Episode 54 - The Frog Prince

Summary

Listener (can we call you "listener"?), when we tell you that neither of us were prepared for The Frog Prince, we are telling you that even in recounting this book to Carl, Katie was not ready to REVISIT it. With the fourth book of The Darvel Exploratory Systems series, SJ Sanders has crafted a smutty speculative sci-fi slice-of-life novella that is (sometimes almost literally) overflowing with originality! Thank you to listener Seneca O. for this recommendation! Book Description No one ever said that be a non-gratas was easy, but neither did they say that there was a possibility of becoming a genetic experiment to the benefit of Darvel Exploratory Corporation. When Gwen Brody woke up with amphibious genetic and surgical modifications to help her survival chances on Xal2614 it was bad enough, but living with it and having the pressure from her mission partner to fulfill more intimate parts of their mission to sustain data gathering beyond their lifetimes was another.Yet, when her partner mysteriously disappears into the swampy environment into which they were sent, Gwen has a new problem when an alien shows up at her door singing his courting songs and triggers a heat that she can’t escape or ignore.The Frog Prince is a 20k sci-fi romance novella set in the Darvel Exploratory systems universe and inspired by the fairytale The Frog Prince with graphic sex. CONTENT WARNING: lack of autonomy, sci-fi romance with monstrous aliens, graphic sex, strange anatomy, perilous circumstances, and sequences of body horror.
