Champion

Prison Planet Series, Book 3

De: Emmy Chandler

Narrado por: Jillian Macie, Aiden Snow

Sylvie Wolfe made a bad decision, for a good reason. Now, sentenced to death for her crime, she has only one decision left to make - the method of her execution. Most people pick lethal injection.

Sylvie demands death by combat.

Her choice gets her sent to the prison planet Rhodon, where in zone one, the galaxy's most dangerous convicted murderers fight to the death on camera in a gladiatorial-style competition that will end with one inmate being declared the champion. And having his-or her-death sentence commuted to life in prison.

Graham Anderson thinks he's lost his mind when he sees a woman in zone one. He pulls Sylvie into his cell just before lockdown, temporarily shielding her from a throng of monsters intent on laying claim to her. By the time the doors unlock at dawn, he's made nearly 100 vicious new enemies and lost his heart to the fiercest, sexiest, most determined woman he's ever met.

With death looming in the arena and foes aligning against them behind the scenes, Sylvie and Graham must fight for every moment they share. But in the end, there can be only one champion. Which means only one of them can leave the arena alive...

Contains mature themes.

Could be a movie

One of the best in the series, with an interesting story line and great characters.

Great plot!

I love this series! I’m so disappointed that I only have one book left to complete the sep. I wish the series was longer.

Another fast paced story!

This third audiobook in this series was exciting and had great characters. The prison planet has a new inmate for the bullpen, where the prisoners on death row fight to the death on camera. The big surprise is that it’s a woman! Please note: there are a couple trigger scene of near rape, so if this is a touchy area then I’d proceed with caution. The hero impulsively defends her when she first arrives and they quickly fall for each other. When the UA prison starts to pit them against each other, they must figure out how to win without one of them dying. Narration was excellent, I especially love Aiden Snow’s Deep voice!

Great Story

In spite of horrible female narration this story is good enough to keep you completely engaged.

Are you not entertained?!

This installment took the Hunger Games idea of sponsors and scripted fights, and combined it with Gladiator style arena fights to the death… only with a lot more sex. I lost count of the number of times where Sylvie got her clothes torn off and was almost violated. Thankfully, neither Syvlie nor even any secondary characters got used sexually. There’s some reference to past crimes and trauma, but nothing happens on screen.

No, the only sex was between Syvlie and Graham. And boy do they have a lot of sex considering the life and death atmosphere, not to mention living in a prison cell block with cameras and pervy men egging them on (and worse). Maybe not realistic, but what about this sci-fi, romance, gladiator thriller should have been realistic? The point is entertainment.

This is a series for those who want a pulpy thriller to go with their romance. There was quite a bit of carnage (the type normally seen in movies like Death Race, Riddick, or Mad Max). Sylvie was every bit the warrior that Graham was. I loved that she used her smarts and her skills.

I did find the ending a bit rushed and oh-so convenient. I also found it odd that Sylvie essentially left an important someone stuck in the arena when they escaped. Perhaps his story will be told in a later book, but it felt wrong that she wouldn’t go back for him.
