The Morcai Battalion: The Rescue

Written by Diana Palmer

Narrated by Todd McLaren

New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer returns with the next edge-of-your-seat installment of The Morcai Battalion series.

Rhemun, commander of the Cehn-Tahr Holconcom, has worked tirelessly to get where he is—and he's not going to let any human drag him back down. Especially not Lt. Commander Edris Mallory, whose very presence aboard the Morcai serves as a too-painful reminder of a past tragedy he can neither forgive nor forget.

But Mallory has secrets of her own—ones she can't afford to see come to light. Frantic to protect herself, she flees, abandoning her position. When Rhemun learns of her devastating situation, he realizes the all-consuming feelings he's harbored for her may not be hatred. But in a vast universe rife with peril, is it already too late?

Reviews for The Morcai Battalion

[kevin678-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Very simplistick storyline, had the style of a book written in the 1930s. Enjoyable read.

Light years from Palmer's fluffy romances, this is a space opera complete with Amazonian medics, alien lifeforms, clones, politics, intrigue, interstellar battles, torture, comrades in arms, and forbidden love. All in all, a pleasant surprise.

I gave up after reading about 20% of this book. I just could not process all the terms and names author keeps throwing at us. We have names of different races, planets, equipment... and most of the things are not explained what are they. I don't like sci-fi novels like that. Because it is happening on another planet, it does not mean that you have to invent new name for everything. Tolkien even did not go that far.

Picked this one up at random from the library. Forget Ursula le Guin and Doris Lessing: this book is old-fashioned space opera with laser beams and naval camaraderie. I wasn't far in before I realized that it reminded me of the one book I have read from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan sequence. It even incorporates the same scenario: Terran woman at the mercy of alien bad-ass general finds him not as bad as the propaganda painted him. If I had ever heard of the author I might have been expecting the romance element, which I didn't find a problem. MB 20-iii-2012

In my humble opinion, her best work! The book was so exciting, I couldn't stop reading until I read it all! Three friends who stick together through everything, and a shipful of people who hate them but learn to respect them. I am one of the few who read her original version of this book, and I didn't think she could improve on it. I was wrong! Expanded and even better. Who says Diana Palmer just writes romances?? This book proves she can also write science fiction, and well. There are more to come in this series, and I am eagerly awaiting Morcai Battalion: The Recruit, which will come out under Susan S Kyle. There will be at least one more in the series, and likely more than that.
