Third Lieutenant Eliza Midoze 73 is arguably the best pilot in FCM’s fleet. Her training is top notch and her skills greater than the majority of her genetic siblings. But Eliza has a problem. She can’t stop pleasuring herself and, to the FCM, sexual contact of any kind is strictly forbidden. The consequences are harsh, with only a small chance of survival, until an unlikely ally emerges in the form of a previously unknown species, the Raptors. It’s with their leader, Fleet Master Kraken, that Eliza throws her fate and in doing so finds her sexual freedom.
I enjoyed the distinct contrast between the FMC and the Raptors, even beyond the obvious human versus dinosaur. The FCM is regulated to the point where they have scheduled “random events” to prevent possible boredom because idle minds create idle fingers, and idle fingers lead to self-exploration, or at least this is the case with Eliza. This is precisely what the FCM attempts to avoid, to the point where all human life is created in the lab, no touching required. The Raptors have rules, but elevated above all else is the freedom to live and be true all aspects of one’s being, including the baser instincts of rage, survival, and sex.
Perhaps my favorite part occurs when Eliza goes from being downtrodden while living under FCM rules, to becoming more confident in herself and her abilities while under the attentions of Kraken. Yet, ironically, if it wasn’t for Eliza’s punishment by the FCM earlier in the novel, she may never have had the physical or mental strength to handle some of the challenges found in later chapters.
Now, I admit there are a few editing errors and some crude language used during the sex scenes that I find a little distracting, especially since I tend to prefer more romantic, flowery language, but the plot is easy to understand, it’s written in a logical order, and the sex/love scenes are plentiful, so it’s relatively easy for me to ignore those mechanical distractions.
Eliza and the Raptor is a unique sci-fi story that will appeal to anyone interested in space travel, dinosaurs, and interspecies relationships. This novel does contain multiple scenes with graphic sex and violence, and it considers a possible outcome of human selective breeding. I would recommend this novel and look forward to reading similar pieces from t’Sade in the future.
