The romance element between human Reuben and cyborg Vairya moved pretty fast, but I bought into their emotional connection and attraction, hook, line and sinker. This story moved at a perfect pace, providing vivid world-building (universe-building!?) and a plot that was both complex, yet comprehensible, as well as exciting, sexy, and even for a brief time there, high stakes and nerve-wracking. There, the wreckage of the city of Caelestia, they find sole survivor Vairya - an exceedingly rare and advanced cyborg who may just prove to be the key to understanding and avenging Caelestia’s mysterious destruction. Set in a dystopian science-fiction universe, In Heaven and Earth follows blacklisted military doctor, Reuben Cooper, as he and his fellow team of medically trained space explorers, upon the Juniper spaceship, respond to an SOS from a colony they arrive to find inexplicably decimated. I’m once again left gobsmacked by the quality and likability of yet another FREE story that came out of the once epic Don’t Read in the Closet M/M writing event.
