Publisher's summary
Black Widows is a thrilling science fiction series about the infamous all-female mercenary unit. Aboard their heavily-armed ship Medusa, they embark on secretive missions throughout the crumbling Confederacy as it wages a terrible and bloody civil war.
The lives of Syala and her twin sister Arana change forever on the day the slavers hit their new home on the Skylla Research Facility. It is a day that started like any other, before turning into a terrifying massacre as soldiers and hideous creatures swarm through the facility killing or enslaving anyone that stands in their way. The sisters struggle to survive as a desperate few try and fight back, but nothing can hold back the horde. Until they find a single mercenary dressed in black armor who refuses to back down. Her name is Zhang Wei, and she is a Black Widow.

Star Dreadnought Bismarck is the Vrokan Empire’s latest weapon, a monstrous warship of a size and power never seen before that could turn the tide of the war. It is the sixth year of the Void Wars, and only the allies of the Commonwealth remain standing against the unstoppable tide of the brutal Vrokan Empire, still unwilling to yield after numerous setbacks. When a fortuitous reconnaissance flight spots the behemoth leaving port, they know they must act before it can break out into open space, and begin its mission.

Story
As a child Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating - and waiting for suitable prey.

Story
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it....

Can’t wait for Episode 2
I can’t wait to find out what happens to these two twins. The quiet, peaceful, boring life two twins is turned upside down when their colony is attacked by deformed creatures with great strength. Rescued by an elite fighting group called the Black Widows, their adventure has just begun. Much like a pilot episode of a TV show, this book draws you in immediately. From the first moments of the book, you come to love the primary characters. The narration was excellent. Excellent job with the voices. Crisp, clean, and great accents. Overall: Wow!

Love the plot, but not taken in.
Would you try another book from Michael G. Thomas and/or Nancy Peterson?
Yes, for sure.
What did you like best about this story?
The plot and theme
What does Nancy Peterson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
attitude, and a depth to the characters and plot that isn't always there.
Could you see Black Widows, Episode 1 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Not ep1 alone, but I could see a Tv series. Lucy Lu.
Any additional comments?
I have mixed feelings about this story, the plot is interesting, but the action is slow and at times hard to follow.
The two sisters are interesting, but the they can be more then a bit “slow and wet behind the ears.”. the Plot is slow to pick up but it is interesting over all.

High Octane SciFi
I enjoyed this story a lot. The opening paragraphs were so calm, so peaceful and then wham, the story took off, grabbed ahold of my attention and never let off the excitement until the end. The story was short. The characters were electrifying. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Nancy Peterson's narration was great, and she kept my attention with her performance. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

short and sweet
Though a short story in most regards Black Widows is an action packed book that feels like a full size book broken up into bite sized pieces and like the saying you can't eat just one this book makes you want to hear more and learn more. while there is some basic background information that seems to be missing from the storyline none of it takes away from the story. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
I received the book free in return for a unbiased review and consideration. Thank you..

A Good, Female Merc/SciFi Story
“Black Widows,” episode 1 is the first of a six-episode season. Author, Michael G. Thomas considers his short stories like episodes in a TV season. “Black Widows,” is a SciFi series about female mercenaries operating during a galactic scale war. Episode one is a short story length episode. It is well written and narrated with plenty of action and suspense. All in all, there really wasn’t anything wrong with the story, but for some reason, it just didn’t grab me the way it should have. “Black Widows” was certainly right in my wheel house as far as the type of stories I like. So I’m not really sure why I didn’t love it more. I do intend to get episode two in order to see if things change. After that, if I’m still only luke warm about the series, I’ll let it go.

Space military with strong female leads
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com.
I enjoyed the story. I like the female leads. Zhang Wei takes on hordes of monsters, unwilling to give up when she's wounded or knocked on the ground. Her friends are just as motivated and fight to rescue them. Even the teen girls help fight and won't break down crying.
The narrator was ok. She gives emotion to her characters, but some of them sound similar.
It's unfortunate only the first two episodes are on audible and the last 4 are not.

Do you think they are females?
Out in space, on a rock of a research facility and out of nowhere they are attacked. Nice opening to what looks like is going to be a nice series. Strong, dominant characters and a goal of finding ones sister.

Lot's of Gory Action
This was a decent short story about a female group of mercenaries after a group of alien slavers attack. I really enjoyed this short story and listened to it straight through. It has lots of action, but the mercenary team often had to use their wits to solve a problem. I thought Nancy Peterson was a good narrator. She has good pacing and good range for her voices, even the male characters. I would recommend this to my friends. I received a copy of this audiobook for free in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A good start to a new action Sci-Fi adventure
This short story is a good start to a new action Sci-Fi adventure. It was very easy to listen to this book in one sitting due to its short length. The action starts early on in the book and continues to the end, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I found the characters enjoyable and relatable, and I am especially excited to see what the author has planned for the sisters in the future. The narrator does a great job with the story. I was impressed with how well she voiced the accents and male voices, and I’d like to listen to more of her work. Overall, this book is a fun, quick sci-fi adventure and I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.
