Loading ...Whispers on the Wind by Judy Griffith Gill
Staid, uptight, accountant Lenore Henning is on the receiving end of a psychic sexual seduction coming from the injured Psi Cop Jonallo who has come to Earth in pursuit of crazed drug king from his own world who has kidnapped Jonallo’s scientist twin sister. Thinking she must be going crazy, Lenore tries very hard to hold on to her sanity even when she is faced with the reality of the multi-talented alien. Almost against her will she tramps up into the mountains around the cabin where she is staying and follows the voice in her head to a cave where she finds the injured Jon. There is nothing for it but to help him recover his team which he calls an Octad, and then go on to assist him as he tries to carry out his mission. She might be able to hold on to her heart if she can keep Jon from delving into the emotional baggage she has carried around for years.
A marvelous story constructed with imagination and panache, Whispers on the Wind blends the right amount of romance with adventure and sets it in a future Earth where technology can do more than ours yet isn’t showy or intrusive.
Gill’s wealth of craft talent presents itself from the first page. She gets the story racing before she attends to character development through backstory. Gill’s characters reveal themselves through action and dialogue rather than through exposition or mind speak. Gill does not overload her story with action, action, action. Rather she provides opportunities for quiet time so the major characters can present themselves to one another and the reader. The psionic abilities of Jonallo and his fellow aliens can seem overpowering at times, almost to the point of turning Lenore into their victim, but Gill does solve this problem as the plot moves toward its natural and satisfying conclusion.
Judy Gill is a master of storytelling craft and the reader reaps the reward of her hard work. I for one look forward to many, many more stories from this complete author.
