About this listen
Fighting for love, honor, and freedom on the galaxy's lawless outer rim...
When Earth space marine Harper Adams finds herself abducted by alien slavers off a space station, her life turns into a battle for survival. Dumped into an arena on a desert planet on the outer rim, she finds herself face to face with a big, tattooed alien gladiator...the champion of the Kor Magna Arena.
A former prince abandoned to the arena as a teen, Raiden Tiago has long ago earned his freedom. Now he rules the arena, but he doesn't fight for the glory, but instead for his own dark purpose - revenge against the Thraxian aliens who destroyed his planet. Then his existence is rocked by one small, fierce female fighter from an unknown planet called Earth.
Harper is determined to find a way home, but when she spots her best friend in the arena - a slave of the evil Thraxian aliens - she'll do anything to save her friend...even join forces with the tough alpha male who sets her body on fire. But as Harper and Raiden step foot onto the blood-soaked sands of the arena, Harper worries that Raiden has his own dangerous agenda...

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

BOOK REVIEW....
I'm a big fan of Ms. Hackett's books and this book is just another in her line of great stories. I loved it. Great characters, action, adventure and romance all rolled up into a wonderful new series. I highly recommend this and all of Ms. Hackett's books.
NARRATOR REVIEW......
The narrator did a god job with the characters. Some of the voices could've used tweaked just a little though.

Decent Sci-if romance!
This is the first book in a new series by author Anna Hackett and it was a good listen. Basically, the story is about a group of women from Earth who worked on a space station near Jupiter when a bunch of bad aliens came through a temporary wormhole and abducted them. When they come to, they find out they are on a desert planet where they will be expected to perform as gladiators for sport. The heroine is a military woman who does have some training in combat and she does really well in the first contest and attracts the attention of the fiercest gladiator in the arena. The narration was good, but I feel it would have been better performed by a male narrator as well.

FIRST BUT NOT LAST
If you could sum up Gladiator in three words, what would they be?
I want one.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Raiden. He was so masculine, tough and dangerous but had a very soft spot for her.
Which scene was your favorite?
After being tricked into trying to save her friend, the Gaden crew showed up just in time to save her.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and did.
Any additional comments?
This was my first Anna Hacket book but not my last. As soon as I finished this one, I started Warrior. I intend to go through all of her audible books within the next week. We'll see. Also, the narrator was excellent!

WOW! What a ride!
This is the second series by Anna Hackett that I've started and I love them both. Gladiator has a totally different feel than her Hell Squad series that I can chalk up to the talent of the author and the talented narrators she had reading each series. Gladiator, the first in the Galactic Gladiators series is a syfy adventure romance involving an alien abduction, tough humans and alien hero's to the rescue. As with all of Ms. Hackett's series, the story is action packed with plenty of steamy scenes in between. Vivenne Leheny does an excellent job of bringing the characters with a great talent for voices.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone.
