A.C. Katt

The Sarrans return home from Earth in triumph, having gained many new Earthen fems, coffee, chocolate, and cats. Senator Samuel Johnson joins his grandson Michael, his daughter Sara, and her WarriorPair on Sarran. To his delighted surprise, he bonds irrevocably with Tarin, one of Sarran's top engineers. Tarin had been bonded before and thought he would never experience a bond again, yet Sam's love gives him a new lease on life. Now they only hope the Goddess has a fem for them. Then the Sarran Elders host a mixer for Sarran warriors to meet the Earthen fems. Margaret Mary O'Neil, Meg to her friends, is a talented woman who fled to Sarran like so many Earth women looking for a new life. When she meets Sam and Tarin, her life changes forever. But while things are looking up for the Sarrans, with new babies being born and WarriorPairs settling down, their enemy the Zyptz are relentless in their efforts to wipe them out. When the Zyptz attack both Sarran and Earth, the mutual dependence between the two becomes ever more evident.

The Sarran Senator

::Yes, as a matter of fact, that’s new and it’s made, not fabricated. I wanted one place to sit without memories. The same for the bed. I’m the only Warrior that has slept there.::


“And now Midnight. There is the door. Our cat tree is here.” It took both men to carry the tree inside. They put it in the library so Midnight could be with them in the evenings until they moved to the Duchy.


Midnight came out of the slumber chamber, stretching. ::Is that my cat tree?::


::I have superior persons. This is indeed a fitting cat tree for a cat my size. Thank you. I also spy a bed. If you will move that into the slumber chamber, I’ll sleep after I patrol the house and garden for bancs.::


::We’ll probably be asleep when you come home, so good moontine to you.::


The door opened and Midnight went outside on patrol.


“Come, my fox, let’s make love.” Tarin grabbed Sam’s hand and led him into the slumber chamber.
