![]() ![]() Either way, I just can’t get enough.īut it seems like finding really good science fiction romance isn’t always as easy. Maybe it’s the grand scale of space or the stakes that are so often involved, with entire planets and civilizations dependent on the hero’s actions. After all, what is Star Wars if not an epic science fiction love story? (Don’t try to fight me on this.) There’s just something about the combination of science fiction elements - you know, epic space battles, intergalactic political intrigue - and romance that work together to create the sense of a love story of epic proportions. ![]() I grew up on Star Wars, so you can imagine that science fiction, space fantasy, and science fiction romance have a special place in my heart. ![]()

She’s one of the smartest, kindest people I’ve ever met, and I loved her first two books, so I wasn’t surprised when this one crept quietly up and swept me away, too.

That is not to say this is not a good book - it is. Wilkie Collins is the master of the convoluted plot, but the explication in this novel is of a Byzantine complexity that completely outdoes all others. The above is only for starters - when the devious Lydia Gwilt discovers Ozias' secret, she embarks on a scheme of her own which is even more bewildering, which culminates in a denouement which presages all these films where the baddie has devised a long-drawn out end for the hero, when a quick shot to the temple may have been less elegant but much more practical. He befriends a young man of similar age named Ozias Midwinter - but that is not his real name. ![]() Twenty-one years later, and young Allan Armadale is being brought up by his widowed mother in England.

In Barbados, Allan Armadale disowns his son Allan Armadale and passes his fortune to his cousin Allan Wentmore on condition he takes the surname Armadale. ![]() |
