(Mass Market Paperback)
Ariana awakens a captive. Her ship has been disabled and her friends hurt, and she is to blame. She cajoled them into braving the outskirts of space. And now they are to be transported to a non-Intersystem planet where they will be slaves. The world is bleak and shadowy, as are its inhabitants. And though these men are slaves as well, that hardly makes them less dangerous. Yet one rises above the others, and Ariana sees in him nobility. This is a prince in a barbarian's body, one who can teach her how to be wild. On this planet with its dark sun, Ariana knows he will help her survive. And she will show him a love that will last through whatever follows.

November 07, 2007: It was very good though the beginning really confusied me. Though this book has everything you could ask for if you like action in space traveling thoughout the galaxy this book is for you.

July 25, 2003: Lord of the Dark Sun is filled with everything from witty arguments between the characters to the action-packed battles between the Dark Sun Fleet and the Automons. Though I found the beginning a little corny, the rest of the book made up for it. I can't wait till we see what happens in Piel's next book, which focuses on the secondary characters of Fia and Hakon! Stobie Piel will knock the socks off your feet with her captivating writing style and interesting plots (she combines the futuristic world with characteristics that remind me of Tolkein's Lord of the Rings).
