Gabriel’s Ghost

The Dock Five Universe Series, Book 1

By: Linnea Sinclair

Narrated by: Dina Pearlman

Award-winning author Linnea Sinclair brings her special sizzle to science fiction with this action-packed blend of otherworldly adventure and sexy stellar romance.

After a decade of piloting interstellar patrol ships, former captain Chasidah Bergren, onetime pride of the Sixth Fleet, finds herself court-martialed for a crime she didn't commit and shipped off to a remote prison planet from which no one ever escapes. But when she kills a brutal guard in an act of self-defense, someone even more dangerous emerges from the shadows. Gabriel Sullivan alpha mercenary, smuggler, and rogue is supposed to be dead. Yet now this seductive ghost from Chazs past is offering her a ticket to freedom for a price. Someone in the Empire is secretly breeding jukors: vicious and uncontrollable killing machines that have long been outlawed. Gabriel needs Chaz to help him stop the practice before it decimates Imperial space. The mission means putting their lives on the line but the tensions that heat up between them may be the riskiest part of all.

Great scifi romance!

This was a fun and exciting read! I have downloaded the entire series! Searching for more by Linnea Sinclair, hope they will put her other works on audio!

Find other Words!!

Any additional comments?

Only gave a 3 for Story because of the constant repetitions of some words. Like 'Obsidian'. I think I got the idea of Sully's eye colour after it was referred to as Obsidian for the 15th time. Pity that wasn't the last time.

Audiobook better than actual book

Would you listen to Gabriel’s Ghost again? Why?

I would listen to it again if I were doing a re-read of the series.

What did you like best about this story?

The love scenes.

What about Dina Pearlman’s performance did you like?

I wasn't planning on re-reading any of her books, but this was on sale at Audible and from the sample it sounded pretty good. Another example of an audiobook making me enjoy the book more. Dina Pearlman is the narrator of this book. When I read it initially I didn't know what all the hoopla was about this book. It was just okay to me. But the narration was so wonderful that I ended up really liking the book and have upped my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars. I just wish that Games of Command was an audiobook because I'm struggling through that one right now.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Excellent Space Opera

I’m a new fan! So glad I stumbled upon this book series. I’m going to recommend it to all my friends.

Absolutely favorite characters

The world building and storyline are phenomenal. The heroine and hero have incredible chemistry, good banter, and have some tender, but gut wrenching moments loved this book couldn’t recommend more.
