Imperator: A Scifi Alien Romance (Galactic Gladiators Book 11) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 2,171 ratings

Space station security specialist Sam has done one thing since her abduction by alien slavers…fight to survive. But now one strong alien gladiator stands at her side and Sam knows she is no longer alone.

Thrust into a lawless desert arena, Sam Santos has done terrible things in order to stay alive. As the Champion of Zaabha, she’s been fighting to find a way out. Everything changes when the Imperator of the House of Galen sacrifices his freedom to help her. The hard-bodied, fierce man has vowed to help her escape, but getting out of Zaabha is only the first deadly task they face.

Galen was bred to be a royal bodyguard and protect his prince. With his planet now destroyed, he’s grown powerful and forged his wealthy gladiatorial House on the desert planet of Carthago. All Galen knows is honor, service, and sacrifice. Now his life depends on working with one battle-hardened woman of Earth as they fight together to survive. But Sam Santos is not what he expected. Tough, yes. A brilliant fighter, for sure. But there is a softer side to the woman as well. And Galen finds himself irrevocably drawn to all of Sam’s captivating facets.

Then they uncover a devious plot by the Thraxians that could bring down the foundations of the Kor Magna Arena and all they hold dear. Galen and Sam will stop at nothing to defeat the evil alien slavers, even if it means war. In amongst the fighting, Sam may finally show a man who lives for everyone else, that he deserves more than just honor and freedom, but love as well…if they survive the coming battle.

    Space station security specialist Sam Santos has been fighting to survive since she was abducted by alien slavers. Everything changes when the Imperator of the House of Galen sacrifices his freedom to help her in the arena. Galen has vowed to keep her safe and take down Zaabah but it will take more than just the House of Galen to bring it down.

    After ten books we finally have Galen’s story! Galen has been the cool and controlled Imperator of the House of Galen for years. He never lets anyone close until he meets the fierce champion of Zaabah. Sam was the perfect woman for Galen because she is a strong and deadly warrior but she also has a kind side. She is a partner and asset to the House of Galen. I just really loved Sam and Galen.

    “I’ll be your shield, your protector, your champion. Wherever you need me, I’ll stand beside you, behind you, or kneel at your feet. Whatever you need.”

    Sam was a fascinating woman. She could survive in the area but also loved the finer things in life, like good food. I loved the different sides of her and that she was unpredictable. She was just the perfect woman for Galen because she would keep him on his toes.

    As with all of the books in this series, this one was an action packed adventure with some steamy romance. We finally have the fall of Zaabah and the end of the House of Thrax. I loved that we finally got to see all the houses working together to destroy this evil enterprise. I can’t get enough of this gladiator filled world and I am so glad we are getting a side series featuring the cyborgs.

    If you are looking for action packed romance filled with hunky alien gladiators, check this series out.

    Galen's story has been a long time coming in this series and Anna Hackett did not disappoint with Imperator. We've watched the tall, dark, and mysterious Galen as he's supported his gladiators and made a welcoming home for the captured humans but we've also seem him keep himself separate and stoic. Galen has a rough past and he lays a large amount of guilt on his own shoulders over the destruction of his home planet. From a young age Galen was charged with protecting Prince Raiden and when they resettled on Carthago Galen has maintained his orders to keep watch over Raiden. He's dedicated his life to protecting him and Galen is really like a father figure. There was a beautiful moment toward the end where Galen and Raiden acknowledge how much they've meant to each other and it was beautiful.

    A natural born protector, Galen has no problem taking care of Sam but he also respects her strength and fighting abilities. He's seen her in the Zaabha arena and he knows how tough she is to survive captivity by the Thraxians. Galen supports Sam in every way and he never underestimates her skills; he knows how important stopping the Thraxians is to Sam since it's important to him as well. Galen doesn't want to give into his feelings but he also truly sees Sam and he wants to do anything he can for her.

    Sam is clearly one badass woman to survive everything she's been through and now she's separated from her parents and brothers who she loves deeply. Starting over is hard for Sam but she also sees she has a purposed in House Galen and it's not just training with the gladiators. Sam sees how much Galen gives of himself for others and how little he expects in return. She knows that Galen needs someone to take care of him, someone that can be his alone, and someone that can provide a welcoming solace.

    Sam and Galen are perfect for each other because they each have such inner strength but they need someone to lean on. I couldn't ask for a better ending for Galen and though we haven't known about Sam for as long, she quickly became a favorite for me among the humans. This was a very satisfying conclusion to the long battle with the Thraxians and I loved how we got a quick POV moment with each of the previous couples. Though this chapter of the series is over, Anna Hackett leaves the reader with a little surprise at the end of the book and I'll just say that I can't wait!

    This whole series is about the House of Galen gladiators (and their allies) secretly, stealthily, rescuing people. Amazing tests of strength and skill in the arena (and sometimes outside the arena). Smokin’ hot lovers. Complex action and aliens. Did I mention drool worthy Gladiator Aliens??? The glue that holds it all together is Imperator Galen. He is a hunk of a man, chiseled from pure steel- a former guard to the prince and gladiator, a savvy ruler of his very prosperous house, a secret savior of those abused and thrown into the arena against their will or capacity. The titan that can send terror through the guts of just about anyone with a glare of his one icy blue eye. His recent mission is to save the humans abducted into slavery by a rival house and their race. After reading every single Galactic Gladiator book, I was DYING to see if Galen would land himself a woman. Because under that scary exterior there beats a heart of gold. I was NOT disappointed! Galen is a serious badass and Sam is sort of his mirror image. This story was AMAZING. It was bittersweet coming to the end of this series, but each couple was given their own voice in this story. It was an awesome conclusion and wrap-up of the whole series, as well as an excellent spring-board into the House of Rone series.

    MMC Galen I found his character exceptional, thru’ the series, you get a peek at his personality traits; honourable, hardcore protective, can be OCD’ish, cool humour and quite energetic behind closed doors. MFC Sam hardcore protective, a survivor, can be vulnerable and also energetic behind closed doors. The read is actioned filled like a 007 bond movie with ‘fifty shades of grey’ added for extra spice. I especially liked the part of all the aliens short epilogue with their earth mate. One more read then start with the ‘The House Of Rone’ series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Imperator & Zaabha Champion
    Reviewed in Australia on July 23, 2018

    I was amped when this story was finally released. I enjoyed seeing Galen finally get his HEA after reading his interaction in every book of this series so far. You knew that if he had someone special for him, that she would have to be strong, fierce, a leader and a match for him in every way.
    Sam is Zaabha Champion and former head of security for the now destroyed Fortuna Station. Forced into gladiatorial slavery she rules the arena. The story kept me on the edge of my seat following Sam and Gamen's moves as they try to destroy the slave ring and the Thraxians.
    From the start their connection is strong, it had me loving every moment.
    Especially liked the last two chapters - best I've read ever. Seems like it was an epilogue. I also like the spin-offs into other direction so will keep an eye out for that. Well-written and highly recommended.

    This series has truly had me addicted from the very beginning and the finale to the House of Galen has seen Imperator Galen meeting his match in the awesome figure of Samantha Santos!! They make a powerful team and their mutual seduction was so worth the wait. Loved every character from this series and I enjoyed the fact that at the end the author gives us the thoughts and feelings of each of the protagonists with their happy ending. But it is not over thank goodness. There's more to come. Fabulous series! Galen and Sam deserved their happy ending and their relationship is just amazing with Sam as instrumental in their rescue just as Galen is. Thank you so much. I read all 11 books through kindle unlimited and have loved them all.

    Reviewed in Germany on January 8, 2022

    Das letzte Buch mit Magnus und Ever war ja schon ein Highlight, aber Galen und Sams Geschichte konnte da absolut mithalten.
    Es war mal wieder rasant, spannend und actiongeladen. Aber die Charaktere haben auch Tiefgang, ihre Päckchen zu tragen und die Gefühle zwischen den beiden entwickelten sich authentisch. Sie wurden zu einem unstoppbaren Team und wuchsen über sich hinaus, was mir beim Lesen einfach Spaß bereitete. Beide Charaktere kämpfen so mutig gegen ihre Feinde, dass man sie einfach bewundern muss und mit ihnen dem Happy End entgegen fiebert.
    Ein gelungener Abschluss einer gelungegen Reihe (wenn man mal von den Novellen absieht, die mittendrin meinen Lesefluss unterbrachen).
