A Bait of Dreams

I've bought and read every book written by Jo Clayton. I bought this book when it first came out, but apparently forgot about it and actually thought I'd read it. As I got into the story, I realized I had not read it. What a treat! It takes place on the planet of Jaydugar some 300 years after Aletys (Diadem series) gives birth to her son, Sharl. Sharl goes by the name of Schounach and has the longevity and self-healing genes of Aletys. When he was six, he was given a Ranga Eye, an addictive killer, but gave it to his half brother, who died from it. This book deals with his search for the source of these Ranga Eye killers with the objective of destroying the source. If you are a fan of Jo Clayton, you will like this book. I'm confident Jo Clayton would have written more on Sharl and his adventures but for her untimely death in 1998.

An engrossing tale of addiction

This was the first book I read by Clayton and I have been addicted ever since. An in depth look at addiction with lots of twists and turns. It really keeps your interest and is an excellent read if you can find this work. One of my favorites.
