The peaceful respite for which Zeus and his intended, Dargon and Alpha, had been hoping for is shattered when Zeus is unexpectedly drawn to the Waters of Poseidon and told that the safety they've been promised is a trap.

By Ardent Ereader An immensely enjoyable read by Lexi Ander, Striker is a book that will stick with you and it is going on my re-read list. I recently finished Alpha Trine and I am definitely glad I read both books close together so I could keep all her characters straight. Lexi has a way of building her world and characters so that they draw you in. There is a lot happening yet Lexi managed to keep me engrossed waiting to see what would happen next. Many other reviewers have summarized the story so I won’t do that here. Suffice to say if you are a fan of science fiction/fantasy and enjoy MM romance then I definitely recommend Striker. Just clear your calendar so you can live in Valespia, and be sure to read Alpha Trine first.

Great Sci-Fi read By K I received Striker from the author through the Goodreads M/M Romance Group's `Don't Buy My Love' review program for an honest review. The story is told in third person through the eyes of Prince Zeus Pylos Vondorian, Alpha-Zetamite, and Dargon. Briefly, the story is told through Empress Ashari Vondorian eyes, the mother of Zeus.Striker is the second book in The Valespian Pact series. This book is not a stand-a-lone read. You really need to read the first book in order to understand what's happening in Striker because this story takes off soon after the ending of Alpha Trine. This book is a mix of mythology and ideas from sci-fi shows like Babylon 5 and Star Trek.I'm not going to go into the details of who all the people are in the story, the races, the planets or the plotline. Partly because most of that is all covered in the first book, and partly because with science fiction, there are so many created worlds, species and convoluted happenings I'd end up writing a book instead of a review. Suffice it to say, other reviews have given a good briefing of the story. The main people you need to know are Zeus, Dargon and Alpha, for they comprise the Alpha Trine a highly rare and highly respected poly relationship between a symbiote, his host and their partner.As I mentioned, this story picks up right after the first book, only a few years down the line with Zeus working as the chief mechanic on a space station. He is nearing the end of his stint before returning to his planet when he gets caught in the middle of huge galactic events. Suffice it to say, he's kidnapped, his royal brothers give chase across the galaxy, the ship he's on has a secret that pursuers will stop at nothing to acquire. There's a fight on board, then another huge battle on the planet where they are to drop off their `cargo'. It's non-stop action after action. There really weren't any boring parts that I recall. In the midst of all that, the author continued with the Trine relationship although the story was mostly focused on revealing the mysteries established in the first story, and the battle. I was quite pleased this second book was as good as the first.What I'd like to mention is that the main theme of Striker is family. It tells us that no matter whom our birth parents were or what we look like, it doesn't matter as long as we have a loving family who supports us, loves us and guides us. The author showed us two different views on how this works. Zeus as we already know from book one, was found as a baby by the Mar `Sani and adopted into the Royal family. Despite that there are those who are filled with contempt for him because they saw Zeus as human, but his family saw him only as Mar `Sani. Zeus always saw himself as Mar `Sani and never felt the need to find out where he came from. When he finds his sister and she wishes him to be part of their family again, he doesn't want to be. Then there is Canry, the Royal family's lost son who answered `The Calling,' only to return later when he was desperately needed. He wondered if his parents still loved him. Canry has nothing to fear because they never stopped loving him.This brings up the question of Zeus. If his parents have survived, how will he feel toward them if he finds he was forcibly taken from them, instead of left behind? So the readers get two views that are similar to adoption. Some children wish to find their birth parents and others are so happy, they never have the desire.I have two issues with this book. I really hope they get someone in who is better at editing and proofreading than the people who are doing it now. There are quite a few missing words, but the one thing that annoys me the most, is the change of names. At the beginning of the book, there is one character named `Star Eater.' His name is changed to `Sun Eater' in the latter part of the story no less than four times. It bugged me so much I highlighted the name and I have never highlighted items in stories before. So that is my strong advice. Get better or more editors, betas or what not, because if a reader can find many mistakes on one pass through, that's not good.The other issue is with a scene that happened after the battle on the planet and Zeus and Warlord Sohm'lan are resting in a tent protected by the elite Mar `Sani Monticore guards. The Monticore are the most skilled and terrifying guards of the galaxy, yet a spy from the traitorous side is able to make his way to the outside of their tent and have a very brief talk with them inside. The Warlord has disguised his voice during the chat. Anyway, how can this person get this close to Prince Zeus and a Warlord when the area is swarming with Monticore? Is he some kind of ninja spy? He said he'd tell his `Master' about their conversation, so it strikes me as this person is not all that skilled, more like a slave. This scene completely took me out of the story as I'm trying to analyze how on earth this was possible considering the author presented how ferocious the Monticore were and how closely they guarded the Princes. This strange scene really didn't add anything to the story, even when we find out more about it later.I enjoyed this story immensely and can't wait for the next book. However, because of the spag issues and the strange scene, I'll have to take away a star. In the end I give this 4 Stars but highly recommend this book.

Very Enjoyable 4-Star Read By Michelle I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.Striker is book two in the Valespian Pact series and picks up immediately after the events in Alpha Trine. To realy get the most out of the story, I would recommend reading the series in order. I think I would've been lost had I not read book one.If book one introduced us to the main characters and the universe, book two really kicks it up a notch. We get more of Zeus' backstory and some unexpected character reveals. But it is the present that grabbed my attention. We learn what it really means to be an alpha trine. I felt like Alpha became more than Dargon's symbiote, he emerged as his own strong character experiencing pain and loss, love and joy. And I really enjoyed growly, protective Zeus. Given his condition, Dargon was sorta sidelined in this book and I would've liked more of him. Underneath all the action, I think this is a story about connections, about what it really means to be family, lovers, comrades, even enemies.There is also a lot more of the evil bugs coming-to-conquer-and-enslave-the-world plot, complete with villains, co-conspirators and treachery. Yay! This story is packed with political intrigue, military maneuvering and plenty of space battles... Epic battles, well-fought and hard won. I thought the story was genuinely suspenseful, even though you know how it has to turn out. This is a very fast-paced book, sometimes too quick for me. I did get a little overloaded at times.What kept this from being a five-star story was the abrupt wrap-up of some of the smaller plot lines. I was disappointed to just get a paragraph stating so-and-so was caught. I mean, c'mon... Overall though, for sci-fi/space opera fans, I think this would be a very satisfying read.
