Destroyer

Hidden Planet, Book 1

De: Anna Carven

Narrado por: Jonathan Sleep

A hair-raising ambush. A malfunctioning ship. A distant, uncharted part of the Universe.

Calexa Acura and her crew of misfits are lost, and their ship is in desperate need of repairs. When a massive spacecraft appears in their radius, they're helpless to resist its magnetic pull.

The terrifying ship is bigger than any craft she's seen in her life, and somehow, she doubts its occupants will turn out to be the friendly sort.

First Encounters are always better when they're amicable, but if necessary, Calexa and her crew will fight.

It's what they've always done.

Contains mature themes.

Fighting for Survival

I liked the fierceness of Calixa and how she never gave up. The two were perfectly matched although that ending was kind of wild. I wonder which one of the humans will fall next and if it will be another thruple? Hmm???

Good read

This was a good start to book. However, I wish the storyline was a little bit better. It didn’t really give any true context of what happened. It’s just like a whole bunch of chaos going on given that this is the first book so I’m gonna say it’s gonna set the scene for other books, but I wish there was just a little bit more questions answered about the history of the planet and everything that was going on all in all good

Hard to get interested in

I really loved the Dark Planet Warriors and Darkstar Mercenaries series so I was looking forward to a new series from Anna Craven. I had a hard time getting interested in this story and the narrator made it even harder as he just didn’t seem like the right fit for the story. Much of the story line was confusing in the way it was portrayed. Just hoping that the next book in the story is more interesting and coherent. Off the listen to book 2.

Is this even the same author?

I was very excited for the new Anna Carven book. I have read all the adventures with the Kordolians. I knew this would be different going in. It was different, but it wasn’t. Seems like the ideas were a mishmash of the other books, without the smooth narration or world building. I hesitated to write a review because I generally just don’t like to go out of my way to be negative. But I really liked Anna Carven and so I’m writing this in the hopes that the next book gets back to what she is good at. Maybe next time don’t make all the ships and aliens out of stuff that is very nearly impossible to describe without a visual. I didn’t feel like I had a good grasp in my mind about the appearance of any of the aliens, the ships, the change in the main character, anything. And spread out the explanations of the new world, that first chapter was a doozy and not in the good way. And the narrator…. His voice is not made for this type of book. Also hard to understand how sexy time with Ares (i can’t remember how she spells it) could be so meh….

With her other series I was excited for the next book. With this, I find myself wishing this was a one-off. I read books y other authors like this and it doesn’t bother me.. I think I just had higher hopes based on her other books.

I Felt Very Sci Fied!

My goodness! I feel like I’ve read a Sci Fi book!

Indescribable monsters. A fierce cyborg mfc. Slaves, a rebellion, lots of battles. Tails, fangs, metal bones, telepathic abilities. It’s all here!

Anna Carven is a new author to me, I think I will finish this series.
