This story takes a slightly different direction than the THIRDS books in that the guys are now spies, rather than working in on-the-streets law enforcement. But if you wanted to give it a go and start here, there is probably enough background to get the basics. Some of our old THIRDS friends appear here as well, including Sebastian Hobbs, who is a major side character, and many other folks who make brief appearances. While Cochet does provide some background, as well as a glossary that identifies key players and terms, this is a shared world with THIRDS and readers of the original series are going to find this one much easier to follow. Gone But Not Forgotten kicks off the TIN series, reuniting us with Dex, Sloane, and many other familiar characters. It’s been about four years in real time since the last of the main THIRDS series books was released, and four years in story time as well. Hurray! Dex and Sloane are back in the new spin-off series to Charlie Cochet’s fabulous THIRDs series. One wrong move and Sloane and Dex might not make it out alive.

But Vaughan is wealthy, powerful, and incredibly dangerous. Sloane and Dex are determined to protect all the vulnerable Therians they encounter, as well as to bring down Vaughan and the researchers working for him.

That means that not only does Dex have to play a role that sickens him, but that the men must hide the bond between them or expose the truth about who they are and the connection they have.Īs the men dig deeper into Vaughan and the retreat, they learn that the truth about his motives are even more terrible than they thought.

So Sloane and Dex are headed uncover, with Dex posing as an ultra wealthy man looking to bid on the DNA. As part of the event, the humans are bringing Therians along to show off their skills (and how well “tamed”) they are. Vaughan is holding a retreat for wealthy elite who are vying for a chance to be one of the first humans to get the Therian DNA. Not only is he trying to make humans all powerful, he is looking to subjugate the Therians in the process. He considers it the next step in human evolution, the step humans were cheated out of when Therians got all the abilities. A wealthy maniac named Vaughan is trying to give Therian traits to humans, but without making them shifters. However, their latest case is going to be particularly challenging, as it hits right where the men are most vulnerable. They are also in love and happier than ever, enjoying being partners on the job and in life.

They have spent the time training and honing their skills, and have been enjoying the new challenges. It’s been four years since Dexter Dailey and his husband, Sloane, left THIRDS for jobs working with the Therian Intelligence Network (TIN).
