Product Description

Product Description

SHE'D RATHER DIE THAN BE A SLAVE TO THE CONQUERORS OF HER HOME WORLD.

Stella McCoy never thought she'd fall prisoner to the barbarian Hameji. The oldest daughter of a working class family, all she wanted was to finish her apprenticeship and start a career an astrogator. But when the Hameji conquer her home world with their starfaring battle fleets, she is forced against her will to become a concubine to one of their highest ranking warlords.

Stella would rather die than spend the rest of her life as a concubine. Fortunately, as she looks for a chance to escape, she starts to make friends in high places. But in the dangerous world of harem politics, with new friends come new enemies—ones that have the power to destroy her.

SHOLPAN is a 35,000 word (80-120 page) companion novella to BRINGING STELLA HOME, and follows Stella's storyline through the first half of the full length novel. About 25% of the novella contains new material not included in BRINGING STELLA HOME.

WARNING: Contains some adult content including rape and sexual themes. If this were a movie, it would probably be rated PG-13.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, abrupt end 15 Aug 2012
By M.F. Poppins - Published on Amazon.com

I thought this was a well written tale of a girl captured by an enemy and forced into the life of a concubine and forced to live or die by her convictions. Stella, the main character, made me cringe at first because of her helplessness, but as I read, her story arch took off, and she began to grow and find her inner strength. There were times where I felt exasperated with her - much like her bunkmate Tamu but in the end I was glad to see her stand by her convictions.
I felt the pacing was good and so were the characterizations.
However, I didn't like the abrupt end - but I bought this not knowing it was part of a larger group of works that Joe Vasicek has written based on the same characters and universe, and I must say, this book made me want to read more. But as a stand-alone, the ending wasn't satisfying.
I gave it three stars because for me, three stars means that the book did it's job and for the most part I was satisfied.
4 stars is for books that I'm still thinking about the next couple of days.
5 stars are reserved for books I feel are destined to be classics.

So three solid stars for Sholpan! Looking forward to more from this author.

I liked the book. The author describes the characters well and it has a beautiful plot. It's a page-turner. I recommend this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars i want to read more 18 April 2013

I will eventually buy the rest of the series. But it is just a teaser.
An abrupt ending for this book.
