Can Faine accomplish the miracle he's hoping for and find a way for them to escape? Will Farah ever agree to become his claimed mate?FAINE is the 20th book in the Badari Warriors world (the seventeenth in the numbered main series) and each novel or novella has a satisfying Happy for Now ending for the hero and heroine, not a cliffhanger. Genetically engineered soldiers of the far future, the Badari were created by alien enemies to fight humans. The scientists kidnapped an entire human colony from the Sectors to use as subjects in twisted experiments...the Badari packs and the humans made common cause, rebelled and escaped the labs. Now they live side by side in a sanctuary valley protected by a powerful Artificial Intelligence, and wage unceasing war on the aliens. Some overarching issues do remain unresolved in each book since this is an ongoing series but romance always wins the day in my novels!
