NARC co-captains--and lovers--Kevin Jarratt and Jerry Stone are back, once again battling the evil purveyors of Angel, this time in the corporate entity of Equinox Industries.

More of a follow-up than a sequel, EQUINOX picks up right where DEATH'S HEAD left off. Stoney and Kev are still dealing with the after-effects of their artificially induced empathy, and they have to prove some things both to themselves as well as to the skeptics in Intelligence.

As in DEATH'S HEAD, there is non-stop action, scads of cool techno-gadgets, and plenty of hot sex. The relationship between heroes Jarrat and Stone is refreshingly uncomplicated and genuinely romantic. Though it helps to read the more intense DEATH'S HEAD first, this encore appearance of Captains Stone and Jarratt stands on its own as an entertaining, satisfying read

When I started reading this, I didn't want to put it down!! It was nice to see a couple of gay heroes who were not written as stereotypes. Ive be reading Sci-Fi for 20 years and this one can keep up with the big boys.

This is a fab book reprinted by dreamcraft who now do all the mel keegan books http://www.dream-craft.com/melkeegan/
they even have an unabridged copy of deaths head replacing the 20,000 words left out of the original and also the latest narc book scorpio printed in 2004

After Death Head, I have been desperate to get this sequel.
Thanks to the writer's website, it finally arrived by mail. And it was a wonderful read, as good as Death Head. Just could not put it down. Jarrat and Stoney are gorgeous characters, the more so because they are lovers. The plot just flew by, one rip roaring adventure after another. This is what a great romantic sci-fi is all about. Plenty of action, fascinating world building and of course intense loving which knows no bounds. Glad to have acquired Scorpio, the third book. But will hold on to the week end to start because I do not wish to be interrupted. Mel, Cheers!

Captains Kevin Jarratt and Jerry Stone are back and continue the battle against evil drug "lords." This time they take on Equinox Industries a commercial monopoly mining the gas giant Zeus, and suspected of manufacturing the lethal drug Angel. If fighting for truth and justice wasnt enough, the two lovers also have to deal with the empathic mind bond they developed during the adventures in the first book (Deaths Head). This is a wonderful action-packed sequel, with a lot of romance, and its hard to put down. I am happy to hear that, according to the authors web page, this book will soon be back in print. Not only that, there may be a third book in the horizon. Lets hope so!
