The spaceship Orion was supposed to be at its planet of destination days ago, but unexpected security checks delayed its departure. The delay puts everyone at risk when the Tygean navigator, Commander Tryon Jag, goes into his yearly mating cycle days away from the safety of his home planet. His uncontrollable mating instincts will drive him crazy if he can’t find a suitable shift mate, and he is the only one capable of piloting the ship through the deadly Cattarus asteroid belt. When the problem is revealed to the crew, young Tygean interpreter Calla Fellura offers herself as the vessel to pacify his raging mating lust. What everyone doesn’t know is that Jag’s mating shift isn’t the only thing endangering the flight and crew. There’s also a lone traitor on board poised to use a bio-weapon to destroy the ship. If they can’t control both situations, everyone on board will die.

Tyger, Tyger Buring Bryght is a fast-paced, sexy futuristic paranormal story. The characters of Tryon and Calla are strong-willed and independent, and Ms. Cade’s descriptive details make them nearly jump off the page. Together they are passion, lust and fire, but the story doesn’t end there. When you throw in a traitorous eco-terrorist bent on destroying the ship, you have all the elements needed for an enjoyable afternoon read. But that isn’t the end of the story, for the last quarter of the book is the true culmination, when Tryon realizes he can’t live without his little mate, and he has to work to get her back.
