I read WARRIOR first (though it is book two), so I had a basis in this world from that. I like Angela's vampires, but this is my favorite of her series, by far, and ENFORCER and future books are auto-buys for me.

WARLORD is made up of four distinct stories, and I was glad to have the chance to read all of them!

JANE'S WARLORD is the novel centerpiece of the omnibus. It's the story of Riane Arvid's parents. Jane runs a newspaper in the 21st Century. Baran Arvid is dropped in her time by the rather villainous Temporal Enforcement officer who seems to follow all of the Time Hunter books. Baran's mission? Try to keep the time traveler who committed the Jack The Ripper murders and is currently picking up the trail in 21stC America from killing Jane...and kill the criminal, while he's at it. The TE is armed with all sorts of information that prove the criminal and Baran went head to head in our time, but aside from the basic information on the criminal's identity, they give Baran nothing to work with, believing he'll cause a paradox, if given too much information.

WARFEM also has ties to WARRIOR. In this case, it's the story of Galar Arvid's parents. Alina Kasi and Baird Arvid were childhood sweethearts, parted twenty years earlier. After their success in driving the Xer from their homeworld, they were supposed to be freed from their contracts. But, Alina's company president had other plans. Using Alina's (at their parting) unborn son to Baird as a hostage (a son Baird never knew existed), they succeeded in forcing her to remain in their service for another twenty years. If Alina balks them, their son's tampered implants will kill him. It's up to Baird to find out what Alina is hiding from him...and prove she's innocent of treason.

THE WARLORD AND THE FEM takes place long after the time line of the other stories (about 100 years, by the hints given), in a future where the Femmats have driven the genetically-engineered Warlords and Warfems from their homeworld and scattered them across the universe to avoid a war with them. Baird Airell is a Warlord in search of a mate, and he's found Kyna, a mercenary Warfem who wasn't raised in the colonies but rather in the merc fleet. She's not sure she can submit to Baird, as a Warlord requires.

BABY, YOU'VE CHANGED is the shortest story. It is the story of Tamir, a Warfem merc, and Gage Deauxville, a former lover she dumped because he was incapable of dominating her as a Warlord would...being nothing more than a human. When her team is captured by his ship, Tamir has a surprise in store for her. Gage isn't just a human anymore. He's a dominant vampire, and he's studied precisely how a Warlord would have dominated her.

Okay...I've said it before and I'll say it again. Angela is a wonderful world-builder and her characterization ROCKS! I can't wait to read more from this series. I love that she shows how generations evolve and change within the world framework. I love that she keeps adding in more and more races and fleshing them out. This series has endless possibilities.

Complaints? Only one. I can honestly say that WARRIOR was MUCH better edited than WARLORD was. Since WARRIOR is the second book in the series, that bodes well for future books, thank goodness. This book would have been darned near perfect, if I hadn't found the editing errors I did. It's not enough to kill what Angela has going right for it, but it was a distraction that didn't need to be.

KUDOS to Angela!

Warlord Angela Knight 9780425217849 Books Reviews

Her later books are better. I ordered this as background; the main story and the novella are the stories of parents of later characters. Let's just say the kids are more likeable than their parents.
New book in great shape. Came fast. I really like Angela Knights books. I got this one as a stocking stuffer for my daughter
I like this book. The real steaming with sex but I thought the plot was a little far-fetched. Do not know if I believe in time travel.
It's great! prompt service
I really loved the story of this book as well as the steamy scenes. Very good descriptions and the author really brings you into the book. I am already ordering her other books from this author.
I loved Jane's Warlord, the main novella in this book. It was my intorduction to Angela Knight and I couldn't put it down. The science behind the science-fiction plot may not be perfect but who cares when you have a hero as hot and brooding and hunky as Baran. Time travel, Jack the Ripper (Jack the Ripper!! In a contemporary erotic romance!) and a talking wolf! Love it!

(I am inclined to remove a star for the shorter novellas following Jane's Warlord, but the main story is too enjoyable. If I could give half a star, I would)
For a steamy "military futuristic romance" this is quite a good read and tons of fun. The incredible genre (I am a huge fan of military, commando SF but my tastes run usually to Gordon Dickson and Richard Morgan) makes one assume the writing quality would be atrocious - but it happened to be decent.
Of course, asking for mucho logic (military or otherwise) would be stupid but in its own niche, this is a pleasant book.
Warning if you do like "pink erotica" with lots of tender scenes, sensitive heroes and gentle sex in front of a fireplace or at sunset beach, Knight's books are most definitely not for you )
I read WARRIOR first (though it is book two), so I had a basis in this world from that. I like Angela's vampires, but this is my favorite of her series, by far, and ENFORCER and future books are auto-buys for me.
