AH, the wedding of Sam and Ben! This is gonna be good! So what's up with A.J. and Sofia? We gonna find out?

What a start! An elf takes a human street boy for a magical ride and it is intimated that this human may be a mate for the elf. If you believe in magic, come along with me We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me

Sexual exploration by the children/kids was bound to happen. There is no way to stop it. If this is the worst "crisis" they have, then the Gaians are doing good! While I understand the concept that Joel is using, I don't think the people of Ark III need the FTL at the moment.

I have the same concerns of @drsawzall and @ReaderPaul. I can't remember if the people of Ark II had developed weapons but they should be withheld. I also agree that FTL sentries should be posted at Elysia. "Trust but Verify" should be the message of the day!

It's hard to imagine the mindset that wants to destroy all of humanity. Wrongheaded in the extreme. Joel has it right though. No tech for these other guys unless or until more proof of their intentions. Certainly no tech to Earth.

@Summerabbacat, have you ever thought that electrons simply don't like you? 😱

That's what I was going to mention. As long as the blue remains blue without getting dark quickly... As for the courtroom scenes, they remind me an awful lot of the Perry Mason TV series (The books were much better - aren't they almost always).

I used to watch CSI and Law & Order. 😁

That's one place I've never gone to. Looks like it would be a lot of fun! Considering the vacations they've taken the boys on, I'd say you were right!

I never faced that. No one ever knew but I've imagined that fear a thousand times. Who am I kidding? I felt that fear. I don't think my first wife had any idea I might have gay tendencies until toward the end of that marriage. My current wife knew long before I could admit it.

It's not the best start to a day—a heck of a start to the story.

Grayson's Mum seems to be OK that he is gay. But, this is telling: As is this: So, Mum knows or suspects that Grayson is gay and we have a very possible homophobic dad. Then there is Mike at work. There is also the unknown person who saw Grayson with Mike and the snake. This is a lot of stuff to think about for a closeted gay boy!

So many secrets! I guess I'll just have to tag along and read when you post the next book. I'll also guess that Sasha finds his bond mate?

But it's sooo time consuming! 🤣

I can see where Marc is also at an emotional growth stage. This is an example of not quite knowing the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. Regardless if the other person is your true mate or not. Hopefully, when Sasha meets Marc's other friends (and lovers), he will understand Marc better and Marc will understand himself better. Otherwise, the breakup of being boyfriend to friends will be painful for both of them.
