Raider

The planet Ziem is under the control of the Coalition - invaders who take what the want whilst crushing all those who fight back.
Drake Davorin, a tavern keeper is thought a coward by all around him for keeping a low profile, even his own family .......
Since the murder of his father , during the invasion , and the suicide of his mother he is now responsible for his younger siblings , who he will protect at all costs .

But all is not as it seems - his Tavern is frequented by the Coalition soldiers and hierarchy and information and gossip abounds . Said information invariably finds its way into the hands of 'Raider' -the mysterious, heavily disguised leader of the Sentinels and the Resistance who is leading the fight to save his world .
Kye Kalon , a Sentinal , is torn - she has always love Drake , but now she is beginning to develop feelings for Raider .... who is he ?
Information from the Tavern that the Coalition is set to use robots to mine the ore that until now only specialist miners have been able to access , makes the Resistance realise that now there is no longer any reason for the Coalition to keep anyone alive !
Raider and the Sentinals must gather all their resources and strike first - defeat is not an option if their planet is to survive .

An excellent book - one I enjoyed so much I bought the 3 previous books in the series .

I very unexpectedly stumbled upon my first book by Ms. Davis and the coalition. I devoured the other books I could find at the time even buying a couple of books from a re-seller. I am thrilled to see her picking up the threads of this world in this exciting David and Goliath story and definitely look forward to more about how a rag tag bunch of rebels who love their homes and way of life fight back against the Coalition.

Drake is an inspiration as is the fiery intelligence and courage of his siblings and his rebel force. I hope we'll get to see more of this world and these brave multi-dimensional characters that we've had the chance to meet here. I am intrigued to hear more about what the Coalition officer will do next. My gut says that with his smarts he's someday going to defect to the coalition and I can't wait to meet the woman who'll bring him fully into the light.

One of the first books I ever read as a young girl exploring the romance read was Justine Davies Lord of the storm. The first book in the Coalition Rebellion series I fell in love with Wolf and Shayla and couldn't put the book down, I stumbled across the book in a second hand store, unfortunately when I came to search for the next book in the series it was out of print and ebooks were not as readily available this was over 15 years ago. Luckily in 2014 the books began to be republished, Fast forward to today and a brand new coalition novel has been released, The Raider is the 4th book in the series and although set in the coalition world is not about Trios and their battle with the evil overloads. The Raider is about the next stage, Trios may be free but planets like Ziem and its neighbours are not.

Resistance to the coalition and their plans is a guaranteed death sentence. They control the food the money the weapons everything but the Raider leads the rebellion on Zeim, his identity secret he is recognisable only by his voice and helmet. For if the coalition knew where or who he really was his life would already be over. With hot blooded heros a plot with more twists and turns than a mountain road in the alps and drama galore this book was just as enjoyable as the first book 5 stars.

What a story it keeps you wanting more right to the last page. Drake Davorin has raised his siblings since his Father was killed by the Coalition and his Mother disappeared over a cliff .Kye Kalon loves both Drake and the mysterious man called the Raider. Who is the Raider? What does he hide? Who will win her heart? I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Great Story. This is a love story. A soldier's story. A story about change. It was riveting and I am truly looking forward to the next book. The main characters are enough to keep your attention but the support characters make you want to read more. Drake lives a dual life, by day he is a lowly tavern keeper. Hated by his fellow townsmen and family as a coward bending to the will of the occupying forces. At night, he is the leader of the rebellion, the savior of the town, the idol to his siblings and the thorn for the occupation. How long can he lead this dual life, how long can he have those he love hate him. I have not read the previous books in this series, but I will definitely read those now....

A well written Science Fiction / Fantasy mix.
This was a book I just could not put down once I had started it.
The characters were fascinating and although I had not read any of the other books it made no difference.
A great read.
