Exclusive Excerpts

Excerpt:
 

“Our planet is going to explode.” Chance tried to keep the panic from his tone, but failed. He stood and began pacing as the news sank into his brain.

In all the text-volumes he’d read, he’d never heard of anything like this happening. But he wasn’t much into astronomy. Planets died and beings had to evacuate to others, but he had never heard of galaxies colliding. Save Our Planetary Systems’ sole purpose was to help those who had to move from an unsafe planet. He would have to make an appointment with their council immediately.

“Our planet has a few solar-years, Sire, but we should begin our planning now. We should have realized this when Planet Shipten’s moon appeared in our orbit.”

“Explain to me again what the frogs have to do with this, Patricia.” Chance’s insides felt as though they’d dropped out of him. The news was more ominous than he could have ever imagined.

“Amphibians breathe through their skin and are affected by drastic changes in the atmosphere. I’m guessing, by now many of our beings are beginning to have breathing problems as well. I should contact the Department of Restorative Services.”

“The DRS is going to panic the people. We cannot contact them yet. Will the inhabitants die?”

“We don’t know that for certain, my king, but the frogs are dead, which means the atmosphere is greatly affected.” The general looked to Patricia.

She closed the immense packet of data and looked from the general to Chance.

“They’re not in danger of dying imminently, but they’ll worsen as time progresses. When the atmosphere becomes so thin that it’s difficult to breathe, most will take to the underground, but then the collision will destroy the entire planet. If our inhabitants survive the thinning atmosphere, they’ll surely die from the impact of other planets.”

“We should find another planet to occupy as soon as possible. Moving our people will take months, if not longer. I will begin handling the details of our evacuation.”

“Very well, General. I will contact SOPS and begin looking for another planet. Keep me informed of this situation,” Chance said.

The scientist and the general left his office, and Chance immediately pressed his communicator; he needed to contact Save Our Planetary Systems and beg for their aid. The only problem was Kion wasn’t part of its interplanetary league.

After an unsuccessful conversation with SOPS, he disconnected his communicator and stood by the viewer of his office. He looked out at the mountains that surrounded his home, at the lush, beautiful, doomed planet of Kion. He had to save all its inhabitants before the destruction began.

Only one planet was close enough to consider evacuating to: Vestalumbria. There was only one problem with that—it was a planet ruled by females, and they never allowed males to enter their orbit. From what he knew about the planet, the queen wasn’t influenced by outsiders, but she had a daughter who was. From the universe’s tabloids he’d learned about Princess Valeen and had found out a little of her personality.

He would have his agents investigate the planet, and then he’d make the daughter an offer she couldn’t refuse.

Reviews

Cosmic Hearts is appropriately titled because it seems Chance will be chasing Valeen all over the cosmos. In the end this story will just be an affair of the hearts. The settings in this story vary from planet to planet. The author does a good job in bringing the settings to life through her descriptive writing. The characters are likeable and fully developed while the dialogue and interactions between the characters are well scripted. The plot of the story is simple and easy to follow and the story is filled with humor. I especially enjoyed the personal attendant moderator, known as PAM. This story will keep you laughing to the very end. The sex in this story is plentiful and very creative. The passion described between the two main characters is explosive. I recommend this story on the basis that it is a hilariously funny, excitingly sexy read.

 4.0 out of 5 stars Cosmic Hearts , March 23, 2009

 

Action, adventure and romance bring Cosmic Hearts to life for readers. This futuristic tale has a steady, solid plotline with a dying planet, talking computers, space pirates and much more. I found Cosmic Hearts to be a charming, delightful and tame love story. I do think however that references to music,phrases and other things from `old Earth' were too many and put me in the present instead of up in the stars. Cosmic Hearts has few surprises yet it is a pleasing tale for readers who prefer a more gentle futuristic romance.
