Overlord

Galactic Kings, Book 1

By: Anna Hackett

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny, Stephen Dexter

When an experimental starship test goes horribly wrong, a test pilot from Earth is flung across the galaxy and crash lands on the planet of a powerful alien king.

Pilot Mallory West is having a really bad day. She’s crashed on an alien planet, her ship is in pieces, and her best friend Poppy, the scientist monitoring the experiment, is missing. Dazed and injured, she collapses into the arms of a big, silver-eyed warrior king. But when her rescuer cuffs her to a bed and accuses her of being a spy, Mal knows she has to escape her darkly tempting captor and find her friend.

Overlord Rhain Zhalto Sarkany is in a battle to protect his planet Zhalto and his people from his evil, power-hungry father. He’ll use every one of his deadly Zhalton abilities to win the fight against his father’s lethal warlord and army of vicious creatures. Rhain suspects the tough, intriguing woman he pulls from a starship wreck is a trap, but when Mal escapes, he is compelled to track her down.

Fighting their overwhelming attraction, Mal and Rhain join forces to hunt down the warlord and find Poppy. But as Mal’s body reacts to Zhalto’s environment, it awakens dormant powers, and Rhain is the only one who can help her. As the warlord launches a brutal attack, it will take all of Mal and Rhain’s combined powers to save their friends, the planet, and themselves.

I need More!!! Please!!

Anna Hackett delivers yet another fantastic story. I rarely can listen or read a story twice but Anna’s writing makes that possible. This one blew me away as usual.

Good book

I’m not a huge fan of these types of books but this one sounded good and turned out it kept me hook all day with it. I really enjoyed the narrators of this book! Will be looking forward to trying other books by Anna Hackett!

Another fantastic world building and character driven suspense from one of the best - Anna Hackett!

I love that she takes the sting female character to a place totally out of her element, but she never breaks down or gives up. This story shows such a waist range of emotions: suspense, great, intrigue, the ability to allow oneself to be happy when you are in love and how to adapt and change into a new role, while remaining independent. I can’t wait for Emperor!!

Mal West- test pilot turned intergalactic traveler

Mal might have expected some snags to occur in her first test flight of the wormhole technology, but there is no way she expected to be thrust across the universe to crash land on an alien planet. There is also no way she could've planned for meeting someone like Rhain, overlord if said alien planet.

Love the chemistry, love the connection to galactic gladiators, and love that this is yet another book to continue the saga I love so much.

Many reasons to enjoy this story

What a great story! I was hesitant as I have not read an alien story in a long long time. I was pleasantly surprised at how this one developed and concluded. The world building is well done. The story is full of action and creative baddies. The characters are smart and I loved the whole power/energy idea.

I did listen to this on audio. The narration is good but Stephen Dexter’s voice is way too soft. I continually had to turn the volume up and down when he spoke. Vivienne Leheny is a new to me narrator and she did a good job making be think she was Mallory.
