Ravyn Flight Jarved 9 Book 1 Patti O'Shea 9780505525161 Books

Having read Day of Fire by Kathleen Nance and The Legend of Banzai Maguire by Susan Grant, I immediately pre-ordered Shadow Chasers by Liz Maverick, Grant's finale to Dorchester's 2176 series, The Scarlet Empress, and the fifth in the series,The Power of Two by Patti O'Shea. While I ordered, I noticed I had somehow missed O'Shea's debut book Ravyn's Flight, so I had to have it. If this is a preview of her style of writing, I cannot wait to get to her book in the 2176 series. This novel is amazing. There is such great talent in the Futuristic Romance genre, Robin D. Owen, C.J. Barry, Grant, but these new voices such as Robin T. Popp and Patti O'Shea are sounding they are a force that is here to stay. I just finished Popp's Too Close To The Sun and she blew me away. After reading such a great book as that, it's harder to come on the heels and impress me as much. Yet from page one that is precisely what O'Shea's book did! It's a strong story with such great female characters, but the males are just as vividly created, formed with such insight and emotion.

The main story centers on Ravyn Vedier. She is the communication expert on a team of 20 CAT specials - they go in and investigate if a planet is uninhabitable - or so they believe. They were sent to Jarved Nine, which is strangely like Earth in terrain, air etc. The only thing keeping this planet from being labeled a prime target for human habitation is the Old City. A town built for about 20,000 to 50,000 people, perfect in every way, but no people. When Ravyn visited the Old City, she found it in pristine condition, just as if the people walked off. The intriguing riddle soon takes second place in her mind as she faces mind-bending horror. She is down in the subbasement of the CAT facility, no more than 45 minutes, and returns to find her 19 CAT mates slaughter in a gruesome fashion and grotesquely arrange in the pattern of a flower.

Damon Brody and his team of six Special Ops force are on the other side of the Jarved Nine when the distress call comes from the CAT team. They arrive, discovers the slaughter, and fear all are dead. Damon finds a terrified Ravyn covered in blood and hiding in under her bed. He sets his men to secure to building while he tries to get answers out of Ravyn. Damon makes her a cup of tea and finally gets a few shaky replies from her, immediately going on alert when Ravyn insists she did not set off the emergency distress beacon. They rush to find his men, and come upon what Damon fears. His team is slaughtered in the same fashion as the other 19, this time arranged like a lightning bolt. Grabbing what they can carry to survive, they are left on their for three weeks until a military rescue mission is launched to find them. The only place left for protection is the Old City. They have to get there before the killer stalking them runs them to ground. It's their growing to trust of the other, which makes the grueling pace bearable.

Colonel Alex Sullivan is Ravyn's stepbrother. He raised her after their parents were killed. He knows something is bad wrong on Jarved Nine and he is determined to lead a team into rescue his sister...if she is still alive. He is satisfied with the members of his team, except the communications expert. Stacey is a CAT member, like his sister; in fact, she is Ravyn's best friend. Alex sees Stacey as a liability to his team. She is non-military. His gut tells him something terrible has occurred on this distant planet and Stacey's not trained to follow orders, not trained to defend herself, so he is going to push her during the weeks long voyage to Jarved Nine, trying to see she stays alive. Stacey has been in love with Alex since she met him at Ravyn's and her graduation years before, so working under the harsh taskmaster is disturbing in more ways that one.

The secondary story of Alex and Stacey could make a novel on its own, but under the skillful talent of O'Shea, she weaves both tales into a breathtaking pace. The world of Jarved Nine is vividly created, the characters achingly real. You will care for Damon and Ravyn, and the secondary Alex and Stacey. She starts with the first couple running for their lives and the second desperately rushing to their rescue, in a breakneck pace for the reader that never lags, never fails to mesmerize.

Be warned, this is a book once you pick you won't be able to put down. I was looking forward to the Power of Two before I read Ravyn's Flight, now I desperately looking forward to it!

Ravyn Flight Jarved 9 Book 1 Patti O'Shea 9780505525161 Books Reviews

Good writing, great character s really enjoyed the edge of danger. Will be buying her other books now. And will recommend her to my friends.
I enjoyed this book. a little action. A little comedy. lots of scary. some steamy lov'in. and romance full of drama. This brother and sister really needed the new loves they have found to complete their lives, and learn it's ok to love.
I first read Patti O'Shea when I picked up "Eternal Nights" at a mom and pop grocery store on my way camping. Her writing was stunning. I had to buy the book that started the Jarved 9 adventure, "Ravyn's Flight".
As usual, O'Shea gave me all I ask for in a paranormal--an otherworldly mood with some evocative love scenes. Her secondary characters have just as much depth as her hero and heroine which gives the whole story a bigger feel.
I love this series and I'm looking forward to the next Jarved 9 book.
This book has been out a while, but if you haven't read it, you can RUN out and get it now.
Pay no attention to the sleasy cover,(whoever designed this cover needed to read the book first) this is great stuff. I hope she will write more in this universe.
From the first page you will be caught. What a story. What a man. What a woman! What a journey of the imagination. What a writer!!!!!!!!
So many others have reviewed the plot, I'll just tell you not to start reading too late at night. I couldn't put it down. From the steamy sex to the final battle, it was great.
I loved the secondary characters, and the alien destroyer.
Not since Jayne Castle have I found a better author of futuristic romance. A great read. Don't miss it.
I laughed, I cried & stayed up 1/2 the night! Don't let the cheesy cover deter you, this is a really good book. Great plot delivering gripping intensity--a la the movie "Predator" or "Aliens." There were some well-written steamy scenes, which were driven by mutual love (sweet but genuine). Overall, it's a classic "good triumphs over evil" scenario with a very creative execution. Enjoy!
It reminded me of a star trek adventure. I was expecting more romance and would have preferred more. Instead, it was primarily about an evil alien on a far away planet who could use mind control over humans and then kill them. Two humans are on the run, trying to escape from the alien.

CAUTION SPOILERS
The humans later learn that by using their own psychic powers and the power of love they could prevail over the alien. I didn't like three assumptions and actions of Damon. He delayed becoming intimate with Ravyn because he believed she would hate him for it when they eventually returned to earth, which was not true at all. He was told that only by acting together, could he and Ravyn defeat the alien. Yet he planned to go after the alien alone, which meant he would die because the alien could easily control his mind without Ravyn's help. Later when Alex comes to help and rescue them, Damon does not tell Alex the details about how to defeat the alien, which he should have.

Sexual language mild. Number of sex scenes four. Setting sometime in the future on a planet named Jarved Nine. Copyright 2002. Genre science fiction with a little romance thrown in.
Our heroine is the only survivor of an expedition on another planet. Our hero was sent in as part of a team to rescue her, he too is the only survivor of the rescuers. Together they have to figure out who (or what) is stalking and killing anyone who lands on this planet...oh, and also explore the city they find, which should have been in ruins...only it wasn't. AND explore their developing feelings.
I liked this book so much that I had to get it in e-book so that I would have it for a future re-read on a rainy or snowy day.
