Bold, brainy, and dangerously sexy Gloria VanDeen is back to face another challenge, as the Empire's favorite bureaucrat battles to survive amid political chaos at DEXTA and a civil war between a fascist tyrant and a religious zealot with a strange power over his people. In this fifth volume of C. J. Ryan's popular DEXTA series, Gloria is tested to -- and beyond -- the limits of human power and desire, and the fate of the Empire will be decided by a single kiss -- the Kiss of the Gods!

3I got through it  Jan 04, 2009
I was looking forward to another installment of Ryan's Dexta series. I was disappointed by this book. It took me over a month to finish it.

The previous books were guilty reads that I finished quickly. The "guilty" comes from beautiful people having constant sex with no real romance. The heroes have SciFi adventures while making only minor mistakes.

This book changes the formula. In Kiss the heroes make big mistakes with permanent consequences. That atmosphere clashes with the still beautiful people having even more romance-free sex.

Note this is a BookSurge title which means it is self-published and printed on demand. Thus the high price for a modest length paperback. I must assume Spectra, his previous publisher, was not interested in this sequel.

Kiss of the Gods was okay but nothing compared to the first 4 novels of the Dexta series.

5Bureaucrats Save the Empire Again!  Oct 30, 2008
The latest installment in the saga of Gloria VanDeen and the Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs is a very good one. Gloria finds herself in the middle of a three-way battle for control of the Empire that requires all her wits (and, of course, her stunning body) to win. I particularly like how the characters continue to mature and develop. The major characters have more depth and even the minor ones seem like real people. It is interesting that the Emperor has grown from a rather dispicable cad in the first book to someone who might someday be called "Charles the Great". Even the bad guys are interesting. And there's still plenty of sex :) A fun read.
