Narrado por: J.F. Harding

Torin Mardak came to Zarhab Groht to hunt. Some idiot's been selling Callidum weapons on the black market, and he's been tasked with finding the traitor.

The illegal trading station isn't exactly Torin's favorite place in the Nine Galaxies. It's dirty, chaotic, and full of thieves and murderers, but as an elite Kordolian First Division warrior, he's the most dangerous thing on this floating cesspit, and he won't let anything stand in his way.

But when he encounters a group of humans who really, really shouldn't be here, his priorities might just have to change, because one of them is about to get betrayed in the worst possible way....

And she just so happens to be exactly his type.

Contains mature themes.

good story line

She was disappointing , for such a intelligent woman, she was incredibly stupid. One moment she very observant. Then she asks the stupidest questions......

Loved the story but….-

I really enjoyed the story, just the lack of fluctuations in the readers voice made it hard to know when he switched from one character to another.

Insanely intense action, fantastic story

Darkstar Mercenaries series sets off with a fiery BANG in Taming Chaos. Set in deep space, this new series builds on the Dark Planet Warrior series. One first division Kordolian warrior-now-turned-mercenary finds his mate in the last place he would have ever imagined. This story is intense with action, showcasing the brutal feral fierceness of the Kordolians, as well as their deep love and intense mate bond. Our heroine is strong, super smart, and generously curvy. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book, and totally fell in love with these strong characters. The Audible version is great if you want to enrich your reading pleasure. The emotions leap off the page and each character has their own unfaltering voice.

Amazing book and so sexy narration

If you’re new to the Dark Star universe absolutely you need to read Dark Planet Warriors series first. The Dark Star mercenaries picks up where the original series ends. I loved the story and the chemistry between Persephone and Torin and the story was engaging and interesting with some wonderful spice thrown in. I adore the narrator and this book is so worth a try!

Best in the Series!

Love and tenderness is juxtaposed with danger, protection and a fearsome killing machine. This book moves quickly and keeps the reader engaged from the first word to the last.

Not bad but......

I wish the story was longer. It feels like the ending was rushed and cuts the last chapter.

"refuse to put down" til done

I was interrupted by work, but refused to put it down til the end. The narrator was awesome, never missing a beat, brought goose bumps in places. It has been a while since I have wanted to read (listen to) a book from cover to cover non-stop. Thank you for making the escape from reality so pleasurable.

pleasantly surprised and will get the series

Update - I had no idea this series was a sequel to the Dark Planet series. This 1st book is good as a stand alone, but the 2nd book has a lot of reference to the events that happened in the Dark Planet series so I would suggest listening to those books before starting this series.

I had this book sitting in my wish list for awhile and decided to finally give it a listen so I was very happy to have it be more than I expected. I was invested from the start and enjoyed the scifi world building and HEA story. Overall this is very light on the erotica side and more in-line with typical romance, however the intimate scenes are still very steamy

J.F. Harding did a great job with the narration and I never lost track of the different characters. Really look forward to his narration now.

Bought on Sale

I read the first 3 books in the original series several years ago. The books were enjoyable, bur I didn't feel a need to continue the series or buy the audiobooks. When this book was on a recent sale I decided to try it. J.F. Harding has a great voice and did a wonderful job with the narration. The characters each had a distinctive voice. It was a pleasant and easy listen from the beginning to the HEA and definitely worth my $5. If you already have the ebook, it has been Whispersynced and will be less than $8.

Cordolians

This is another one of the Cordolians. He of course has a healthy respect for the General. I am glad this story has continued with a new series. Thought the story had ended but those guys with cool suits are still around. I will enjoy reading about the new characters and hopefully their connection to the old ones.
