Fatal Extraction (The Chikara Revolution Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Evangeline Rain (Author), Christopher Barnes (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 24 ratings

She’s a space pirate with a heart of gold. He’s a bookworm with crippling anxiety.

Can they pull off a suicide mission? Or will his dark secret destroy them both?

For ten years Nirvana has led a crew of marauders aboard the ship she inherited from her father. They trust her and revel in their life of thievery and adventure among the stars. But she has an unquenchable thirst for revenge, and it’s earned her some very powerful enemies. So when an ambush lands Nirvana and her crew in the hands of one of Panderon’s most dangerous men, it’s only her bad-ass reputation and quick thinking that convinces him to bargain with her. He’ll release her men, but only if she’ll do a job for him, one so impossible that failure is almost certain.

But Nirvana is as wily as Robin Hood and just as determined. To pull off the most dangerous job of her life, she needs a strong, capable soldier at her side. What she gets is Zane, a shy, awkward genius who suffers from depression and anxiety. Suddenly things have gone from bad to worse, and it looks like her new partner will get her killed the first time they face trouble. But there’s more to Zane than meets the eye. He may better with books than guns, but never judge a bookworm by his cover.

Can this space-faring rogue and her bookish boyfriend pull off the most dangerous job in planetary history? Or will their fragile new partnership snap under pressure?

Get hooked on this new series from Evangeline Rain. Romance, action, steam, a strong heroine, and a unique hero who doesn’t let PTSD stop him.

    Fatal Extraction is the wondrous tale of strong intergalactic pirate Nirvana, who much reminds me of Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft Tomb Raider portrayal. She is manipulated by the much younger Zane, genius son of a cruel despotic leader, into helping him with his plans to destroy his father and free his people from tyranny. Nirvana struggles with trust issues while Zane himself is battling with severe panic attacks and depression. While helping each other and making plans to take down Zane's father, the two fall in love. As debut novel for this author, I can only say that this book is amazing. The world building is so real that you can actually envision that you are there experiencing the action along with our h. The characters are well developed, and the relationship between the h and H is well done with the age difference. I look forward to more in the series, and more from this author.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining adventure
    Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021

    Competent main characters are something I absolutely love in books. Yes, the MCs who need to learn and grow into their abilities are thrilling to read, but stumbling across an MC who already knows what they’re doing, who just grows further into themselves throughout the book? That’s definitely worth a read. And Evangeline Rain’s Fatal Extraction definitely has a competent main character.

    1. Thoughts on the plot
    This book follows Nirvana, a space pirate who is hired/blackmailed into staging a reconnaissance mission on a hostile and dictator-ruled planet in order to prevent an interplanetary war. She gets assistance from Zane, a defector. Whether the bookish genius will be of help to her is an entirely different question, though.
    The plot of this book is more politic and intricate than I had anticipated. I thought there would be a fair amount of gunslinging, with Nirvana pulling Zane out of danger at various points, sort of like an action movie. Instead, I got something that was thoughtful, with characters who actually considered their moves before making them, and far more oriented towards the planning and relationship-building. I was fairly impressed that this book managed to defy my expectations almost completely and still maintain good plot structure. Very interesting.

    2. Thoughts on the characters
    As I said before, Nirvana is an extremely competent main character. When we meet her, she is already a captain of the most successful pirate gang this side of the Andromeda galaxy. She can fight, but more importantly, she can think. As far as characters go, I really appreciated the fact that Nirvana knew herself well enough to be able to handle just about any task. The part that was really interesting was that she faltered when meeting with Zane. She didn’t quite know how to handle him, and that led to much of the conflict and interest throughout the book. I like her quite a bit. And I especially like her relationship with Zane.
    As for Zane himself, he is a very likeable character. His background gives him a sad-eyed quality that garners immediate sympathy. And the reactions he has to situations and people provokes amusement or frustration. Put all those reactions together and I think that he is probably one of my favourites.

    3. Favourite part
    There wasn’t really one part of this book that struck me as a favourite, standing above the rest. I enjoyed it all fairly equally.

    4. Critique
    I think the ending was a bit rushed. There was quite a bit of detail in the build up, but once the ending happened, the aftermath leading into the next book took a matter of a few pages. Decisions were made that felt like they could have made sense, but there was little thought that went into them. And events happened so quickly that they were a little hard to follow. I liked the ending, and I think it made general sense given what came before, but it was definitely a little rushed.

    Overall, I think Fatal Extractions was a book that managed to defy expectations and still please. I liked the characters and the plot was interesting enough for me to be curious about book two. A solidly good book.

    An excellent start to a new series! It has a kick-butt heroine who's a sci-fi version of Robin Hood, and a nerdy but sexy genius as a love interest. Who couldn't love a guy that vows to be her "on-call Shiatsu slave"? The thing that I truly appreciated about this book was that it touched on mental illness, not only the person battling it but how it affects the person that loves them. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

    Wow. Zero to hero time. Zane certainly doesn't look like anyone that's going anywhere. Mix in some Nirvana (not the band!) and all the sudden, he's got potential!
    This is a great book, fast moving and fun.

    This is the first science fiction book I ever read. The author has an amazing imagination. The storytelling is extremely detailed and there is an awful lot to take in. I was slightly overwhelmed, but I'm sure it's only because I'm not used to this genre. All the characters are lovable and have enough depth so the reader will care about them. Nirwana is totally kick-ass. My favorite character, however, was Zane. I could truly identify with him. I, too, love technology and hate exercising. I was a little disappointed at the sudden ending. However, I know there will be more stories to come and I'm looking forward to reading them. I'm crossing my finger for stories of Zane's brothers.

    I received Fatal Extraction as a free copy visathe Author/publisher. That being said I really enjoyed the book. The story follows Nirvana, a space pirate and her crew. Nirvana has been captured and is being forced to help thwart a tyrannical ruler of Chikara. Her mission is to get his plans of war, with the help of an inside man.A man from Chikira who has secrets as well. A man who was not at all what she expected, Zane is the opposite of warrior or soldier. I cannot wait to see where this story goes. the characters pull you in and leave you wanting more.
