Kerrick has been biding his time and planning secretly for this moment since his incarceration. His plan succeeds and he takes with him his fellow inmates Elijah and Xavier and escape into the jungle. He finds himself in the facility where Dr. Nellie Kan works and once he sees her, he knows she belongs to him. Kerrick takes what he wants, and right now, he wants Nellie. Dr. Nellie Kan lives in a world where women are sold to the highest bidder in marriage and are worth nothing. She has defied odds and has become a renowned scientist searching for a cure that will save mankind from the disease that's attacking their men and women. A disease that changes them into savage beasts. There is only one problem...someone doesn't want her to find that cure and will do anything to stop her.

Jaid Black is such a talented author and after reading Death Row: The Trilogy my opinion has not changed. This is a story filled with vengeance, violence and with unexpected love and understanding. Jaid Black drew me in from the first word and didn't let me go until the last word. She has a way with words that will have you seeing clearly what these savage beasts look like. There are juicy episodes that will get your heart pumping, however be aware that there are some violent scenes in this trilogy but it adds to the realism of this story. Death Row: The Trilogy will bring out every emotion into the surface. Prepare to enjoy yourself and beg for more. This reader recommends this story for those who are not of the faint of heart!

Jaid Black Delivers With This One

Sci-fi elements, often scorching erotic scenes and a very interesting plot combine to create a superb read in the series "Death Row" by Jaid Black. The book is comprised of the first three novellas in the series (The fugitive, The Hunter and The Avenger), which I am assuming were originally published seperately via e-book format. Thank goodness readers can get the stories in this one volume because having to wait for each installment would have been plain torture. Nellie Kan is a scientist in her home bioshpere, a rarity among women in in her time, where for the most part they are seen as mere sexual chattel to be mastered, basically enslaved by men. About thirty years ago, in a race to creat perfectly engineered children, free of diseases or even plain features, parents were choosing boys over girls. Genetics adjusted to this preference and for a long period of time, no females were born, resulting years later in a world that barely had enough females to help keep the human race going. Nellie is lucky enough to gain the patronage of an older scientist at the age of eighteen and by the age of thirty or so she is close to perfecting a serum to treat a deadly disease that plagues their race. Sub-humans run rampant in the jungles surrounding the protected biospheres, remnants of what used to be humans - humans that were experimented on. On the eve of her close discovery, Nellie runs into a mysterious stranger, Kerick Riley (an escaped convict from Kong) and she is later kidnapped by the man and taken as his wife. Desperate to finish the serum and help hundreds of infected people, Nellie must find a way to fulfill her destiny and make a relationship with Kerrick all while trying to stay alive. Someone wants her dead before she can find a cure to the sub-human dilemma. This book never slows down from the moment it starts and there are several other subplots in addition to Nellie and Kerrick's. Several strong secondary characters come into play, adding a nice variety of personalities. Some may be turned off by the way women in general are treated, as I said before, literally as slaves to the men who capture/buy and claim them. This type of male/female relationship is typical of a Jaid Black book though, but the attitude varies slightly from her Trek Mi Q'an Tales series, where there is obvious romantic feelings abound in the males towards their women. In Death Row, where women are the most rare objects around, the mens attitudes are almost primordially archaic. Still, such attitudes do add a rather delicious spice to the book, kicking up the intimate scenes to just the right level. Nellie is a strong heroine with the grit and determination to see a dangerous mission to the end. Kerrick is a hardened convict determined to reclaim his place in an unstable and often violent world. From the sub-human infested jungles to the rigid patriarchal society of the biospheres, Death Row by Jaid black is a good solid sci-fi erotica read. One more novella continu

Great world building!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, which is actually three seperate Ebook releases bundled together, but I'm sure glad I read these back to back. This book reads as a cohesive single book, with three different chapters. Kerick has done the impossible by escaping prison. He meets up with and kidnaps scientist Nellie, who is close to solving a mystery that could change their worlds. The keys to her discovery rest in a journal written by Kerick's mother before she died of a horrible disease. This is a fabulous book and well worth the money! If you like your heroes to be Alpha and your heroines to be kept, you simply must read this book.
