By Mahaira
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jarek san Ranul is fully aware of the fate of his people, the Shielders. The Controllers massacred most of the Shielders fearing their powers -- they are genetically resistant to Controllers' mind power. Any individual who shows the gift of mind power is put to death. The few survivors were scattered. Jarek finds evidence of a wormhole, a vortex to another galaxy, which can provide escape and he needs help to open it to find SHAMARA for his people.

Eirene Kane is Enhancer, one of a genetic few with a powerful gift. Enhancers can enter a mental plane of existence where thoughts are communicated to others even though their bodies might be light years apart. She is hiding her identity and a dark secret and on the run from her dangerous uncle who has traded her virginity for a trade route. Her flight hurls her into the arms of Jarek, a man who steals her heart and uncovers her secret.

Shamara is an engaging Futuristic romance filled with passion and love so much so that sub-genre fans will enjoy feasting on the tale. The magic of this novel lies in the characters who seem so real that Ms. Spangler must have met them in some far away place rather than her fertile imagination. Oh, what a set of secondary characters SHAMARA has, you will laugh your way through Lani's part in this book, right down to the unconventional stuff she did at the end. The fast-paced story line is exciting and the insight into many exciting characters is cleverly intermingled into the plot. Let me just say this, if you want a sensual book with tons of excitement, and thrills; this is the series for you. So hang onto your hearts and get set for a memorable, fast-paced tale that puts Catherine Spangler on your must read list!

5.0 out of 5 stars SHAMARA - THE BEST SO FAR 29 Aug 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
OUT OF ALL THE BOOKS CATHERINE SPANGLER HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THE STRUGGLES OF THE SHEILDERS, "SHAMARA" FOR ME IS THE BEST SO FAR.
JAREK SAN RANUL, ESENTIALLY KIDNAPS EIRENE BECAUSE HE BELIEVES HER TO BE AN ENHANCER - THOSE WITH SPECIAL GIFTS WHO CAN SUPPOSEDLY HEAL. BUT RANUL BELIEVES THERE IS A WORMHOLE THAT LEADS TO "SHAMARA" - A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN LIVE IN PEACE.
AND THAT IS WHAT HE IS SEARCHING FOR, FOR HIS PEOPLE - THE SHEILDERS. A RACE ALOMOST EXTINCT DUE TO THE CONTROLLERS.
HE NEEDS EIRENE BECAUSE AS AN ENHANCER SHE IS ABLE TO HELP THEM THROUGH THE WORMHOLE AND INTO PEACE. BUT EIRENE IS RELUCTANT TO HELP, BECAUSE SHE FEARS OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO HER. ENHANCERS ARE A RACE EXTINCT - BUT THERE ARE A GENETIC FEW WHO ARE BORN WITH THIS POWERFUL GIFT. SHE FIGHTS HER ATTRACTION TO RANUL ALL THE WHILE WANDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO FIND "SHAMARA".
THIS SERIES HAS GROWN AND GROWN IN STRENGH AND FINALLY SOME QUESTIONS ARE EXPLAINED IN THIS BOOK - THE MOST ESSENTIAL BEING - WHY ARE THE SHEILDERS SO FEARED BY THE CONTROLLERS?
THIS AND MANY MORE QUESTIONS ARE FINALLY PUT TO REST IN THIS BOOK.
I SHALL MISS THIS SERIES WHEN IT ENDS, AS IT IS INTELLIGENT AND ENTERTAINING THROUGH OUT AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION ( i particularly enjoyed lani being held hostage by the leor's commander gunnar - very funny).
AN IMAGINATIVE AND CHARISMATIC SCI-FI ROMANCE.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars sheer brilliance from Spangler 27 May 2005
By Deborah MacGillivray HALL OF FAME VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Shamara is the third in the 'Shielder series' book by the very talented Catherine Spangler. She started out in Futuristic Romance back when it was still getting its wings and her Shielder books helped define and set the standard for this genre. Spangler gives you George Lucas fantasy Off-World planets, and then proceeds to make you see them through her eyes. Her vivid writing conveys every detail of their world, allows you to experience it But more so, she never forgets the romance. She always gives you very human characters. Not the perfect hero and heroine, but very down to earth...well, very human characters with flaws. It's through these flaws you get the emotions, the involvement that won't let a reader put her stories down.

In Shamara, the third in the series (though they are stand alone and can be read out of order you enjoy them more if you do them in order). On the planet Travern the women are little better than slaves, so it's not surprising when Eirene Kane is told by her greedy uncle she is going to be bartered away as a virgin bride to the powerful Leors. On her planet she has no rights, yet she pleads with her uncle to reconsider her fate. She argues she is s healer. He merely laughs that her virginity was worth more to him. In her 'mind-seeing', she learns that she in an Enhancer, and that her future spouse will learn this secret sealing her doom.

The Controllers, the rules of this quadrant, has wiped out the Enhancers, though obviously they missed a few here and there. So Eirene must hide that she is one. Desperate to escape her fate, she knows she must rid herself of her virginity, so she enters a pleasure dome where she meets a Shielder, Jarek san Ranual.

The Controllers have been destroying the Shielder colonies, and Jarek was left for dead....

Spangler just won a RITA nomination for Shadow Fires, the latest Shielder book, and small wonder. Shamara demonstrates the unbelievable brilliance with which Spangler conjures these far away worlds. It's a powerful, moving book that just doesn't get any better than this. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Story - Great Characters 25 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the story of two lovers divided by the war between England and America.

They fight for their countries, fight each other and themselves. I loved to read this book,... you never know what will happen next and that keeps you on your toes.

Finnaly they overcame their differences to be together,... Shamara is a strong will woman, capable of fighting the man she loves for what she believes.
