Lucian Bane's introduction into his new Royal Bastards MC cross-over series Quantum Kings is mind-blowing. The 1st book in the series of the same name Quantum Kings is unlike anything he prepared you for in his Royal Bastards MC: Newark, NJ chapter series. And everything you thought you knew about A.I.'s just forget it. While learning about what this series would be I thought it would be one thing but man was I wrong and I'm glad it was nothing like what was in my head because it's so much BETTER! For Lucian to be able to come up with these characters and these stories it makes me wonder what a day in his head is like because I would never even think of the things I'm reading in this book or others of his for that matter. I can't even decide if this book should be categorized as a sci-fi thriller or a sci-fi BDSM there are so many reasons that it's both.
We met Legend Boxley the King of Quantum Kings in the RBMC series. He is Harlow's greatest creation the mad scientist that he is. Quantum is the 1st of his kind built to protect the innocent at all costs. No one prepared for what would happen when he linked with a woman. Or what would happen when that would was taken away by his brother. Behind everyone's backs, he was making plans to build an army of A.I.s like himself because he realized there were too many innocents in the world that he was not enough to protect them all. He even became the 2nd richest person in the world and bought and remodeled a castle without anyone knowing. Of course telling Harlow when it was time to because he was ready to build his 1st 3 soldiers, which he got from Kult's head. That's when you officially meet Fetch, Fathom, and Fin. Quantum realized through his link with Butterfly that he needed his soldiers to be connected to a woman so they would each have to marry the right type of woman that he found at a convent. He didn't know at the time or maybe he did but he was saving these sisters from their own horrors when he did this. Of course, Q found his wife in Isla who was the leader of the sisters so to speak. And her sister Rowan who first came with her was to be the 1st soldier's wife which is Fetch. That didn't go very well at first until Kult showed up with the whole family even Levi and Becky and had a talk with him. Hearing Rowan's story even just the small part we have was heartbreaking. How that girl survived what she did is beyond me and tells me she can for sure survive Fetch's sick obsessions. Harlow also met a sister that interested him but Harlow being Harlow played his sick games with her and when the book left off he was in a bad place. I'm guessing that is where the 2nd book will pick up.
I gave this book a 5-star rating and a 5-spicy rating. It was just off the charts steamy and domineering just like I like. And in Lucian fashion, it told multiple storylines at once and left you asking more questions than you started with. I can't wait til the next book Fetch comes out so I can read what happens. Right now I'm left wondering are they really soldier A.I.s meant to protect or sexbot A.I.s meant to bring pleasure??
