Alien Blood is the second book in the Diaspora World series but it works as a stand alone. This is not a fast action, shoot'em up sci-fi, it's more about the relationship between the main characters. I'm not saying there weren't action scenes in the book but they weren't the focus of the story. Alien Blood reminded me of some of my favorite sci-fi movies where the characters have to entertain an audience. But it was better because that didn't drag out all through the book and they were able to form a relationship and figure out how to recue themselves. It starts with the two of them on a planet and have to earn credits by audience approval. They have to work together to survive.It drew me in and made me interested in what happened with the characters. Even when the action was slow there was still something going on, the characters weren't idle and we learned bits and pieces of their individual stories and about where they were. Kellac could have been a jerk because he's a PureGen but he treated Gema with respect and encouraged her to do what she could do. Besides, what's better than a heroine who can pull her own weight and get things done! I'm really looking forward to more books in the Diaspora Worlds series!I received this book with the request of an honest review. I can honestly say that I will be reading more from Ms. Aires.
