Jenala Delasa is a woman who is an expert with the sword. Since the murder of her father she has been constantly in fear of her life. On this other world their kalcion mine is rumored to be very rich and one of the most unscrupulous men Zlaten Vandalar has been trying to take it from her. He has some claim to the mine and her through a prior arrangement with Jenala’s father of which she had no knowledge.Santro Baltin happens upon Jenala in a sword fight with Zlaten the man he has been looking for around town. His appearance distracts Jenala, and Zalten gets in a wounding blow. He then runs, saying he will be back for her when she heals.Santro and Jenala are attracted to each other and their future couplings are quite steamy. For their love to flourish they have to find the rich vein of kalcion and defeat Zalten.This scifi romance is full of action, steamy romance and contradictions that bothered this reviewer. While there are ray blasters (outlawed so only bad guys have them), medical healing wands and salves that close wounds but they still carry and fight with swords. Travel is accomplished with beasts of burden and digging in mines is done by hand. The world seems a little confused between the primitive and advancements which took me out of some of the action at times.
