This writer has yet to disappoint me and her latest, Sub Zero, is high up in my list of favorite MM sci-fi romance. This may not be a full novel but it packs alot in every single page. From the very beginning when I read that Major Aren Dalsgaard has been revived from the dead hundreds of years later I am hooked. As I type this review I am suffering from lack of sleep for finishing this late into the night.Sub zero takes place in the same universe asGravitational Attractionbut Sub Zero is a total stand alone story. This writer's world building skills is amazing. This ice cold world with its rightful inhabitants of a different human specie, genetically altered to fit men's greedy purpose, is just fascinating. The plot is tightly paced with no wasted word and a grand example of a perfect blend of sci-fi, mystery and romance, with the right amout of drama and suspense. It is also a poignant account of Aren's struggle to adapt to a world now devoid of everything he once held dear including his dead lover.Aren's suffering, acceptance of his loss and recovering his once formal formidable self to fight for justice and his beliefs is so well told. His romance with Nyachung is lovely and heart warming. Nyachung is equally appealing, as this endearing "diminuative" tale singer give his all to love Aren and help his own people long suppressed by heartless and greedy corporations.And how could I not mention Emma. Sergeant Emma Wickstrom have to be the most likable female supporting character I have encountered in the MM romances I have read so far. Strong, loyal, with a great sense of right and wrong, she is Aren's pillar as this military soldier protects and guards her charge as they manuevered through a hostle and foreign world. Really love Sub Zero. Even if the story is complete I do want to visit this three characters again. And keep your stories coming, Angel Martinez.
