Summary

As the battle against the invading aliens reaches its endgame, a group of bad-boy bikers and mercenaries will stand and fight for humanity’s survival....

Tane Rahia is good at one thing - fighting. Before the alien invasion, he fought as a mercenary in the worst jungle hellholes. Now, he’s the leader of Squad Three - a.k.a. the berserkers - and he’s fighting to protect his brothers, his friends, and the last of humanity’s survivors. It doesn’t matter if he dies, he knows he belongs in the shadows, doing the dirty work and taking dangerous risks so others don’t have to. There is no warm woman, no love, and no redemption for him, and especially no small, sweet alien woman who he struggles to ignore.

Abducted from her homeworld by the Gizzida, Selena endured captivity and torture. Then she found herself on a distant planet called Earth and rescued by tough, heroic humans. She’s recovered, made a new family for herself, and come into a power that she never knew she possessed. She’s determined to experience everything life on vibrant Earth has to offer and to protect her new home. And she discovers that one battle-hardened, intense man is the only one who ignites a passionate desire that leaves her breathless.

The humans have fought hard, but now the Gizzida have created three deadly, humanity-ending bombs. Tane’s not happy that Selena’s help is vital in the fight against the aliens, and nor is he ready to face her stubborn confidence nor the white-hot desire flaring between them. But as they enter their final make or break fight, Tane and Selena know they need to fight as one. They may not survive the final battle, but they have to try: for their friends, for the planet, for humanity.

The Book

Wow!...Just Wow! You have got to read this book...

If you've been reading Anna Hackett's fantastic, all-action, science fiction romance series Hell Squad from the beginning, then you will probably feel about the same as I do right now... sitting here having just finished reading Tane, the twentieth and final book in the series, emotionally wrung out with tears streaming down my face and wearing a goofy smile. If you haven't been following the series, then you've missed out on a lot of really excellent stories, however there's enough history and background in the book that it can read as a stand alone, but you'll be cheating yourself if you don't read the others.

What can I say? I've been addicted to this series for years and have waited for this story, always wondering when it would appear, since the exceptional alien, Selena, first appeared as a character in 'Shaw', (or was it 'Holmes'?) so very many books ago and when it finally came... it broke my heart, hence the tears, and the No, No, No! chanting.... and then put it back together in the most wonderful and amazing way. The reason for the goofy smile.... of course!

I'm really not sure what to write without giving spoilers and I'm not going to do that so maybe a quick recap for the uninitiated would be in order? Set sometime in the future when the majority of the former Commonwealth and free countries have formed themselves into the United Coalition, the Earth was decimated without warning by the invading Gizzida, a brutal, reptilian species who destroyed all the major cities and the vast majority of the planet's population in the first wave of the attack two years ago, and then carried on the destruction and killing from there. The few thousand survivors, that we know about, huddle together in small(ish) groups, fighting for survival, hiding mostly in underground former military bases around the planet and continually battling with the enemy, hoping against hope that they can find a way to drive the aliens away and reclaim the planet. And it certainly comes down to the wire but.... Hang onto your hats and let the final battle begin...

The final solution awaits between the covers of Tane and I can't recommend it highly enough. I've given this book what seems like a paltry 5 stars when compared to the magnitude of excellence in it's pages, and added it to my list of books to rescue if the house was burning down. I binge read this series, as far as it went, last year, not for the first time, and will probably be doing that again before Christmas, although at the moment, I'm steadily working my way through all the available audio versions and loving them just as much. From beginning to end, I absolutely loved it and I'm so sorry to see it come to an end, spectacular though it is....

The Audio

I'm totally addicted to this series and I got this as an ebook when it was first published a year or so ago. I'll freely admit that I've read it more than once since then, but I've been having intermittent problems with my eyes for a couple of years now, so I've turned to audio books to fulfill my need to re-read my favourites. I did try audio books a few years ago, but the narration was so bad, even dreadful, that I gave up on them for quite a while, however, Anna Hackett seems to get significantly better narrators than some I've listened to and I'm overjoyed to say that the two who narrate this series, Jeffrey Kafer and Samantha Cook are incredibly good, probably the best I've come across and are truly the exception rather than the rule. They managed to maintain the gritty fight for survival action adventure nature of the book and I highly recommend it to any lover of all-action, alien invasion sci-fi wrapped in a little romance with a few steamy bits for added spice. Having listened to 'Marcus', the first book in the series and been really impressed, I got all the other books in the series that are available as audio versions to back up my kindle eBooks, just so I don't get withdrawal symptoms when I can't read them. This is my review of the twentieth and, sadly, last book in the series. The audio versions also have the added bonus of allowing me to do other things whilst listening, although I do tend to get sucked into the story and end up just listening instead of actually doing anything else at the same time. I find I listen a lot more than I read these days, was lucky enough to get a free Audible code for it and have already listened to Tane several times since getting it. As I'd already posted an honest review of the ebook when it came out in May 2020, I decided to update that review with my personal opinion of the audible narration, especially as I have been so disenchanted by audio books in the past.
