Dark Edge of Honor

De: Aleksandr Voinov, Rhianon Etzweiler

Narrado por: Jack LeFleur

Sergei Stolkov is a faithful officer, though his deepest desires go against the Doctrine. A captain with the invading Coalition forces, he believes that self-sacrifice is the most heroic act, and his own needs are only valid if they serve the state.

Mike, an operative planted within Cirokko's rebels, has been ordered to seduce Sergei and pry from him the Coalition's military secrets. His mission is a success, but as he captures Sergei's heart, Mike is tempted by his own charade and falls in love.

When the hostile natives of the planet Cirokko make their move, all seems lost. Can Mike and Sergei survive when the Coalition's internal affairs division takes an interest in what happened in the dusty mountains of Zasidka Pass?

“Special Forces” Lite

This is a softer, sweeter version of Voinov’s extraordinary 3-book masterpiece “Special Forces”. It’s supposed to be in a sci fi setting but he makes no real attempt to create a different world or a different time: it’s just today’s Afghanistan but supposedly on a different planet. The reader tries too hard, but has little talent. Voinov was once so powerful. But this is just lazy writing and uninspired reading.

Brilliant reader, Brilliant book

Jack LeFleur is an amazing reader. This isn't the first book he's read that I love. I don't know if he picks the books he read (fantasy/sci-fi/romance) or if he's assigned to the genre, but either way he is very well suited. This book is also absolutely brilliant. I found that the combination of a great plot and an excellent reader left me standing staring into space completely focused entire on the words I listened to. Jack LeFleaur puts so much animation, so much emotion, so much emphasis in the way he reads that it's like listening to a movie. I highly recommend the book, am now a new fan of these authors, and I strongly recommend the reader. He could read the phone book now and I'll listen. Good audiobook overall! Five stars!

great story, hut

great story, but the performance left something to be desired. the performer reminded me of a over the top, smug, high brow stereotypical snob.

Exciting story, great characters

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Loved the story, the narrator was perfect and the whole thing was beautifully produced.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sergei - to watch his character develop over the course of the story was incredible.

What about Jack LeFleur’s performance did you like?

He did such great voices and I loved his emotion.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no, way too long

My first boy romance

I loved the story. I loved the characters, I loved the setting. I will be listening to more boy love stories now because of this!

An epic Love story!!!!

It was so great being part of such a story. I could just imagine our two main characters, their internal struggles. Falling in love with the enemy and finally finding a home in each other, something to live for, memories worth holding on to after living a life in shame when duty clashed with self.

I really enjoyed this book, it took us to a whole new fantasy world.

the naration was perfect and on point. never rushed and clear.

Excellent write, I can't wait to see what comes next.

Different in a good way

Excellent world building, characters felt authentic and well developed. There was a lot of material that could have spun into an epic sci-fi saga, but the provided material felt pared down to the relevance of the main characters/story arc. The love was graphic without being sentimental. Not a fluffy romance, but the end was plenty sweet.

Enticing Plot and Thought-Provoking Themes

One of the few pieces of fiction that I've enjoyed in my life. Great story, imagery, themes, and character development.

Dark Edge of Honor

Where does Dark Edge of Honor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a very erotic & emotional story of struggles, both inside and out. Very thrilling and engrossing.

Would you recommend Dark Edge of Honor to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, the internal and external struggles based on duty, upbringing & loyalties span many prejudices and are relatable for many timeframes. Thoughtful & eyeopening.

What about Jack LeFleur’s performance did you like?

Amazing! He has the best voice! Low, sexy, enthralling...and that accent!! Yum!

If you could take any character from Dark Edge of Honor out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Do I really have to choose? A ”Mike/Sergei sandwich” would be yummy!

Any additional comments?

I think it's wonderful to explore new genres and subject matter to expand your mind and enhance your experiences.
