This book is an adult LPS play.

This was a bit of a roller-coaster ride for me.
At first I was really engrossed into the other-worldly atmosphere of humans and cat-people, but then after a bit confusion and inconsistencies took its toll.
We have the human Yai, a very submissive young boy who finds comfort in the enslavement willed on him as his life prior to the event leaves much to be desired. And then we have Tryl, a powerful cat-man who is domineering of not only his newly acquired slave, but his own people as well (who he may or may not respect, and who are and are not his companions).
The co-relation between humans and cat-men are not very clear. It has been hinted that Tryl and his fellow cat-men live on a planet separate from humans. But the relationship between them are a bit blurry after that. At first it would seem that humans are a rarity and practical non-existence to this other world. But then, we encounter a trade agreement between the two species where the humans are equipped with translators in order to help with a negotiation that does not seem to be a first-time deal. I lost much of my interest in trying to decipher just what the standing relationship between the two species were.
But it doesn't end there.

Yai, a Uke to the brim, has a personality of Zero, while his owner Tryl has more than even he can handle. He's emotional/he's not emotional, he's violent on a whim/and sometimes he builds it up, he's a powerful intelligent leader but yet he can be pretty dumb.
What do either of them look like? I'm still not very sure...Tryl is furry, Yai has blonde hair and blue eyes...that's about it. What does everyone else look like? Ha, if the main characters were left so vague, don't expect much for the others.

All in all, the story is pretty inconsistent, and jumpy.
It could really have been much better had a specific plot been in mind - some sort of actual direction. ( )

John is a space pilot stranded in a strange planet without memory of his past life. He is hold in captivity by a Tryl, a strong and domineering cat man who makes him his sex slave.

In this strange planet couples are made by a master and a slave and Tryl has decided to finally pairs with this blond hair and pink skin man he calls Yai. Yai is tender and cute, he fears everything, but not this big and impressive cat man, who makes love to him so tenderly. And he also takes care of him and he, for the first time, feels like someone loves him.

Yai is very willingly to accept his new state of slave. He likes Tryl and not objects to be his sex toy. He wants to please him, he likes to please others, and the rewards he receives pleasing Tryl is very sweet. Yai is a strange character, I can't understand how old he is, but he looks to be very young and very naive.

Tryl is a very self-conscious man. He has no doubt he will take Yai has slave and that Yai will not deny him. He is a leader and he really thinks that being his slave Yai will have a better quality of live than he has had previosly. If not for the gentle manners he has for Yai, he would be a very irritating character. But he is so gentle and caring with Yai, that you forgive everything to him.

This is a really classical yaoi story. The very elements of the genre are abundantly used in the plot: the cute uke, with watery eyes and shy behaviour, the strong seme, tall and powerful, who pleased his slave but also punished him when necessary, brings pleasure with pain.

Even if pretty short, it is an arousing tale with two complete characters who remind me of an old 'bodice-ripper' romance, The Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey.

This was a great story - futuristic, with an intriguing premise. "Yai" is a human pilot that crashes on a planet of cat-people. He is taken as a slave by their alpha leader, Tryl. But, what will happen when Yai's people come looking? Will he stay with the one he has come to love, or leave?

Despite the short length (this was a long novella), I came to care about the characters. I can only hope there will be more adventures with these two. Would I have preferred a lower price, certainly. But I would happily pay $10 again knowing what I was getting, a story worth re-reading again and again. Well written and highly recommended. ( )
