The Andumi Effect

Minot and his female partner, Calia are on a mission to steal a very important item for their government. Only, things do not turn out quite the way they had planned. Well, really, they did not turn out at all the way they had planned.

Minot, just when he thinks he has succeeded in achieving his goal, is caught. Now he is the possession of a slave trader.

THE ANDUMI EFFECT is by Laura Bacchi. Ms. Bacchi wrote a very imaginative futuristic in THE ANDUMI EFFECT. This reviewer enjoyed that aspect of her writing. What this reviewer did not care for was her use of the word ‘prick’. Time and time again, it took an erotic encounter that should have been sexually titillating and conjured up not a beautiful part of a man’s anatomy, but caused negativity toward the sexual acts instead. And yes, the word was used over and over again. If Ms. Bacchi had changed up this word with more appealing verbiage, this reviewer would have definitely found this futuristic tale much more appetizing to read.

Now, if that word does not bother you, then this gay futuristic book will translate much differently to you, the reader.

Minot craves the flesh of men and it looks like he will get his fondest wish, only it was not quite the way he would have wanted it when he is caught and held by a slave trader. This big, strong hunk of a man will exert his will and ways over Minot.

Not all things are what they seem in this erotic futuristic. The lines of right and wrong will be blurred and twisted in the most of carnal ways. So be prepared!

If you love M/M futuristic written with an imaginative flair, Ms. Bacchi has achieved that with THE ANDUMI EFFECT, even with the overuse of one word in particular this reviewer found entertainment in this book.
