedly they have to part, and B wakes up in a military ship, saved from his shipwreck - no trace of Lightslide. B gets back to England, and keeps Raylin's priceless necklace as a memory instead of selling it for money. In the Epilogue, B wakes up and gets ready for his first day at work with CI5 and a new partner."[2]


Reactions and Reviews

... there hasn't been a sequel yet that does justice to it, dammit! Raylin is a delight.[3]

I'm a sucker for a good fantasy. This is a terrific fantasy. I only wish Essence had done it justice.[4]
