Sadly I think this will be my first and last Viehl book. I’d read all of Viehl’s romances written under the name Gena Hale (think classic Linda Howard) and was told there was some romance in Stardoc so I thought it would be the least painful. They pounced on my Sci-Fi phobia and gave me a list of Sci-Fi books to choose from for this Guest Dare including Stardoc by S. Enter the nefarious duo known as Ana and Thea aka The Book Smugglers. But despite actually liking those two and really liking Sci-Fi TV and movies, I’ve avoided this genre in books like I avoid taking showers with my hairdryer. I think I’ve read two-count them two-science fiction novels in my entire life: Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card which my older brother relentlessly bullied me into trying (yes, it was good) and The Host by Stephenie Meyer because it was touted as science fiction for people who don’t like science fiction (again, it was good). It is in fact, one of our first reviews ever (#11, back when we counted our reviews) Why did we RECOMMEND this book: Thea read and really enjoyed Stardoc.
Stand alone or series: First in the Stardoc series (7 books total) But the truth behind her expertise is a secret which, if discovered, could have disastrous consequences between human and alien relations… Her surgical skills are desperately needed on a hostile frontier world with over 200 sentient species–and her understanding of alien physiology is nothing short of miraculous. Cherijo Grey Veil leaves Earth and accepts a position as a physician at Kevarzanga-2’s FreeClinic. Upon learning about her Sci-Fi phobia, we dared her to read the Sci Fi novel Stardoc.ĭr. It was too good an opportunity to pass, and dare her we did. A few weeks ago she wrote a post about her favourite feature from other bloggers ( well worth checking, by the way) and wouldn’t you know…our very own Guest Dare was one of them. This month’s daree is Abigail from the blog All Things Urban Fantasy.

Welcome to guest dare! For those new to the feature, our Guest Dare is a monthly endeavor in which we invite an unsuspecting victim to read a book totally outside of their comfort zone.
