Fool Me Once

Privateer Tales, Book 2

By: Jamie McFarlane

Narrated by: Laurel Schroeder

Celina Dontal just escaped 18 months of captivity at the hands of Alexander Boyarov and his crew, members of the brutal Red Houzi Clan. That should have been the hard part. It was only the beginning.

When she tried to contact her younger sister, Jenny, Celina received shocking news. The one person in the universe that Celina loved and lived for was missing, and no one could tell her what happened. A vague mention of passage booked to the metropolis of Puskar Stellar on Mars was the only clue Celina unearthed, but Jenny hasn't responded to any of Celina's messages.

Celina has no friends on Mars and to make things worse, Boyarov is skating on thin ice with the Red Houzi. He lost their ship and prisoner. Retrieving both as quickly as possible is the only hope he has of preserving his own life. He's on the hunt.

If there is to be any help for Celina and Jenny, it will have to come from strangers. Puskar Stellar is a big city and finding someone who is trustworthy can be a slippery quest.

Fool Me Once, a standalone novella, is the second story in Jamie McFarlane's Privateer Tales.

Entertaining but WAY too short. Not worth a credit

Where does Fool Me Once rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Too short.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the series and the characters.

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

This continuation of the series was enjoyable but was way too short for any feeling of satisfaction. I just assumed it was a normal book when I spent the credit on it via my phone. Now I regret wasting a credit on it.

Any additional comments?

I really don't appreciate short stories tossed into the midst of a series of full novels without it being better called out. Purchasing the next book via my phone app I didn't notice it was so short and not worth the credit. There should be some warning that you are about to spend a credit worth over twice the value of the title so I could save the credit and pay cash instead.

Loved it

Great story….great narration and fast moving. Honestly it fits in so well with the series!

Easy listening

Short story with easy listening. Narrator easily understood and story easy to follow. Fast paced. 2nd book in the series and moving on to the next one!

Good tie in

Great story, that ties in with the first book. hopefully the others are as good!

The most fun you can have with Sci Fi

If you are looking for heavy deep philosophical Geo political analysis like Dune, you have come to the wrong place!

if you're looking for wrapping good time with Spaceships and blasters, look no further!!!

Great read. liked it a lot.it's like saying that

I was very happy with the whole story and I don't think it's going to be too long

Listen to this!

Another amazing installment in an enthralling adventure series! Laurel Schroeder gave a stellar performance that really enhanced my experience. Having already read the book, this performance added texture and a liveliness that made me forget I'd already lived in this story. Keep up the great work Jamie McFarlane and please keep recording your books.

Short giving background on Celina

This is a short story about Celina right after she gets her freedom back (book 1.5).
For the first time since her capture Celina has access to her voice mail and hears messages from her sister. Determined to find her sister, Celina heads out to her last known location. Ready to take on those in her way.

great!

love how it connects to the set. one to the next one
hope they all are on audio

Short but sufficient

Nice little aside. Shows how even those that don't get many breaks can still have some integrity.
