Nikhil

Kaliszian, Book 1

De: M.K. Eidem

Narrado por: Ian Gordon, Jennifer Gill, Griffin Murphy, Jess Friedman

As the squad leader of the Elite Warriors, Nikhil Kozar was the largest warrior in the Kaliszian Empire. When a shuttle crashes on one of their planets, the search and rescue mission turns into something much more complicated.

Mackenzie 'Mac' Wharton had agreed to guide a group that had wanted an adventure on her mountain. They got more than they bargained for when they were all abducted by a group of aliens called the Ganglians. Badly beaten and barely alive, Mac finds herself in the arms of the largest male she's ever seen. She should fear him, should be fighting to get away from him, but there was something about the massive male that called to her.

A traitor threatens the Empire. Someone wants Nikhil dead. The Zaludians want Mackenzie back. And then there was the secret she's keeping. Would it be the one thing that finally brought down the Kaliszian Empire? Or would it be the first step in its rebirth?

Pretty good.

This is my 3rd book by M. K. Eidem and I liked it okay. The author definitely has a formula that I've noticed. I don't know that I'll continue with the series.

Narrators were good. A bit mechanical at times, but still good. Definitely better than the narrating in Grim which uses different American accents as different alien accents (kind of comical).

A major point of distraction in all three of Eidem's books I've read so far is the SOUND EFFECTS. I really wish they weren't there. Sometimes the sound effects don't even match the story which can be extremely confusing. The chapters have exceptionally long pauses in-between, and there's a bumper music lead-in to every chapter that sounds like spa music. It's weird. Then there's a song at the end. The only thing I can think is that the author or someone close to the author is a musician (synthetic) and is being heavily featured in these recordings. I can't imagine an audio publishing company would be coming up with this format.

Love this author

Would you consider the audio edition of Nikhil to be better than the print version?

Yes.

What did you like best about this story?

I love this author's male characters.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Of Course Nikhil.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hot alien causes sizzle

Any additional comments?

The story is fun, light, and the male characters honor and protect women. I like how the aliens are astounded at how human males treat females and how inadequate human males are at protecting us. The female human characters are strong, a little ridiculous but still lovable.

Science

Love it can hear it over and great author all the book want more of them

Great story but...

I really enjoyed listening to this but the ending was abrupt. There were many loose ends.

Good story but liked reading better

I like the story but I did not like the main characters voices as much as I usually do. I am not a fan of all the background sounds and these annoyed me more than normal. Over all a good continuation of the series and a good stand alone with a good lead into the next book in the epilogue. This one alluded to book one but if you did not read it you would not notice it. Over good if you look over the voices of the lead characters. Happy listening.

another great one

I love the sound effects and multiple narrators in all of M K Eidem's audios. I cannot wait for the next one

Good story .... but not worth a credit

I enjoy a strong female lead when she is strong and not a 2 sided unsure bitch.... she is so confusing, one minute she holds onto Nik the next she lying to him .... she expecting him to know her worlds culture, while ignoring his ....
Then she reams him a new one for holding back info ... then cries " but it's different " . When she does the same thing ....

Good story idea , but fails short .... Way to much unneeded drama ....

another 5 start from MK Eidem

I loved this story. M.K.Eidem is my go to Author when I need a off world fix. definitely a book I will remember read

Wonderful story

This was hey well thought-out story with strong characters good plucked fast movement and action.

This is the way a book should be read

Finally a book worth listening to. Very entertaining. Wish all books were narrated in this manner.
