Reviews for Opposing Forces

 

Excerpt from Opposing Forces:

Silverhawk strode to him, a blur of motion and then he was standing in front of him. His calm eyes were something Steele would never forget. But neither of them were the men they once were. Both had been forced down different paths.

And today might just be the day that one destroyed the other.

Steele raged when he saw the other three Silver Saviors swiftly enter the destroyed lab. Silverhawk turned toward them, still keeping one hand pointed at Steele, leveling the blue laser to hold him fast. The beam had fanned out to encompass the whole left side of Steele. Whatever he was using held the angry mutant fast to the wall.

"Get Zeus back to Maxsec and make sure he stays there this time. I'll handle Steele."

The Saviors accomplished the deed of unchaining the doctor , cuffing him, and then quickly escorted him out of the rubble. Silverhawk turned back to Steele.

"Now you and I have some unfinished business. You crossed a line, Nikki. We couldn't let this go. You knew it would come to this."

Steele glared at him. He finally stopped struggling against the hold of the blue laser that kept him clamped to the wall. "You shouldn't have interfered. Zeus doesn't deserve to live and you know that. You know what he's done. And he won't hesitate to do it again. Your damned Maxsec compound isn't going to hold him. You always were too naïve for your own good."

"Why, Nikki? Why didn't you ask for help once you got free of him? Why didn't you come to me?"

"Look at me, damn you. Look at what he made me." He slumped against the wall. Why did he keep fighting? Steele wasn't even sure himself. If only he knew how to end it. He wasn't a man any longer. Not really. He was more machine. Even these last years of trying to tread the right side of the law, it was a struggle every day to follow the rules. To allow the process of equalizing to be enough to keep him going. He would never have justice for what had been done to him and the others. For all the people Zeus had killed in the process.

It wasn't enough for Steele. Not any longer. He couldn't stand the solitude, the knowledge that he could never know love again such as he'd once had with Paz.

Paz had gone on to do great things, to accomplish and retain his spiritual ties. Steele followed all the news and knew exactly how Silverhawk had risen above what had happened. If only Steele could have done the same. But he hadn't. And Steele had been left with nothing but being drowned by the ashes of his life.

"Do you think he did any less to me?" Silverhawk yanked down the tab of the zipper with one hand, exposing his lacerated chest. "You aren't the only one he destroyed."

Steele watched the deep rise and fall of Silverhawk's broad chest and then his eyes dropped lower. And lower. And widened.

"Not everything was destroyed," he finally mused. Memories shot through him. Long dormant feelings that he'd buried in order to go on. "Some of your appendages survived amazingly well."

 

Reviews for Opposing Forces:

"...Something quite different, Opposing Forces is a special kind of love story. ... Opposing Forces has an unusual premise for a plot but somehow manages to stay away from turning into a comic book and showcases a poignant love between two men badly scarred inside and out... --Lisa, JoyfullyReviewed.com

4.5 Nymphs!! "Adrianna Dane brings us love in superhero proportions in Opposing Forces. ... The characters pull you into the story. ... I felt their pain as easily as I could feel my own. ... Opposing Forces is definitely an entertaining story you don't want to miss..." --Scandalous Minx, Literary Nymphs Reviews

4 Angels!! "I love to read stories of all kinds and this was a very entertaining read. Adrianna Dane did a fantastic job in her creation of these characters. ... I felt the anger, the sadness, and above all the passion shared. Fans of superheroes will love Opposing Forces..." --Krystal, Fallen Angel Reviews.

3 Stars!! "Opposing Forces is a unique approach to a superhero tale. Instead of focusing solely on their superhuman abilities, it instead explores their grasp on humanity. ... The wonderful flashback scenes reveal the intensity of the love between Paz and Nikki and reinforce the utter devastation that resulted when their lives were forever changed. The character of Douglas is a particular favorite..." --Emily, Rainbow Reviews
