A
product of an illegal pairing, Eridani is the only woman without a lifemate
aboard the colonization ship, the Heritage, and she is determined her less than
perfect DNA will not get in the way of finding love. As the ship nears it's
final destination of Haven 6 after five hundred years of travel, images of the
surface show evidence of intelligent life on a planet that's supposed to be
uninhabited. Commander Grier assigns Eri to the exploratory team to spy on the
alien society and return with information on how to defeat them.
When
Eri's team lands, tribes of humans attack and Eri is saved by Striver, the
descendant of a colonist and a pirate from Old Earth's colonization efforts in
other parts of the galaxy. Striver helps Eri rescue her team and they are drawn
to each other despite their different allegiances. While Striver battles with
trusting Eri, Eri must decide whether to warn him and his people about the
commander's intentions, or follow orders and complete her mission.
Review: Faith in humanity comes from the
strength of love in Aubrie Dionne’s Haven
6, a thrilling conclusion to the epic New Dawn series.
Linguist Eridani Smith lived her
life on the Heritage as a second
class citizen because of an illegal pairing. Yet her skills come into play when
scouting vessels report that the planet Haven 6 might not be as uninhabited as
the colonists hoped. With a small exploratory team, Eri has to travel to Haven
6, befriend the aliens, and report to the commander about how to exterminate
them, but nothing is as easy as it seems. The so-called aliens are humans from
Old Earth too, and she has to decide whether to follow orders or her heart.
Haven
6 quickly had me sitting on the edge of my seat and holding my breath while
I read. To think of traveling hundreds of years to find out your planet is
already taken must be devastating. The characters are well-rounded and feisty
with their individual quirks. The plot weaves through several characters and brilliantly
touches on the other books in the New Dawn series. Dionne has created a
fantastical world set amongst the stars. The stakes are high and packed with
emotion, and the writing style is beautiful and firmly set within the
characters’ minds. At the end, Dionne ties up the threads from her entire
series to reaffirm the theme of hope, unity, and love.
Haven
6 by Aubrie Dionne is the perfect end to a fantastic science fiction
romance series, although I miss the characters and worlds already.
