The second installment of this naughty threesome in space-opera style is even more fun than the first because there is more information about the three men, and they are now on the Espoornian’s homeworld. The name of the game has changed, but Greg, Suvan, and Taran are in for as many surprises as in book one - just of a different kind. Oh, and if you haven’t read ‘Alien Manhunt 1’, I think you should do so for your entertainment, as well as to avoid seeing spoilers for that first story in this review.

Suva takes the lead in this book, and he wants to introduce his two lovers to his home planet. Not just that, he wants to fulfill Taran’s fantasy of being the dominant partner for once, and to do that, he sets up a manhunt where Greg is the hunted one – just like in the fantasy Taran indulged in before. But Suva is sneaky – he hasn’t told the men he thinks of as his mates that he is telepathic, nor that he plans to make the threesome he hopes for at the end of the hunt fulfill the conditions of an Espoornian marriage ceremony. No wonder Suva is in trouble by the time the others realize what's going on!

Taran is excited to be the dominant partner in this round of play, but there are a few things that Suva has not considered. When things begin to go wrong, Taran isn’t helpless though, after all, Cibattans have certain abilities that stand him in good stead whether he is the hunter or prey.

Greg is more than a little uncomfortable with the prospect of having to submit to Taran at the end of this particular game they are playing. But he is also beginning to realize how much Taran and Suva mean to him, so he is happy to play along. Until it gets serious – and his reactions to Suva’s subterfuge are hilarious.

If you like space opera that doesn’t take itself too seriously, if you enjoy reading about interspecies shenanigans that include some cross-cultural misunderstandings and their consequences, and if you’re looking for a read that is entertaining, hot, and very funny in places, then you will probably like this short story.

This short story in space opera style features an abducted human running for his life on a strange planet. He is the prey of a Cinattran and an Espoornian whose species used to be enemies and who are each determined to get to him first. There is a hot threesome once Greg is caught, and a fun twist toward the end. While the characters are quite interesting in their own right, this story is more like a fun fantasy than serious science fiction. Keeping that in mind, I was able to enjoy it and all the naughtiness it offers.

Greg is a human being hunted by two aliens, and the sense of desperation as he tries to escape had me involved right away. He is not used to being prey and has no intention of being caught. Even in this alien environment there are a few advantages he has over the aliens. The planet may be a hot desert, but there are some things he is better at. Just the thought of being used for whatever purpose these aliens have in mind motivates Greg to do whatever it takes to get away.

Taran, a Cibattan who is a short, strong reptilian with red skin and a few scales along his sides, has never been able to catch a human before this. Hunts for humans are a regular occurrence on his planet and he is very eager to succeed this time. He may be young, and nobody expects him to succeed, but he is determined. Not just any human will do either – he has scented Greg, and only he will do. Never mind the annoying Espoornian, who also seems intent on catching Greg and no other.

Suva, who is a tall and slender Espoornian and looks like an elf, is the most mysterious of the three. He can keep up, even get ahead of Taran frequently, yet he seems less concerned about the outcome. His point of view doesn’t come into play until the very end, and he turns out to be the key to what is going on…

If you like alien abduction fantasies, if a threesome between different species seems like a naughtily fun idea, and if you’re looking for an entertaining, hot read, then you might like this short story.
