Shelley S. (lucybelle) reviewed on
Chaz is the new recruit to The Academy. Ferron is the older, more experienced cadet. They are partners in the "Needle", the fighter ship of the fleet. In order for them to work together, Ferron piloting and Chaz shooting, they must be together in close quarters. Very close quarters. And naked. Hmmm....
Chaz is straight and has a very hard time shedding his ingrained sense of hetero "thinking". Gradually, Ferron overomes his fears and the two begin to come to terms with their desire for each other. Ferron had actually lost his first partner to death and never thought he would even want another partner.
Some intense themes come to light such as attempted gang rape, alluded to gang rape, and suicide. I enjoyed this book and even got a tad choked up during some parts.
