Anna Carven
Alternate cover edition of ASIN: B01F2WTGFK Other alternate cover editions can be found here and here ***This book contains the first three Dark Planet Warriors books, Invasion, Taken and Escape (which were originally released as a three-part serial) in one single volume. *** Abbey Some scary looking aliens have just boarded Fortuna Tau, our little asteroid mining station. Kordolians, by the looks of things. What the hell do they want with this floating rust bucket? What are they even doing here? In the grand scheme of things, Earth is a total backwater, and the Solar System is the galactic equivalent of Hicksville. That's why aliens rarely bother to come to this corner of the universe. And Kordolians are usually too busy conquering the important parts of the nine galaxies to bother with us. But it looks as if their battle cruiser is broken. Probably shot up in a firefight. They're going to use every means necessary to fix it, even if it means putting Fortuna Tau on lockdown. I just hope they don't decide to enslave us and ship us off to some remote alien planet. Come to think of it, I've never seen a Kordolian up close before. They're huge, with strange silver skin and pointed ears. They have freaky nano-armor. And they're packing a serious arsenal. Our human technology has no chance against their weapons. When I encounter their General, I find him insufferable. Arrogant. Domineering. He won't tell me anything. I guess that's what happens when your race is kicking ass across the nine galaxies. You get pigheaded. So why do I keep running into him? Why is he looking at me funny? And what's with this weird feeling I get when he's around? I really hope these guys fix their ship and go away soon, because I get the feeling they could be major trouble. Tarak Sucked into a wormhole during a fierce skirmish with an enemy ship. Spat out near a human mining station in a remote corner of the nine galaxies. Stuck with weak humans who operate with inferior metals and technology. This mission couldn't get any worse. We need to fix our craft before the wormhole collapses. We need to hunt the cursed Xargek monsters that have infiltrated this human rust-bucket. And these infernal headaches of mine are getting worse. I don't really care about these humans. Their existence makes no sense to me. All I care about is killing Xargek and getting back to my home planet, Kythia. This situation is tiresome. The light of the star humans call the Sun burns my eyes. I crave Kythia's darkness. So why has this crazy human female captured my attention? She's messy, awkward and she babbles nonsense half the time. These humans are crazy. I don't understand them at all. Especially this female. Why do I keep coming back to her? I need to leave this place before I go insane Warning: This book contains swearing, violence and steamy sex scenes. It's recommended for readers aged 18 and over.

It was alright. I think this is pretty consistent with other space romance where a human lady hooks up with a Big Sexy Alien (TM).
Abbey is a scientist on a space station in the future. Some Kordolians show up to fix their ship and we are told a bunch of world building stuff. The General is curious about Abbey, and when she falls 100 feet, running from a different alien monster, breaks her whole body, he takes her to his planet too be fixed up, which involves getting some of his blood and nanotechnology.
Then, there’s a bunch of political stuff while Abbey and the general start hooking up. His pov is that he’s definitely keeping her, she keeps asking about going to the space station or earth.
He finds out that Kordolians are compatible with humans, and they could make babies together. He DOES NOT EXPLAIN THIS TO ABBEY, even though they are having sex and baddies want to kidnap her over it. She is on birth control, but he doesn’t know this. In 2025 this was not cool.
I was a little frustrated by Abbey and the things she would or would not ask about Kordolians culture. At one point she’s just recovered from surgery after her entire body was broken, she’s on an alien ship, no idea what these people are like other than they have taken over half the galaxy. Does she stay in her room like general asks? No, perfect time to explore and get her ass kidnapped.
In the middle of him going off to fight a baddie, she thinks, “oh I gotta ask him about that nanotechnology suit”. I don’t know, several things just hit weird in the moment.
This set up a whole Kordolian + human series, there are few females on their planet and there’s going to be a big group leaving to get away from the evil empire. Interesting set up and mostly easy reading. Not unique at this point, but that’s ok if you want an easy to get into series.
