Very Good Everything

I really loved the story of this book as well as the steamy scenes. Very good descriptions and the author really brings you into the book. I am already ordering her other books from this author.

Warlord fan

I loved this series by Angela Knight! I think that anyone who enjoys adventure and fantasy with have fun reading this book.

another winner from Angela Knight!

I read WARRIOR first (though it is book two), so I had a basis in this world from that. I like Angela's vampires, but this is my favorite of her series, by far, and ENFORCER and future books are auto-buys for me. WARLORD is made up of four distinct stories, and I was glad to have the chance to read all of them! JANE'S WARLORD is the novel centerpiece of the omnibus. It's the story of Riane Arvid's parents. Jane runs a newspaper in the 21st Century. Baran Arvid is dropped in her time by the rather villainous Temporal Enforcement officer who seems to follow all of the Time Hunter books. Baran's mission? Try to keep the time traveler who committed the Jack The Ripper murders and is currently picking up the trail in 21stC America from killing Jane...and kill the criminal, while he's at it. The TE is armed with all sorts of information that prove the criminal and Baran went head to head in our time, but aside from the basic information on the criminal's identity, they give Baran nothing to work with, believing he'll cause a paradox, if given too much information. WARFEM also has ties to WARRIOR. In this case, it's the story of Galar Arvid's parents. Alina Kasi and Baird Arvid were childhood sweethearts, parted twenty years earlier. After their success in driving the Xer from their homeworld, they were supposed to be freed from their contracts. But, Alina's company president had other plans. Using Alina's (at their parting) unborn son to Baird as a hostage (a son Baird never knew existed), they succeeded in forcing her to remain in their service for another twenty years. If Alina balks them, their son's tampered implants will kill him. It's up to Baird to find out what Alina is hiding from him...and prove she's innocent of treason. THE WARLORD AND THE FEM takes place long after the time line of the other stories (about 100 years, by the hints given), in a future where the Femmats have driven the genetically-engineered Warlords and Warfems from their homeworld and scattered them across the universe to avoid a war with them. Baird Airell is a Warlord in search of a mate, and he's found Kyna, a mercenary Warfem who wasn't raised in the colonies but rather in the merc fleet. She's not sure she can submit to Baird, as a Warlord requires. BABY, YOU'VE CHANGED is the shortest story. It is the story of Tamir, a Warfem merc, and Gage Deauxville, a former lover she dumped because he was incapable of dominating her as a Warlord would...being nothing more than a human. When her team is captured by his ship, Tamir has a surprise in store for her. Gage isn't just a human anymore. He's a dominant vampire, and he's studied precisely how a Warlord would have dominated her. Okay...I've said it before and I'll say it again. Angela is a wonderful world-builder and her characterization ROCKS! I can't wait to read more from this series. I love that she shows how generations evolve and change within the world framework. I love that she keeps adding in more and more rac

Angela Knight Fan

I really love Angela Knight's style of writing. I've enjoyed all her books so far and they have all gone on my keeper shelves. Jane's Warlord is probably one of my favorites so far. I also highly recommend her Magaverse series.

entertaining outer space fantasy saga

"Jane's Warlord". Three hundred years from now the Temporal Enforcement sends warlord Baran Arvid and his genetically engineered wolf Freika back to the twenty-first century to protect reporter Jane Colby from a murderous time traveler Kalag Druss. Baran is to kill Kalag before the jump killer murders Jane. Jane covers a particular brutal murder nearby her home. When she returns to her house, she finds Baran and the talkative Freika waiting for her. Escape is impossible and soon she figures out that her warden and his sidekick come from the future. The worst that could happen to Baran is that he falls in love which distracts him from his mission and places his beloved in peril from the deadly time traveler. "Warfem". Her enemy captured WarFem Alina, who would prefer to die, but fears that her foes will use her as a hostage to betray her people and her beloved Baird. "The Warlord and the Fem". Kyne hides on the ship Drunna's Victory from the Warlord Baird Airell who she met while on R & R on the planet Verton. She is a Fem, a genetically engineered soldier which make her subject to any demands in the bedroom from a Warlord; that scares her when it comes to Baird. She has to confront her fears because Baird gains the crew's respect as he tries to bond with her. "Baby, You've Changed". When the ship Intrepid defeated the ship that Fem Tamin was on, she was reunited with her first lover Gage Deauxville. She rejected him because he was human, but now he is a vampire who claims he is her master. JANE'S WARLORD is a reprint of the same title novel while "Warfem" was first published as part of the Kick Ass novellas anthology; the two short stories are new. WARLORD provides fans of Angela Knight, an omnibus collection of this entertaining outer space fantasy saga. Harriet Klausner
