O'Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy among the stars.

Living a life a service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena.

He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic.

Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world's people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead, and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a good sci fi story that has a strong romance element. Thankfully, it is well balanced by sci fi and some action. The story, itself, is good. The narration, however, is dry and a bit boring. She injects very little emotion into her narration and doesn't really differintiate between character voices. She is just reading the book into a mic.

dry narration but a good story

Solid story and characters. Very much a sci-fi romance, but with plenty of plot and action.

Narration was solid, with great character differentiation and emotion to breathe life into each chapter.

The Warrior's Stone is an interesting blend between science fiction, fantasy and romance. As with most books in the science fiction genre, the first part of the story involves much world-building and details. I struggled to maintain my interest during this portion of the book, but I was very happy that I did as the story progressed. All of that detail became integral to following this epic journey of both a man and a woman to healing and love and a galaxy-wide army to victory. With a nice mix of action scenes, character development scenes and romantic scenes between Roy O'Hara and Katreena, this story flowed so smoothly that I felt like I was watching it play out on film. The love between Roy and Katreena develops mostly through shared dreams, feelings and thoughts, which left me with the certainty that their love would overcome the differences in their worlds, their upbringing and their experiences.

Although she doesn't try to differentiate between characters and she doesn't use much emotion, Lily Sage has a pleasant voice, and her narration was flawless. She sounds like she is reading the story more than performing it, but I thought this understated delivery added to the science fiction/fantasy flavor of the book.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

I think this could have been a great book with dual narrators. I had the hardest time staying focused on the story the narrators voice had my mind wondering off the book. If there is a different narrator I will buy the second book

Good book bad narrator

This is a great story that really grabs you from the beginning. The author does a masterful job of creating intriguing characters. The plot is solid and kept me wanting to know what's going to happen next. The story is a good blend of action, romance, and general intrigue. Can't wait to check out the other books in the series!

The narration was fantastic at bringing the author's characters to life. There's distinction between all major characters and she really painted a vivid picture of each scene. She has a distinct voice that is easy to listen to for hours. I will have to check out her other work.

Intense Story and Enticing Narration!
