SLAVE TO SENSATION

Nalini Singh

Berkley / September 2006


Slave to Sensation



Welcome to a future where emotion is a crime and powers of the mind clash brutally against those of the heart.



Sascha Duncan is one of the Psy, a psychic race that has cut off its emotions in an effort to prevent murderous insanity. Those who feel are punished by having their brains wiped clean, their personalities and memories destroyed.



Lucas Hunter is a Changeling, a shapeshifter who craves sensation, lives for touch. When their separate worlds collide in the serial murders of Changeling women, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities…or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation.

Friends Without Borders - From India to Pakistan with Love

A beautiful thing is happening in India and Pakistan. The children of both nations are writing heartfelt letters to one another in an effort to build lasting bridges of friendship. This effort is being run by a group called Friends Without Borders. The hope is that when this younger generation grows up, a much saner world will take over. This video captures the story of this campaign up to the point of delivery of the first round of letters in Pakistan.

It's an amazing story that features "The World's Largest Love Letter" and the famous public service announcement that played on most every network throughout India and Pakistan.
