Imperator

Galactic Gladiators, Book 11

By: Anna Hackett

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

Space station security specialist Sam has done one thing since her abduction by alien slavers...fight to survive. But now one strong alien gladiator stands at her side and Sam knows she is no longer alone.

Thrust into a lawless desert arena, Sam Santos has done terrible things in order to stay alive. As the Champion of Zaabha, she's been fighting to find a way out. Everything changes when the Imperator of the House of Galen sacrifices his freedom to help her. The hard-bodied, fierce man has vowed to help her escape, but getting out of Zaabha is only the first deadly task they face.

Galen was bred to be a royal bodyguard and protect his prince. With his planet now destroyed, he's grown powerful and forged his wealthy gladiatorial House on the desert planet of Carthago. All Galen knows is honor, service, and sacrifice. Now his life depends on working with one battle-hardened woman of Earth as they fight together to survive. But Sam Santos is not what he expected. Tough, yes. A brilliant fighter, for sure. But there is a softer side to the woman as well. And Galen finds himself irrevocably drawn to all of Sam's captivating facets.

Then they uncover a devious plot by the Thraxians that could bring down the foundations of the Kor Magna Arena and all they hold dear. Galen and Sam will stop at nothing to defeat the evil alien slavers, even if it means war. In amongst the fighting, Sam may finally show a man who lives for everyone else, that he deserves more than just honor and freedom, but love as well...if they survive the coming battle.

Really good

BOOK REVIEW.....
Galen and Sam are an awesome couple. Love the heat and sexiness between them. They are high up in my list of favorite couples in this and all of Ms. Anna's series. I totally recommend this book and this author. If you haven't tried this series you are missing out some great stories.

NARRATOR REVIEW......
The narrator did a good job

My favorite so far

WOW, that is all I can say just WOW
I so love how Sam and Galen came together in this book
Sam is such a strong woman and of course Galen is stubborn as can be.
The path and challenges they face make them both stronger and better together then apart.

If you have read any of the Galactic Gladiators this is a MUST read

Finally!

This is a long awaited book for fans of Anna Hackett's Galactic Gladiator series. Galen has been ever present in the first 10 books of the series but we, the readers, have never had more than a mere glimpses of the man. This is his book and we finally learn just what makes him tick. Vivienne Leheny does an excellent job (I've said it before, she's one of my favorite narrators).Filled with action and steam, this book delivers -- keeping the pages turning and heating up your reader.

Redemption

I knew this book would be a good one and redeems the series. Everything is coming together; Galan and Sam are more realistic to the story; both are more likable. Narrator did a good job. One more book to go!

Love this series

I have enjoyed this books I have listened to each book in the series twice and even purchased these books from amazon they are touching and full of non stop action.

Amazing!

I love Galen and Sam-one if my two favorite couples in this series.
The ending was just wonderful.
Truly fantastic series. Highly recommend.

An excellent conclusion to the Galactic Gladiators

This was one of the most highly anticipated Character of the Galactic Gladiators Series for most all of Anna's Fanbase. I've enjoyed the Series so much and loved the way Anna Hackett wrapped up the Series. The entire Series was unique, original, and one of a kind. Kudos to an excellent Series by Ms.Hackett.

Vivienne Leheny does such an excellent job with this Series as well. I've read the books several times, but now listening to them, she's given me a totally new experience. She's even made me laugh and favour a few characters more than I did the first time reading them through. Fantastic!

All the books are great but this one

All the books are great but this one might be the beat perhaps because u are waiting so long For the story to unfold and waiting for Sam’s story. She is just amazing woman and Galen well they are soo perfect for each other u want to cry lol all these books are so exciting u do not want to stop listening!!

Another awesome book Anna!!

I've bought every single book in this series and I've enjoyed each one. From the storyline, to the narration, it was a great read. Vivienne Leheny did an awesome job with the narration of this series. The only thing that made me want to run out in traffic while screaming was the CONSTANT use of the Spanish word "dios"!!! There are many other words in the Spanish language, but after hearing the word at least 8 times, with 4 being only minutes apart (that was in Chapter 12)... I wanted to pull my hair out! I stopped counting after 8, but it was a lot more earlier in the book. I tried to block it out after that.

Dont get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book, and each and every one that Anna has written, but that really got on my nerves. I will buy every book that she writes, even after this review because she's a fantastic author, but I had to give a true review. Still a 5 star book, and a 5 star author!

One More

When I start one of Ms. Hackett’s books in this series, I pretty much know what’s gonna happen. A gladiator or other Carthago character, is going to fall in love with a human woman, they’re going to overcome all odds, and come out on top. So, I think that I’ll just read one more. The problem is that these books are addictive. I so love the characters, the community, and their world. To discontinue reading in this series is like saying goodbye to some beloved friends. With Galen’s story told, this pretty much ends the series for the House of Galen (with a few loose ends told in the final book). I didn’t think that I would move on to the series of stories that fall under the House of Rone but I just can’t tear myself away. And, as usual, Ms. Leheny did a superb job of narration. I forget that it’s a female narrator when the male characters are speaking.
