About this listen

Simone has hunted and slain psychotic vampires for hundreds of years and desperately needs a change. When the leader of the Immortal Guardians offers her an opportunity to guard ten mortal women who are venturing to another planet, she dives right in and finds traveling into space just as exciting as she'd hoped . . . until an enemy attacks. Simone saves everyone she can before she's thrust into an escape pod and the ship explodes.

Despite his fierce reputation and propensity for violating the law, Janwar has formed a friendship with strait-laced Prince Taelon of Lasara. When the prince's ship is destroyed, Janwar joins the Aldebarian Alliance-wide search and rescue mission and soon locates the Gathendien ship that launched the attack. Much to his surprise, someone else has reached the ship first: one of the very Earth women he hoped to rescue.

Fascinatingly fierce, Simone bands together with Janwar and his crew to search for her missing friends. The friendship that grows between Janwar and Simone deepens into love. But the enemy warriors they face boast more weapons in their arsenal than the alliance knows. Can Janwar, Simone, and such a small crew vanquish them?

Contains mature themes.

The Best Duvall Yet

I really liked this book. Best one in all her series. It had adventure, romance and a lot more humor than the others. I could see the Pirate, Simone and crew having their own Series. Sorry I won’t even try to spell the names of the Askeli ship and crew so Jack Sparrow is his name to me.

Less descriptive on the torture, which was getting old for me. And was the biggest baddest vessel in space. This ship is so advanced and stealthy, Simone more accomplished than all before her, it was win win all the way. I loved it. I hope to see them completing many more of the rescues. Maybe acquiring a few more immortals as crew members along the way. Can’t wait to download the nest in the series

Girl power! Fun and heartwarming

I adore Simone because of her love of life which is surprising because she’s 700 years old. The pirates are all good guys forced into the life due to circumstances beyond their control. They save Simone and later they all save 3 more Earth women.

as with all of Diane Duval stories I'd love this one I can't wait for the next one. the narrator is truly gifted there's just the right amount of excitement and suspense. and she's able to switch from male to female without fudging it.

Another amazing story!

Ms. Duvall is such a talented author. Her writing flows beautifully and paints a vivid picture in your mind's eye. The characters are full of depth and humor. The plot is well-developed and draws the reader into everything the characters experience. Romance is alive and well in this installment, and the sentiments elicited by the story are sweet and thoroughly enjoyable. Bravo, Ms. Duvall. I love Kirsten Potter's narration. Together, author and narrator make a fantastic team.

Captivating!

Get ready for a powerful, out of this world story! The Akseli is full of action, adventure, and a head strong heroine all will adore. Simone, an Immortal Guardian from Earth takes a first time journey into space and is jam-packed with unique trials, all while she maintains a fulfilling determination to keep her chin raised high through it all. Janwar is a space pirate set to rescue Simone and her brethren, only he isn't expecting all what Simone brings to the table. These characters are quick-witted, passionate, and know how to kick ass! My kind of fun!
Dianne Duvall knows how to take her readers on an adventure, exploring unique planets, aliens, and unearth imaginative secrets throughout the Aldebarian Alliance series. Kirsten Potter is a narrator magician with the abundance of characters she plays. Do not miss this one!
