Foreword.

This is, believe it or not, a love story. I know, I had no idea when I started it. I wish someone would tell me these things in advance. I didn't even know I wrote romance! Amazing what you find out.

However, it's also a sci-fi story and, maybe more importantly, a lust story, and as such has many adult, “bad” things in it.

We're talking: swearing, violence, sex, torture, brutality, kinky sex, adult themes, gore, dark thoughts, sex, dark actions and, did I mention sex?

Anyway, if you're squeamish , or 'get offended' in any of these areas, I'd depart right if now if I were you.

You've been warned.
