In Perry's amazingly good MATADOR TRILOGY we got to meet Juete a genetically created Albino Beauty designed to be a sex toy of the rich who ultimatly became the bittersweet lover of Emile Khadaji. We also briefly see Dain Maro as a Black Market operative Khadaji does business with, less than a page is used to describe their encounter but you are left feeling that with Dain Maro there is much more to him than meets the eye. The Omega Cage is a vehicle Perry uses to re-introduce both Juete and Maro in their own gripping adventure. A Hellish prison called the Omega Cage ends up becoming Maro's new home after a betrayal from within the Crime Guild he belongs to, Black Sun. Once there he encounters Juete who is languishing as the cruel warden's sex slave and....well read the book for yourself. The plot is pure Perry and what could be better?
A decent companion to the Matador series

It's been some years since I read this one, but it seems a shame to leave a good book with no reviews, so please forgive any errors of memory:The Omega Cage is the story of the prison escape alluded to in Perry's more recent novel, Brother Death. It follows a prisoner in the Confed's most secure prison (called, not surprisingly, the Omega Cage). With the help of the warden's albino sex slave, he escapes the prison and makes his way off planet using some interesting alien technology.The pace of the novel is reasonably fast, but because of the prison setting, much of the action is not as brisk as most of Perry's novels.
