Dark Space
Genre: Science Fiction & Space Opera, LGBT
Brady Garrett needs to go home. He€s a conscripted recruit on Defender Three, one of a network of stations designed to protect the Earth from alien attack. He's also angry, homesick, and afraid. If he doesn€t get home he€ll lose his family, but there€s no way back except in a body bag.
Cameron Rushton needs a heartbeat. Four years ago Cam was taken by the Faceless €" the alien race that almost destroyed Earth. Now he€s back, and when the doctors make a mess of getting him out of stasis, Brady becomes his temporary human pacemaker. Except they€re sharing more than a heartbeat: they€re sharing thoughts, memories, and some very vivid dreams.
Not that Brady€s got time to worry about his growing attraction to another guy, especially the one guy in the universe who can read his mind. It doesn€t mean anything. It€s just biochemistry and electrical impulses. It doesn€t change the truth: Brady€s alone in the universe.
Now the Faceless are coming and there€s nothing anyone can do. You can€t stop your nightmares. Cam says everyone will live, but Cam€s probably a traitor and a liar like the military thinks. But that€s okay. Guys like Brady don€t expect happy endings.
