Product Description

Scientifically speaking, it made sense to send two hundred women and 'frozen pops' to establish the colony on New Georgia and insure a good gene pool. But when the colonists arrive after fifteen years of space travel, and discover that the alien compound directly across from their new city is filled with young, virile Xtanian men eager for 'queens' Eden Chisholm has her hands full trying to keep the peace. The Xtanian's themselves are stunningly human-like, but their customs are completely alien to Earth culture. In the Xtianian society, women are rare and therefore the men are of little value beyond what they provide for the comfort and safety of their 'queens'. And the queens have harems. Rating: Contains graphic sex, explicit language, profanity, some violence, group sex, and some material that could be offensive to sensitive readers.

The Ninth Orb
Eden Chisholm is the project leader for the planned colonization of New Savannah. She and her all female crew have spent fifteen years in space reaching their destination. They plan on using "frozen pops" to build the population.

But when the crew arrives, they find that the planet they plan to inhabit is already inhabited, by a group of men from the planet Xtania. These men are part of a "brood" that has been banished because their queen failed to produce a female heir.

Baen is the leader of the Xtanians. The men see the female colonists as queens to be worshipped and adored. Each queen is expected to have a harem and produce their own brood. The females have been without male company for fifteen years, and the Xtanians are very much like human males. But not every female agrees that the men are harmless, which makes for some tense situations.

The Ninth Orb is an entertaining and well-written tale that held me captive. I loved watching the colonists and the Xtanians try to overcome language and cultural differences and come to terms with how to live together.

Lovers of science fiction will enjoy The Ninth Orb. I know that I did.

Sinful
Wouldn't it be great to have all your needs met by a harem of men. Feeding, cleaning, sex, protection and did I mention lots of sex. This kept me up half the night reading. I love all of Kaitlyn O'Conner books

Great SF and Romance
I have to tell you - I love every thing Kaitlyn O'Connor has written. She writes excellent science fiction romance that is well-balanced between the two genres. This was no exception!

A group of women from Earth are sent to colonize the ninth planet of a star system. When they get there, they find it already inhabited by a group that consists only of males, some of which have wings and horns. The story is about the conflicts between the two colonies and how they solve the situation. Great characters, great SF, great love scenes.
