Commander’s Mate – Farseek Brigade returns to find their world bombed to ruin by the Sargan Empire. Over a million people are missing, taken to become slaves by the Sargans. With their ten dreadnaught warships, they vow to find their missing people. Because their mission is unsanctioned by the Consortium, they dub themselves the Farseek Mercenaries.

Among the slaves they rescue are four women abducted from Earth. Commander General Zared Maktu recognized Harper Avery as his soul mate or solmatu. He laments that it’s not the best time to start a romance amid their dangerous mission. But finding one’s solmatu results the ultimate relationship with a bond mate.

Argen’s Mate is Zoey’s and Argen’s story. Argen is a Farseek warrior sent to a prison planet because he wasn’t slave material. Argen never thought landing on the prison world would be his lucky break. He meets Zoey on the rescue ship. He walks up to her table and takes her hand. The attraction between them all most crackles.…

Note: The events in these books overlap but are told from different characters’ viewpoints. Farseek Mercenary Series is for adults over 18.

A bit predictable but overall good storyline.

The story itself is good however I wish that the battle scenes were a little more developed and elaborated on. The virtual voice is sometimes off putting as it's inflections are not always appropriate for the storyline. Speaking of which there are a few areas of dialog that is a bit trite at times. In general though the storyline is interesting if a bit predictable. I did enjoy it overall but I think that with a real actor in place of the virtual voice it would have been better.
