It would probably also help to have heard at least a few more in the original series, and then at least one or two in the subsequent series Dark Star Mercenaries. This is because there’s a lot of name dropping and 2-3 sentence recaps, but this novella doesn’t do enough to explain everything that’s come before. As someone who heard all of the first series, and stuck it out thru the first two of the next, I was still lost.
However, even being invested in Tarak and Abby, and enjoying the return of the original narrators (especially McLaren’s deep growly Kordolian voice),this was a mediocre listen. There’s little action and no complete story. Instead, this sets up new futures for the lead couple, teases possible H/hs for future books, and throws in one sex scene and some cute kid/pet stuff.
With the lackluster story, I spent most of my time being annoyed at the ultra-condescension of Tarak, the “super soldier” and “most powerful being in the nine galaxies” who solves Earth’s problems by bullying his way into the leader’s office, mob-style, and announcing his folks are going to be calling the shots.
Isn’t that exactly the ill advised behavior got his species to be hated/feared in those nine galaxies? I’m now remembering why I really only liked books 1 and 4 of the original series. Everything since is hyperbolic mumbo jumbo about greatest warriors ever and psychic links with damsel girls (the novella reminding us that Earth couldn’t handle even a single Silent One 🙄).
