What can I say? Kaje Harper does it again. This is a superb paranormal adventure about Roman, a college professor who is trapped in a comatose body but who can somehow "spirit walk" as he tries to escape the trap his body is in. In his darkness, he follows a blue light to the home of Xavier and his sister Tam. Xavier is a computer geek who sold his multi-million dollar e-security company to retire here with his sister, a former cop who is now on a kidney transplant list due to having eaten poisoned food. The time period is mid-21st century so there are many things familiar to us, but many modern advances woven into the story as well. Among them, a national database of potential transplant matches so that if you need one, the list of potential donors is there and you just have to wait for them to be brain-dead (or vice versa, someone who is brain-dead can be easily matched to a living donor.)The romance between Roman and Xavier develops slowly, as it should since Roman is not in a corporeal form, but the main thrust of the story is what happened to Roman and why he is being preserved in a comatose state. And it's about "organ-legging", the selling of body parts to those who need a transplant and can afford to get it ahead of others on the transplant lists. Kaje Harper cleverly weaves intrigue, adventure, desperation, hope, fear, love, and hate into a new reality and brings us a unique and thought-provoking adventure. Of course, being an M/M romance, there is a HEA, or at least a HFN for the guys, but there's so much more along the way that I can highly recommend this one to all lovers of M/M romance. And it's free since she wrote it for the Love's Landscapes Event. How can you go wrong? Kaje did it again! I loved this book. Talk about slow burn. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how this was going to be a HEA. I love the world she created. $30 for a gallon of gas! How far in the future is this??This is the second book of Kaje Harper's I've read. The first one, In Deep Waters, was also a writing prompt book. It was my first m/m romance and I became an immediate convert. I can't wait to read more of her books. Thank you for the unique, thrilling, funny story.
What do You think about Laser Visions (2014)?
Didn't like it. The book went on for far too long and was extremely boring in certain parts.

The story was mildly entertaining but I just didn't connect with it.
