When they meet, however, it’s an immediate clash of cultures as well as personalities--plus a heavy dose of instant attraction! Refusing to admit that he has fallen in love with a hated Terran, Sinbad reluctantly takes Andi on a journey that will carry them halfway across the galaxy, where the part-feline smuggler will call on some old friends for help and face one deadly enemy with an old score to settle. In their search for Andi’s husband, they’ll uncover a secret invasion that threatens to destroy the war-torn Terran Federation, and will learn that it doesn’t matter how long a person loves but simply that he does love. (Blurb borrowed from the publisher's buy page for this book) </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I have to say I enjoyed this story very much. The world the characters live in isn't one I'd like to find myself in but it's quite unique and very well done. I had no trouble visualizing the scenes and liking the characters, particularly Sinbad.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p></p> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';"><a href="http://pennyash.blogspot.com/2008/11/sinbads-last-voyage.html"><span class="yshortcuts">http://pennyash.blogspot.com/2008/11/sinbads-last-voyage.html</span></a></span>
