Have just finished the 3rd installment in this series . All are quick
reads , approximately 27 pages each . The story of a Jewish ,
ultra-liberal Harvard undergrad . She becomes mesmerized by an older
Black groundskeeper who takes her on a mind-blowing journey into rough
sex, BDSM and total submission .LOTS of Black on White sex ! Seems to
have run its course with # 3 unless De'Shawn can get Melissa's mother
in his power . Now that would spice things up a lot ! A MILF Jewess
and her daughter enslaved by a charismatic Black Master . Recommend ! 
4 out of 5  (Incognito )

It was very easy for me to identify with the heroine, as a liberal
Jewish lawyer with fantasies about black dominant macho.
Precisely because of this, the point of connection between Melissa and
Deshawn, her future master is not credible to me. Much too easy.
So the key point, that all this story is based on, is very loose.
 Because of this "too easy" shadow, the score I give to this story is
only 3.
  3 out of 5  (Ruthy)

This set is, by far, the roughest, and most satisfying for me, that
I've read so far, of Argus books. Enjoyed the whole set immensely.
I'll be watching for more like these.  5 out of 5  (dinbm)

Lots of characters introduced at beginning.  Probably too many which
might explain why physical descriptions etc. are overlooked.  The FGM
(not my thing!)is fairly detailed unlike some of the book's sex
scenes.  Maybe Mr Norman will focus on the daughter as her she embarks
on enslavement right at the end of the book rather than roving around
a multitude of storylines.     4 out of 5

Firstly to correct a sentence on page 5 : this is the fifth and not
the fourth novel of this series.

I still don't know what to think of this story!  I cannot give less
than 4 stars to this talented author but I think with this last novel
we're losing some thrills that made the series a must read!l

Although I really appreciate the Bermuda series - my favourites being
#1 #2 and #4 - I don't understand why putting more characters in the
story can help the plot.  Why not developping adventures around Amy,
Rebecca and Julia just like the author did in those novels?

Also I didn't feel the same closeness with the main characters as
Spoils of War.  BTW - I think I missed some details in the storyline -
i'd like to know if Rachel and Rebecca (from Spoils) are the same?

Still looking for new tales from the Bermuda Universe!  Keep up the
good work Mr Norman!  4 out of 5  (Galveston)

For half a story I give half points 2.5
The potential is there. The development of the story has just begun.
Then suddently without warning the end.  2 out of 5  (Ruthy)

I found this book fascinating without having read any other from the
serie. There is some remembrance of a famous novel where Black people
are the rulers of the world. As observed by others, there are many
paths opened in this one and maybe there are hesitations between
different directions. Great potential however if the author fully
embraced his own setting.  5 out of 5  (djaam)

Well written story in the style of Gordon Kerr-Peter Marriner . White
women degraded & enslaved by Blacks . Not too long nor short but a
cast of characters that should be whittled down to concentrate on 3-4
main characters .still , an excellent read if you're a fan of the
genre .  5 out of 5  (Incognito)

Sort of OK but I found myself more interested in the story of the fate
of the Pirates than the erotica.  4 out of 5  (Sooty)

A great story that evenly balances adventure and sex.  5 out of 5 
(qubert)

Loved it. Light and breezy. Mix of sex and adventure but not too
overdone. Good escapist erotica.  5 out of 5  (Fred)

excellent interracial domination/forced sex.  Missing some forced
intimacy, but pretty good fun  5 out of 5  (traveler)

Good story. Well written. Enjoyed the little twists and turns.  4 out
of 5  (fred)

Boring and not very interesting  3 out of 5

Another top notch interracial story. Only issue, the wife went black
to fast, should have been drawn out a little more.  5 out of 5

Love all your books, but this may be my favorite.  I know you probably
have a day-to-day life, but I sure would like to see more stories. 
Following up on Olivia, Ada (how far did Eton take her?) and some
others would be fun.    5 out of 5  (sym)

I enjoy Mr. Astor's writing style and this continues my love of his
stories.  It's another awesome work!  5 out of 5  (Sandmanbob)

The examples are the hot part but half the story is is explanation and
planning which not all will find entertaining.  5 out of 5  (qubert)

Not quite what I was expecting and not up to the usual standards of
this author  3 out of 5

Not as exciting as your other books, but I believe you met the intent
of the message you intended to deliver.  

When is your next story coming out?  I don't necessarily get off on
the whole black baby thing, but I do enjoy white women getting slutty
with black men.  You certainly have opportunities to write about
additional slutty activities by Erin from Substitute Husband, the
progress made by Olivia from Olivia's Conversion.  And did Tracy from
No Rules go further, how did Cheryl and Scott's "membership" turn out
from Cheryl's Passage to Black?  4 out of 5  (authoritis)

Quite enjoyed this. Good fantasy at times. Liked the interplay of
characters. Something different; well done.  4 out of 5  (Fred)

Another great story by a very good writer!!
  5 out of 5  (Sandman)

Excellent, erotic and just sexy fun. This goes in the top two books
Eric has written. The only thing keeping it from number one is not
confirming Cheryl's black breeding. If you like interracial and enjoy
Erik's stories, this one is top notch.  5 out of 5

The author obviously is in the "lifestyle" and writes in and erotic
believable fashion. As a couple we are also in the lifestyle and I
have witnessed my wife becoming a BBC connoisseur. This book along
with the others by this author are very erotic.

please keep writing:)   5 out of 5  (thanks)

Horrible, insult to African Americans. Does this author really believe
that people talk like that. 
Don't waste time reading this low intelligent book..
Nothing remotely erotic about it. Poor character development
Basically insulting the African American Race  1 out of 5  (febah47)

different perspective and well thought out  5 out of 5  (brum)

Brilliant story, couldn't stop till I had finished  5 out of 5 
(girly46)

This story is about a black man so good at seducing white women that
he can even convince their white husbands to watch or video tape the
fuck fests he has with their wives. His secret does not lie in his
physical strength or the size of his cock alone, but in his ability to
get inside the woman's head and discover her most secret desires.  Any
man would want to have this power, and could be just as successful
having women beg for it if he could do what Black Oz does.  4 out of 5
 (Tom Spanks)

another good read by Shooter and ,naturally a lot of black and white
sex,but that is why we read his books. Different by having Mom and Dad
in ion the deeds and sex for all  5 out of 5  (homebody1)

I have enjoyed several of the author's books, and at the end of
several of his books wished these stories would continue. I found
myself wondering what would go on in their lives. Now I know! This
book continues these stories of Candace from "Renting My Wife
Candace", of Hannah Trent, from "The Transformation of Hannah Trent",
and "The Progression of Hannah Trent", and Nicole from "White Wives of
the Black Orchid."

It will make you want to go to maps to see if there really is an
island off the coast of Africa that could be a resort for white wives
and black patrons. It is that real--and that good.   5 out of 5

Erik, another great story.  I liked the way you combined the 3 story
lines together.  What's next on your agenda, more story lines about
existing characters, or new characters and story lines?  5 out of 5 
(authoritis)

An excellent follow up. I especially enjoyed the Nicole and Candace
adventures and breeding. I was a little disappointed there wasn't more
Hannah as she is my favorite, especially her adventures with Jamal.
This one had it all, especially loved the black breeding, and I would
like to see more stories like this. Looking forward to the next story,
hope it comes soon.  5 out of 5

This is a great read and has lots of hot sex between black men and
white women hope you enjoy it as much as I did, this is one of my
favorite authors, I give it a 5  5 out of 5

One of the best ever!
payback
blackmailing
Slavery and humiliation
Black master and Mistress
Obese master

and of course ponygirls and modification  5 out of 5  (Ruthy)

excellent piece : the main Master is a vivid character knowing to play
with the sluts both mentally and physically and the flavor of Black
dominance is nice ; could be stronger in my humble opinion.  4 out of
5  (ohu)

Very impressive scenes of training and submission.  4 out of 5
