The will to survive is mankind's greatest weapon
In the last interplanetary war a bio-weapon killed or sterilized all the males on Vensoog. To keep the colony alive, the Matchmaker Program finds ex-soldiers like Zack Jackson, a hard-as-nails ex-recon soldier who no longer has a home planet, and offer him a new home on Vensoog if he is willing to marry a Vensoog woman.

New! Patricia A. Adams reviewed Options of Survival (Space Colony Journals Book 1)
Super super Series! July 10, 2020
I read all six books, in a row, in a few days. Yes, that good. So sorry there are no more in the series - lots of characters still need love! The storyline was very fun, the characters were amazing, the story flowed...I just absolutely loved these books. You will want to read them all, I know you will! The world Gail created was really fun and interesting. I am not going to give any storyline away, just read them. You will be happy you did! Kudos, Gail for an amazing series!!!!

This is yet another, "New-to-Me" author and if this first story is any indication, I will be reading much more of this author's work. The world building at the end of the story was a welcome addition. The characters are quite believable and the premise of a female lead society is a breath of fresh air. The plot of the story was straight forward and the action written was just enough to keep the reader interested. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next one in the series.

A very interesting world with intriguing characters and a fascinating lifestyle. Reading the history of the world at the back of each book is a wonderful way to bring their past decisions and struggles to life. This is written in a different style of writing than most adventures, almost like a journal, but still wonderful to read.

Read as a Part of the "In the Beginning" Collection.
I enjoyed this one, a quick one day read

To save their planet from a hostile takeover, a warrior/priestess joins forces with a bard from another world and five genetically designed children.
Drusilla: A Dragon Talker, born of a line of powerful, psychically gifted women, she has been trained from birth to command the beasts of Vensoog, but can she command her own heart?
Lucas: An off-world survivor of an interplanetary war, he is the untrained hereditary Bard of his people with the ability to compel with his voice. He recognized Drusilla as his soul mate when he met her, but can he convince her they are meant to be together?
Juliette: super smart, ruthless, wily and conniving—the perfect spy whose creators never realized they gave her a loving heart.
Lucinda: given a genius level IQ whose enhanced creativity genes made her the perfect icy planner. But those same genes spark a need for order and balance at odds with the goals of her masters.
Violet: a powerful empath whose alliance with the Vensoog Sand Dragon Jelli gave her the courage to defy her masters.
Rupert and Roderick: the intuitive chemist and the genius code cracker who turned out to be a lot tougher than their masters anticipated.
Only by working together can this diverse group stop the ruthless Thieves Guild from enslaving their planet.

I found this to be a wonderful book. A lot of happenings on Vensoog with love, drama, retribution and fighting all headed towards a HEA, at least for now. I do wonder what new plots are taking place against the clans for the next book?

Lucinda was a "designer child". Given genius level intelligence in an embryonic Thieves Guild lab, she learned survival in a harsh world. At twelve, she was rescued and adopted into a loving family. As an adult Lucinda chose to fight her former masters by joining the police force. She works hard to earn her place among Vensoog's law enforcement community.
On her first assignment, compassion impelled her to protect an alien mother and daughter fleeing off-planet bounty hunters. To ensure their safety, she must defeat a deadly Soturi warrior in hand-to-hand combat.
Then she rescues a 'designer child' who is a younger double for herself from a sex trafficking ring. To solve this case and rescue the other children trapped by those same criminals, she must capture a vicious Thieves Guild assassin.
But even with the help of the best private eye on Vensoog, these are tough cases for a rookie cop.

Once again a brilliant story of life in the outer galaxies.
Children born of cloning being groomed and trained in special skills for Grouter of the thieves guild. Many sold as sex slaves however 3 specially created girls were protected from the sex trade and rescued and adopted by a caring family on Vensoog. This is their story and the challenges faced by all who live on the planet and those from other planets they interact with.
Gail Daley thank you again for a terrific read

This was a great continuation of the Teague Clan children. The names can get confusing as there are 14 new ones in addition to the original 5 adopted, but it just seems to work. Deanna (Susana sic) and Robert's (Rupert sic) story has some intrigue as well as foreshadowing of Selick's future in Patrol. Looking forward to the next chapter of the Space Colony Journals

What happens to soldiers when the war ends? If their planet was a casualty, where do they go?A marriage of convenience between two determined, strong willed people sparks a planetary war and puts at risk everyone they love.
Laird Genevieve O'Teague, a beautiful, strong-willed woman became the leader of her people at seventeen. Colonel Gideon Michaels had been a soldier who controlled thousands of fighters in the war. When it was over he needed a new home for his orphan niece and his adopted son. Genevieve's offer would provide both, but could he follow his heart and learn to trust and love his new wife? Vensoog is under attack by pirates and when Genevieve and his niece are kidnapped by an agent of the Thieves Guild, Genevieve and Gideon must learn to rely on each other and their newfound love to defeat their enemies.
Welcome to the far future. The Space Colony Journals are an epic tale of a family's struggle to survive. These are the courageous women and dangerous men who carve a home on the Alien World of Vensoog

A wonderful continuation of the O'Teague Clan's story. Again, this is a different style of writing but I found it to be a very enjoyable read.

When she finds the body of a retired shopkeeper on the beach, a series of mysterious events draws Lady Jayla into a web of passion, terror and murder.
She finally realizes that if she wants to stay alive, she must figure out who the killer is before she becomes the next target.
She faces a slew of other problems while dealing with this crises. She needs to control her dysfunctional house-bot who thinks he's a sex-bot, and cope with Jake, her nosy boyfriend and her overprotective family. She has to find a way to stop the interplanetary jewel thieves who keep breaking into her shop looking for their missing loot. To make matters worse, the local and interplanetary detectives investigating the theft and murder think she either stole the jewels herself or that she makes excellent bait for the real thieves. Take your pick.

An enjoyable mystery/intrigue/romance set on a colony world with fascinating animals and cultural rules. A great continuation of the O'Teague extended family and neighboring clans' story. I can't wait to see what happens next on Vensoog.

All girls look for romance and adventure, but sometimes its better if you don't get what you ask for...
Juliette receives an assignment from the Parliamentary Council that both excites and intrigues her. She and her Dactyl Saura join an expedition team searching for the Lost City of the Elder races.
Accompanied by a diverse group of explorers Juliette discovers there are many dangers on the unknown continent of Kitzingen. When the exploration team encounters refuges from a crashed Life Boat, she spots a Thieves Guild tattoo on one of them and is immediately suspicious.
But the dangers on the expedition are nothing compared to what awaits Juliette when she returns home. Her old enemy, the brutal and callous Van Doyle, intends to kidnap her loved ones.
He has placed a bounty on the heads of Juliette's younger siblings, and it is one his men intend to collect even if they kill to do it. Does Juliette have the courage and skill to foil his plans and save them? Or will they disappear, never to be seen again?

I read the entire series of six fantastic books in a couple of days--did not want them to end! Just loved everything - the premise, the world Gail created, the characters, everything! I can't wait for more - lots of cool characters still looking for love and adventure! You will be very happy you read the series, I promise you! A lot of Alien fiction has heavy stress/pain/torture, you know what I mean. These have adventure, really bad guys, but the story flows smoothly into the heroes...Again, I loved everyone of the six books, they were all perfect!

Lady Juliett is a 'designer child' rescued from the Thieves Guild and bought to Vensoog and adopted by the powerful O'Teague clan.
This is her story as she learns of love and heartache on an expedition to explore a lost city, discover castaways and have her life once again touched by human traffickers.
If you like distopian stories, which sometimes reflect our lives back at us Gail Daley is an author to follow. Always entertaining
Thank you for the opportunity to read your book Gail.

it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read October 29, 2020.
Juliette is a strong capable woman and Isiah is a good calm man to stand by her side. Isaac was a fool. I look forward to the next stage in the saga and can't wait to see who the story will be about.
