Must read if you like the combos of amazons and sci-fi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Return to Isis (Paperback)
Jean Stewart wrote a three book series staged in a post nuclear war, all female society separated (by choice) from men. A great blend of science fiction, romance and strong female characters that will entice you to read all three books in one sitting. It is a simple, quick read that goes well with a hot bath and chocolate.

A Great Read that Deserves a Wide Audience,
By
This review is from: Return to Isis (Paperback)
Jean Stewart has set her novel in a future where a virulent virus has decimated America's population, and, as a consequence, divided the country into three distinct zones - one is a wilderness where no one can live, another is Elysia and is run by white right-wing Christian men bent on cleansing the race and who use women as breeding stock, and the third is Freeland ruled by women. This is the story of Whit, a Freeland warrior, and Amelia, a Farmer from Elysia. Together they unlock Amelia's past and solve the mystery of who betrayed Freeland ten years earlier. This is a well-written combination of science fiction and lesbian romance. The characters are well drawn, the societies are clearly defined without bogging the reader down in detail, and the writer has down all this in 173 pages. This is definitely not your formulaic output of either genre. It deserves a wide audience because it talks about a future that is possible as well as tells a story along the way.

Enjoyable Read...,

This review is from: Return to Isis (Paperback)
I took a segue from my usual fare to try this sci-fi series of books and am glad I did. From the first page of 'Return to Isis' I was hooked. Freeland is a mixture of all races, but mainly homosexuals, women in particular. They live by the good ole US Constitution, have protogenesis (in this case, reproduction without sperm), and a cure for a mutated form of AIDS called AGH. Elysia is what is left of the white, Christian, heterosexual society of America. The region is dominated by men, women are kept as breeders or drones, and they are over-run by AGH.Whit is a warrior from Freeland who is doing an undercover operation in Elysia. When trying to return home, she accidentally saves Amelia from from her horrible life in Elysia. This book is about their struggle to gain acceptance for Amelia and about Amelia regaining lost memories. It is well-written and edited, and kept this reader's attention. Although the setting is in the future, the science fiction theme only enhanced the story. I'm glad I took the time to read this story and am looking forward to the remaining four books in the series.
