About this listen
Eliana is hurtling through space on board a Lasaran battleship and getting to know not one but two alien races. It's the most exciting adventure of her long life...until the ship is unexpectedly attacked. Amid the chaos, she valiantly helps everyone she can before an explosion renders her unconscious. When Eliana awakens, she finds herself alone, floating in space, clad only in a spacesuit, with no ship in sight.
Commander Dagon and the crew of the Segonian battleship Ranasura respond to a distress call from their Lasaran allies and join a massive Alliance-wide search-and-rescue mission. He quickly achieves communication with a lone Earthling female and races toward her. Every time they speak, he becomes more desperate to reach her before her oxygen supply runs out. Her strength, bravery, and humor entice him, even more so when she defies all odds and they meet in person.
As he and Eliana embark upon a quest to find her missing friends, a bond swiftly grows between them. But they are not the only ones searching for Earthling survivors. When Eliana herself becomes the hunted and their enemies begin to close in, can the two of them fight their way to victory?
Contains mature themes.

Absolutely Wonderful!
A really really GREAT second book in the series. I like that it it with a totally different Alien Species and Eliana is just so Fantastic!
I have to say, that yes still a few repitions but not enough yo distract from a cracking good kick ass story.
It is straight onto book 3 for me NOW!

Love this offshoot series
I absolutely loved the Immortal Guardians series and found this connected series quite by chance - what a wonderful world this new one is proving to be. The narration is, as always, first class so top marks all round - story, world building, characters etc.

Another great sci-fi adventure romance
Definitely a cut above the usual alien human romance. Original storylines, good world building, fun concepts for tech and aliens. With a nice romance as well.

A Stellar Adventure In This Sci-fi Romance Series.
I’m already a big fan of Dianne Duvall’s books but sci-fi is not my usual reading genre. However, I love Dianne’s writing style, the language she uses and the way she paces her plots.
I was drawn into this story and remained hooked throughout.
We’d already met our leading lady, Eliana, in The Lasaran and Broken Dawn. The soft spot I had for her only grew as this story progressed. She was perfect. Eliana displayed all the traits that I need a protagonist to have: resilience, intelligence and gumption. Plus she had me cracking up with laughter on numerous occasions. Dagon was also a protagonist that I enjoyed getting to know. The strong, stoic commander of his Segonian ship who rarely smiled but lead his crew by example. I loved seeing Eliana peeling back his protective layers and getting under his skin.
Both main and supporting characters are written with a range of personalities without being stereotypical.
What makes characters believable, are their traits. Even when reading fantasy and science fiction, I need to recognise human psychologies to build that emotional connection. The Segonian introduces us to a whole host of other characters and alien races. However, be they, hero or villain, each one was written with credibility – Dianne made me never doubt they were real.
Kirsten Potter narrated this story as she has for Dianne’s other books.
Kirsten’s performance was excellent. She manages to convey just what the story needs, when it’s needed. Not only with the emotion, tension and performance she adds to the narrative, but the skill at which she uses her voice for the dialogue. Kirsten is one of the best narrators that I’ve heard and easily transports me into each scene.
There were quite a few jumps along the story timeline. However, I understand that they were necessary to “get everything in” and keep the pace engaging. I can’t wait to get back into space and join the Aldebarian Alliance now that the scene has been set.

Recommended listening after just a few minutes in!
I hardly EVER leave reviews but after a few minutes in, a scared injured dying and utterly isolated woman makes every listener want her to just stay alive; listen to her intently and have her somehow be rescued... in time (apart from those that just love to crush the underdog under their feet).
I do recommend listening to this book. To get full enjoyment I recommend listening to the first book, "A Sorceress of his own"- followed by the first book in this series.
