Adrift

The Sirilians, Book 1

De: Nicole Krizek

Narrado por: Lessa Lamb

No one can say when the end is near. It can come from a plague, warfare, or a natural disaster. For the people of Siril, the end of their world came from space. The massive solar flare that collided with their planet wasn't something they could prepare for, or prevent. Millions perished instantly, and those that survived looked to the stars in steel-eyed defiance.

Karincin's life has been dominated by familial expectations, duty, and celibacy. He attended all of the correct schools, won the worthy awards, and leads a cutting edge team at the Department of Space. His life is going exactly as planned, until he's assigned a mate.

Aevum is nothing like he expected. She's free-spirited, passionate, and doesn't adhere to Karincin's pre-arranged life. She challenges everything he's been taught to believe, and awakens suppressed desires he didn't know he had.

He was never prepared for such an irrational craving as lust.

After his planet is ravaged by natural disaster, Karincin is selected as one of 12 scouts to be sent into space to discover the looming peril to his people. It is a great honor, and one the Sirilian people desperately need him to perform. But it will make him choose between his life's work, and his own awakened heart.

What awaits him in the void of space? And if he goes, would he ever return to the woman he loves?

Interesting Twist

The Sirilians series was an interesting plot twist to the story that began in the Arathians series. I honestly wasn't sure I was going to Like the H character, Karo in the beginning but getting a little background on his life and seeing how Aevum was able to bring out his relaxed, silly side, endeared me to him. It was an easy listen but had all the elements of a good story. There was Love and Romance, Tragedy and Loss and and Finally an HEA with just a few vague questions leaving an opening for another story. I recommend reading/listening to the 2 series in chronological order which means reading the first 3 Arathians books first, then the 2 Sirilian books and ending with the 4th Arathians book.

The narration was excellent. I would listen to anything Lessa Lamb narrates.

Well done

You can call this Sirilians, Book 1, but it’s also Arathians, Book 4, and is best read after Alien Incursion. Both of the current Sirilian books have characters from Arathians. Additionally, characters from Adrift and Unearthed are in Alien Revelation, which is the next in the series arc.
In this story, the author does a really good job creating a gentle, almost dreamy, definitely otherworldly atmosphere with the story and characters; I can actually visualize it as a movie as I’m reading/listening.
This is one of the few (only?) then-and-now stories I’ve read that I like. It’s clearer when going between the present day timeline story -space- to the previous timeline story -Siril- both are really good. Actually, this book is a cut above the first 3 Arathian books, as it has the fewest gaps in logic or story, and the fewest misused words.
What’s shocking is how long Karo has “actually” been in space. That’s where the logic of the story breaks down, so you have to ignore the gap, and just enjoy it as is.
Lamb does a decent job of narration. She seems to be a good pairing with Krizek for book editing and audiobook production.

Awesome Story and narrator. I loved this book

The story was intriguing, emotional and passionate. The narrator was awesome. She really made the characters come alive. The combination of great writing and great narration, makes this a "Must Read/Listen" for any SyFy fan.

WOW!!

What an amazing story writer! I have fallen in love with each book. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift of writing!

Fantastic story!

I have listen to a couple of this authors audiobooks and they are fantastic storyline. I definitely recommend this book. I also recommend this author and narrator! I’m a Sci-fi junky who loves a great romance story. This author and narrator deliver both! The storyline has intrigue,mystery, romance and some suspense.
The narrator does a fabulous job with the characters and voices of each character which makes it easy to distinguish between the characters. She does a great male voices and female. She also makes the story seem to come alive with her narration! I definitely recommend this book.
