Mountie and Plague Hunter Find Love in the Tundra in this Futuristic Romance
|
DAY OF FIRE by Kathleen Nance is the second novel in a sci-fi romance series that takes place in the year 2176. Set in post-plague Canada, it's the story of a female Mountie on a mission to find out who murdered her partner and the hunky Chinook medical doctor who accompanies her. His quest is to find out if a new virus is on the loose in Canada.
First, I'd like to say upfront that the author has a vivid imagination and really brings alive a future in which Canada is an isolated country that was decimated by disease. The little details were interesting, from the Mountie code of living to the Chinook Indian rituals, and made the story (with its science-fiction setting) feel real and plausible.
That said, unfortunately, the author spent so much time discussing details and the murder plot that the book reads real S.L.O.W. And I mean slow. Wow, it took me 2 weeks to get through this sci-fi romance, and at one point I even considered setting it aside to read something else. It took too long for the hero and heroine to get passionate and it spent too much time on the murder plot rather than the relationship, so much that it lost my interest and I forced myself to finish.
Anyway, this book is a must-read if you are interested in reading the 2176 series. The entire series includes book #1 THE LEGEND OF BANZAI MAGUIRE by Susan Grant, #2 DAY OF FIRE by Kathleen Nance, #3 THE SHADOW RUNNERS by Liz Maverick, #4 THE POWER OF TWO by Patti O'Shea, and #5 THE SCARLET EMPRESS by Susan Grant.
Altogether, I'd say DAY OF FIRE is an alright read. The descriptions and setting are fantastic, but the romance is overwhelmed by the murder/politics and the pacing is super slow.
