"Part three of this series, revealing all the secrets and lies."

This is part three in the Death Row series, which takes place in the 23rd century. The United States no longer exists and all of the Americas are known as The United Americas of Earth. A deadly virus has infected most of Earth's population, turning those infected into subhumanoids. There are three races: male, female, and subhumans. Women are bioengineered to look like centerfolds and men dominate sexually like never before.

Kerick Riley had been imprisoned in a penal colony for 15 years. When he and a fellow inmate manage to escape, he encounters Dr. Nellie Kan, a scientist who has been working on a serum to combat the deadly virus. After 15 years of being without a woman, Kerick has plans for Dr. Kan that don't involve her working on the serum.

This installment opens with many of the secrets and lies from the first two installments. Kerick still does not know that Nellie is the daughter of his mortal enemy and does not understand why Nellie tried to run away even though she says she loves him. He is still unaware that his mother is alive and willing to sacrifice everything--even him--to discover the cure for the virus. As the story unfolds he discovers the answers to these secrets as well as the source of the virus. He also discovers that he will have to make a big sacrifice in order to destroy the virus.

This is a great story. Jaid Black is an excellent storyteller who also uses her skill for fiction writing well. Although I've read most of her books I had not read any of this series. After reading this installment that mistake was quickly remedied. I highly recommend this series as an entertaining and sexy read.

Rating: erotic. Sensuality: oral sex, voyeurism, multiple partners.

Summary

The United Americas of Earth: 2250 A.D.
