The Genmate series is a spin-off from the Castaway series, and if you haven’t read it, you should. We met Mysk, one of the aliens, to escape when their planet was destroyed. While in the Castaway series, many found their genmate, but so far, Mysk and several others haven’t. The decision to travel the Galaxy was made, searching for other ‘Topian survivors. The trilogy must be read in its written order.
The story shows Mysk and Lala traveling closer to the caves where they believe the ‘Topians have settled. Mysk is still angry with Lala and feels she deceived him, but that will change. Has his anger hardened so much that he ignored the health of his genmate? He knows he has messed up when he can’t wake her and discovers she is burning up and in a coma. He must find a way to help bring her fever down, and in taking care of her, find a place on her neck that has him concerned. Is this a parasite she picked up in the water? Is that what is making her sick? All he knows is it needs to come out.
“He’d lost sight of what was important. How many chances had he had to reverse course, accept her, and embrace the happiness that could have been theirs? Angry, stubborn, filled with loathing, he’d rebuffed every opportunity. She fought to save him—while he hadn’t paid enough attention to her to see she needed saving.”
The story has the good, the bad, and the truth to take it to the conclusion. You can’t hold everyone responsible for the actions of a few, and that is what Mysk has been doing. He played judge, jury, and executioner toward Lala for what the Xeno High Council did. He overlooks what she has suffered because of Chamelon helping the ‘Topians—guilty by genetics. Yet, he is ashamed of his actions when he stops being angry and remembers all she has done to help him. Now, Lala is between life and death, and he needs her to live for both of them.
“The truth had been right in front of him. Genetics didn’t lie. He would not have bonded to someone who could not be his. Their fates had been sealed the moment they were created.”
“To like a friend is easy; to love an enemy is the challenge.”
The journey and target are still the same, find and help rescue other ‘Topians before those on Xenos can find and destroy them. The story has several intense, heart-stopping moments of life and death.
Lala: I love you, my genmate. I am not afraid to die. I regret we did not have more time together, but I would rather live a second with you than a lifetime without you.
Mysk: I was blind, and you gave me the gift of sight.
Lala: I was lost, and you gave me life instead of existence. If not for you, I would have drifted through the galaxy until the day I died.
