Product Description

Product Description

In this world, trust is hard to find…and the one thing they need to survive. Tobias Smator lives down his late father's execution by avoiding the spotlight-and responsibility. He doesn't mind what people think of him as long as they leave him alone. Still, in this unremarkable half-life he's fashioned for himself on deceptively low-tech Rimania, he's not safe from political intrigue. Someone wants him dead.

Alliance operative Geln Marac's orders for his first assignment were simple: Stay uninvolved. Those orders go out the window, however, when he delivers an antidote to save Tobias from death by poisoning. His reward? Possible betrayal that lands him in the hands of police interrogators. To protect the Alliance, Geln resorts to a temporary mindwipe.


Tobias is fascinated by the amnesiac man who saved his life. But Geln has attracted the attention of the high-powered Lord Eberly, who would use him as a pawn. Rather than sacrifice Geln to the political wolves, Tobias chooses to embrace his heritage.


Geln's memory reawakens to a precarious situation with no source of protection-except Tobias. There's only one way forward for both of them.


Trust-or die.


Warning: this book contains hot nekkid otherplanetary manlove.

Poison 9 Feb 2009
By M. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Much to his mother's dismay, Tobias Smator is not interested in becoming the next Lord, he's happy to leave that privilege to his cousins. But someone wants it badly, badly enough to kill for it, as Tobias found out first hand when he was poisoned and his cousin Serge was knifed to death. Saved by Geln Marac, Tobias finds himself drawn to the stranger who saved his life, wanting to know more about him.

Arel, alias Geln Marac is on his first undercover assignment. The magnitude of the assignment eluded his scope, at first, when he finds himself a hero and a suspect in a murder plot. To keep the Alliance he works for safe Geln Marac resorts to temporary memory loss leaving himself an amnesiac, and needing to trust in Tobias for both their safety.

Poison is a multifaceted Sci-Fi story. It's a very involving and one that I couldn't put down until I completed it. This story incorporates a lot more than romance. There are rules of society that are obeyed and how one set of people is held superior even in a future society. Joely Skye has great talent for writing Sci-Fi and mixing it with an interesting romance of two men who need each other for survival and not just sex. Sci-Fi lovers and Joely Skye fans will not be disappointed with this story, in fact it will leave them wanting more.

Disappointing- Don't bother.. 2 Oct 2009

Is this the abridged version of some epic intergalactic gay romance? (Some editor running amok?)
This is the Cliffs notes of a potentially really good story.
I highly recommend Ms. Skye's other books; there all great, but skip this one.

I went on a Joely Skye binge and read 5 or 6 of her books in a row, which is probably more than any author can bear! I loved her spin on werewolves, and was completely in that world and perhaps that is one reason why transitioning to alien cultures was difficult for me, but I never really got into this book at all. The characters felt underwritten, the culture/world building wasn't rich enough. I didn't really understand why the two main characters related to each other as they did; it seemed all based on impulse and propinquity. There are such fabulously dense and clever fantasy out there, and this didn't rate higher than ok for me. However, the werewolves are worth visiting, she's written quite a few keepers for me, so this is a pass without prejudice :)

If you want a really excellent book on a simliar there, try Elizabeth Bear's Carnival, that's a master work!
