Book 4 of 4: The Sentinel Trilogy

See all formats and editions

Sorvashti is a captive. Jet is a soldier. Both harness the primal power of aether.

The war is over, but the Revoth want their land back. Kidnapping, ransom, and slavery fund their terrorism, but bombing Jet’s hometown was the final straw.

Viper Unit is dispatched to take the Revoth down. But the special forces have no need for a mind-reading ‘fairy’—unless Jet can prove himself as a sniper.

Sorvashti’s clan demands she take one of the seven oaths, but her father’s political status has already chosen for her—and made her a prime target for ransom.

When Jet and Sorvashti meet behind enemy lines, revenge intertwines with survival… and a spark between them neither can ignore.

---

This novella takes place 6 years before the storm of Sentinel.

Fantastic Prequel!

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016

The author has outdone herself! Viper is a fun read you won't want to put down. It is full of action and suspense. The pacing is excellent, the plot is interesting, the descriptions take you there, and the glimpse into the lives of Jet and Sorvashti are great! The different languages and struggles with them add a dimension of reality to the characters as they communicate with one another.

I had read the Sentinel Trilogy previously and enjoyed it very much. This book develops Jet's and Sorvashti's characters and fills in the relationship between them, giving greater understanding for the trilogy. It makes me want to reread the entire set, knowing I will have more understanding.

Nice book--clean of offensive language and situations. Well-edited and perfect cover!

I will be watching for Foley's new books.

Solid Addition to the Series

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2017

Having read Sentinel, which mentions the prior acquaintance of Sorva and Jet, I was eager to read their origin story. This shorter book gives more insight into the cultures of the planet. I liked having a fast read that was a satisfying story arc. I still think that their relationship needs to be explored more, as I didn't feel the events in this story quite brought their bond to the point it was at in Sentinel. So I hope there is more to come, to be revealed through another prequel or maybe in flashback in the next book. I think Arbiter is the next one and I'm looking forward to reading it.

This is how it all started

I know this is the Prequel but I actually read this story after reading 'The Sentinel Trilogy'. And I Loved it. This is the story of how Jet and Sorva met. I'm glad I read them in that order or I think I wouldn't have understood Jet as well. In the trilogy he's stuffy and unemotional, but you get to see the real Jet in this story. It also helped explain a few things that weren't fully explained in the trilogy.
I'd recommend this book, series actually to anyone who loved action, romance and a few very cool supernaturals.

Heard some good things about the rest of the series

3.5 stars.

Heard some good things about the rest of the series, so I was looking forward to checking out this prequel novella when I won it in a giveaway.

I don't know that I properly appreciated it without having met these characters in the series first? I don't know, I'm always a little weird about reading prequel/back stories before reading the main story. It's almost like cheating since I don't know the characters as "they are" yet. It's weird and probably just a me thing.

Anyway - the world was very interesting! I felt a little lost, but that was totally me since I didn't exactly read the info at the beginning that would have helped with some stuff. *cough* :) The "superpower" things are really cool! I liked all the characters and the military team even though we didn't get to spend too much time with them.

I'm definitely intrigued by the world Jamie Foley has built and I'm looking forward to seeing where Jet and Sorvashti end up. :)

I enjoyed everything about this book! It seemed to fly by and I never put it down until I was finished. It helped me to understand more of the entire Sentinel Trilogy, establishing who is who and the relationships between them.

The descriptive writing is clear, easy to follow, and does not bombard the reader with foul language and sex. It is well-edited, the characters are interesting, and the situations drew me in.

I recommend it to anyone over 12.

Fun ride from page one

I was really happy Foley decided to write this prequel from the point of view of my two favorite characters from Sentinal: Jet and Sorvashti. The world building is brilliant and allows the reader to explore each part with wide eyes. The characters leap from the pages and beckon for readers to follow. Well written and unforgettable.
