In Surrender, Alien Warriors Book 1, Betsy Carson, the daughter of POTUS, was supposed to marry a Kall warrior, a member of an alien race who conquered Earth. But when she ran off, another woman had to step in and fulfill her duty. Now in Commander’s Slave, Alien Warriors 2, Betsy has to pay the piper. Angry because she weaseled, a Kall court convicts her on trumped up charges, she is transported to the Kall planet,  and she is auctioned off as a slave.I think Commander’s Slave is Sue Lyndon’s best sci-fi romance so far. The attention to world-building and setting enriched the story. The likable characters engaged me, the pacing moved quickly, the author used active voice in her writing (yay!), and the action scenes were dramatic. I also found the caring that Edek (the hero) had for Betsy to be touching.On a side note, Commander’s Slave has the tone of an age play story. Although Betsy is 26, her adoration for Edek felt childlike and his coddling behavior toward her seemed “Daddy-like.”  Not a complaint, just an observation.All in all, an engaging, fast-paced read.
