About this listen

Celina Dontal just escaped 18 months of captivity at the hands of Alexander Boyarov and his crew, members of the brutal Red Houzi Clan. That should have been the hard part. It was only the beginning.

When she tried to contact her younger sister, Jenny, Celina received shocking news. The one person in the universe that Celina loved and lived for was missing, and no one could tell her what happened. A vague mention of passage booked to the metropolis of Puskar Stellar on Mars was the only clue Celina unearthed, but Jenny hasn't responded to any of Celina's messages.

Celina has no friends on Mars and to make things worse, Boyarov is skating on thin ice with the Red Houzi. He lost their ship and prisoner. Retrieving both as quickly as possible is the only hope he has of preserving his own life. He's on the hunt.

If there is to be any help for Celina and Jenny, it will have to come from strangers. Puskar Stellar is a big city and finding someone who is trustworthy can be a slippery quest.

Fool Me Once, a standalone novella, is the second story in Jamie McFarlane's Privateer Tales.

A Intresting tale of of Celina struggling to survive and rebuild her family after Liam set her free from a life of slavery.

I felt the narrator spoke a bit fast in a couple of places but it was clear and understandable all through the book.

What would you do If set free from slavery.

Liked the diversion from the main theme, which recounted what happened to a prisoner, Celine, who was liberated from the pirates by Liam an Nick, but this was far too short.

Loved the narration, which was easy to listen to.

Good, but too short
