Description:
Captured from Earth, Anna is thrust into a world of heartless aliens, intent on using her as a breeding slave in order to save a prized fighting species on the brink of extinction.
Morrdrook, a Zakiu gladiator slave, fights to win Anna in the arena.
With the choice of facing death or breeding with the Zakiu who won her, the last thing Anna expects is the heated passion aroused by Morrdrook’s touch. He makes her body burn like she never dreamed possible.
As the fights in the arena grow more vicious and the pressure to fall pregnant more desperate, Morrdrook and Anna find solace in each others arms. Soon, their chance at freedom must come.
Review:
After being abducted by aliens, the Druel, Anna and her fellow captives are taken to a planet where they hold gladiator games fought by Zukiu, slaves from another planet. The captives are prizes for the strongest fighters, to breed the next generation of slaves for the Druel’s entertainment.
How did this happened? One moment I was having a quiet night in with my friend and flatmate Sandy, the next our second-story window exploded. We shrieked, frozen in terror at the sight of two, tentacle machines zooming towards us. They must have hit us with some kind of tranquilizer, because the next thing I knew, I woke up naked on a cold metal floor along with bunch of other women.
The first alien tapped its data pad. “We assimilated earth language before collection of the female species.” The device spoke in a droned voice. “Who are you?” He tapped the pad again. “We are the Galactic Supreme Rulers of Druel.” “Why have you taken us?” “Species revival program.”
Anna realises her options are limited and remembers her father’s advice,
Make the most of any situation. My dad drummed the motto into all of his five children
and begins to accept her gentle Zukiu Gladiator Morrdrook and grow more attached to him. Anna and Morrdrook realise its a race against time to get pregnant or she becomes dinner to the alien livestock the Druel keep for the fights.
Although the story is short it was imaginative, fast paced and showed great potential for further books; I really liked Anna’s ability to find the positive in her position and her determination to survive and make a new life for herself. The Zukiu were gentle giants, very patient even if Anna’s fellow captive’s frustrated them, I hope there are more books planned because I’d really like to see them overcome the Druel.
I really liked Captive Surrender and felt it deserved 3 stars.
