The Morcai Battalion: The Recruit

Written by Diana Palmer

Narrated by Todd McLaren

Three years after the unprovoked attack on a peaceful colony, the war between the Rojok dynasty and the Tri-Galaxy Fleet rages on. Born of that war is the Morcai Battalion, a fleet comprised of Centaurians and humans—the first collaboration of its kind and a step toward an intergalactic alliance. But the fragile union is tested as their courageous commander in chief, Dtimun, is faced with the temptation of the forbidden—and human—Dr. Madeline Ruszel.

A combat surgeon, Ruszel is aware of the danger of inciting a Centaurian's interest, even if he is the most intriguing of men. Besides putting their mission at risk, personal relations between their kinds are still outlawed. But a prophecy that touches on both their lives and the future of all alien nations hints that a greater unity may be theirs for the taking…if they, and their crew, survive in the battle for peace.

Reviews for The Morcai Battalion

[sunnysd_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Doctor Madeline Ruszel continues to plague her Commander Dtimun - in more ways than one. As the pair struggle with their forbidden desires, political intrigue and galactic war rage.I really, really, really wanted to shake the main characters - or possibly the author. Someone needed to go through this book and edit out about half of the emotive descriptions so that the heroine was not bouncing excitedly only a sentence before she's glancing aside miserably, only to be cheery faced and bubbly seconds later. Ditto with the hero. Of equal annoyance, the number of times the main characters inform someone or someone else informs them that their romance is forbidden, doomed, and hopeless, only to have the same character hinting that all will be well in the next breath. Not to mention how naive, uneducated and slow to draw conclusions Madeline seems for someone who we're told is a medical professional, an special forces expert, and a sniper since she was eight. If this story was a person it would have great bones, but horrible taste in clothing, a bad haircut, and a poor retention span.
