About the Author
After thirty years of working with the unemployed, coping with threats, tears and broken lives (and these were only from fellow staff), LV Lloyd decided it was time to make her escape. And what better place to go than the world of m/m romance? She started writing Dangerous Tension, her first ebook, years ago, but put it aside due to work and family commitments. In 2012, she dusted off the foolscap pages stored under her bed, finished the story and turned it into a book. Since then, she has written three more ebooks in the Aurigan Space Saga series, and numerous short stories. Untouchable is the fifth book in the series. LV Lloyd lives in Adelaide, Australia, with her family and two cats. In her spare time she enjoys fishing and visiting the many local wineries.

Standalone Sci-fi Mystery
By Reflection
I was provided with a copy of Untouchable in exchange for an honest review.
Untouchable has a sparse writing style and a brevity of chapters that I really enjoyed. The downside being that I was tempted to read 'just one more'(and then another and another) chapter whilst I should be doing other things like working or sleeping. The story kept rolling at a cracking pace and as the plot unfolded various twists and turns it was intriguing to see how each of the main characters reacted and interrelated with one and other.
The main protagonist Alan Stewart is well respected and open in his sexuality, and is deeply hurt when his former best friend Lang, suspects him of making inappropriate advances on his son Max Lang.
The story has an interesting mix of not one, but three romances, all with various age brackets and varying degrees of openness about their sexual preferences. Untouchable has a lightness of touch and a deftness that despite the pared down writing style conveys empathy and portrayssomewhat flawed and immensely likable individuals. There is also a mystery that kept me guessing the motivating factor behind a blackmail threat.
I enjoyed this scifi romp greatly as it concentrated mostly on the human dynamics of a group of guys living and working together. Told in the third person and from various perspectives, this was an engaging read with moments of humour, as each of the protagonists considered life, love, loyalty, relationships and their careers in the light of their own self-acceptance and sexual preferences.
I guess I was a little disappointed that in this new universe settled by humans sexuality would still be the subject of social prejudice. Untouchable depicted a life where being homosexual or 'om', whilst not illegal seems to hold some personal and professional difficulties. I was pleased that each of these men acted largely with personal integrity (some more immediately than others).
I had not read other books in this series and that was not a hindrance, Untouchable can easily be read as a standalone book. One star removed for some minor quibbles I have about plot holes. Over all a really enjoyable reading experience and some interesting world building.

Complex and intriguing
By johanna
Note: This is the fifth of the series and yet it reads quite well as a standalone. It took some time to get the terminologies straight but eventually, it came easier as I read alone.
Untouchable is the story of two men who were considered Untouchable. One is the son of Captain Robin Lang of the Huan Police Force, Max; the other is Michael Banner, a medic onboard the Qatar. Each have their own reasons for being untouchables, each define the lives of two best friends. Both men are 'om,' short for homosexual.
Let's start with Max. He is the son of Robin Lang and Robin is very protective of him. When Max begins to show signs of being an om, Robin is scared, he is angry, he is fearful. He fears men will not treat the boy right. When he sees Max's crush on his best friend, Alan Stewart, he flips. Literally. Thus ends the friendship between the two men and Robin simmers in anger. The reasons, you have to read yourselves, I cannot risk spoilers here at this point.
Now let us consider Michael. He is an om, he admits to it, but his being a medic onboard the Qatar is risky because of that status. Thus, he cannot risk admitting to being an om. The regulations clearly states he cannot work as a medic if he is one. But he falls for Alan Stewart and Alan falls for him. Alan, so much older, cannot believe this beautiful young man would even consider him, but then, Alan feels the same way. And this is where the complications begins.
Alan rescues Max from certain rape and probably death but is stunned shot by the third assailant. When he wakes up, he is blamed by Robin to be the assailant placing his integrity and career at risk. He has an alibi, Michael, but if Michael steps up, his career would be put at risk and where would both end? In the sidelines, Robin's anger is focused on Alan unwilling to even consider any other assailant possible. Why? Again, please read...
Thus the convoluted mess that is Robin's actions affect everyone onboard the Qatar and people are asking why Robin is acting like he is. Max's statement is imperative to clear Alan but he is still in a coma. It is left to Michael to step up to the challenge without risking his career. Alan is angry at Robin for even thinking he would harm Max, the boy he saw born and grow up into a stellar young man.
In the meanwhile, we have a mystery to solve: who are the assailants and why did they target Max in particular? That is the question that spurs this story on until the very last page. Be warned, there are many twists and turns that can give you whiplash at best, but its all for a good reason.
In this space-age story, the oms are still considered anathema in certain parts. The same bigotry survives at this time as it does today, the same fears for those who just realize their sexuality live on. For all the sci-fi action and mystery going on here, the author managed to make this a very light read, although the pace slows down in certain areas. Overall, this is a standalone read but I would recommend (***note to self) reading the first four. Just to get a better picture of this new world.

5 stars I really liked this book
By Delaney
This book has been given to me for free in exchange for an honest review.
4.5 stars
I really liked this book. This book has three couples who's relationships are working out throughout this story. Captain Lang, best friend to Lt Stewart and father to Max, is I would say a cause and effect character. He is in strong denial of his sexual orientation through most of the story and the things he says and does causes some dire things to happen.
The first being Lt Stewart is charged with the assault and rape of Max. Which brings me to one of the things I didn't like and that is the beginning of this book. It starts with a prologue where Lt is bing arraigned for the charges, and then the first chapter said 3yrs earlier, 2nd chapter -present day (but really was before the prologue-I didn't know where we were going. I hate starting a book at a point and then having to go to the past and come forward. Thankfully that past came to present 30% in.
A lot happens in this story, assault, kidnapping, murder and of course love. It's all here and moves along at a fast pace. There were times I thought I knew what was going to happen and I was wrong. Of course there were also the times when I though " really? Your an idiot!"
I thought the last 4 or 5 chapters were a little rushed, a lot of stuff happening. But all in all I thought this was a fantastic story in an interesting setting and I'm going to read more of this author.
