Larger Than Life - Softcover

Mick Savin is discovered, beaten and bloody, along the side of the road by a woman with even more secrets than he has. Neva Case is an attorney, but she also runs the Big Brown Barn, where young girls fleeing from marriages arranged by their cult-member parents to middle-aged men, and willing to pay for the privilege, can hide before being spirited out of the area. Neva takes Mick in, patches him up, and in return he offers to help her out. This one won't win Kent too many fans among romance readers, although admirers of her original Bond and Gor adventures may enjoy it. It starts out with two teens running for their lives, then gunshots. Next a dog is beaten, and Mick is hogtied and sadistically dragged along rocky ground by two thugs on ATVs. And that's just the introduction to the story, which crams cult practices, abuse, and child prostitution into another graphic tale of sex and organized crime featuring one of the SG-5 team.
