Nira. Astrum Industries’ newest charted planet. Freshly discovered. Wholly unexplored. But that won’t be the case for long. Led by Captain Alec Hamlin, a team of explorers make an emergency landing and are soon confronted by their first Niran native. A huge male Kríe packed with muscle and bearing small, black horns and fangs. Fortunately, he’s friendly. Or so he lets them believe. With the help … the help of his pack, the Kríe takes Alec’s team captive, intending to sell them for profit. But these Nirans aren’t just shrewd, they’re arrogant and domineering. And most of all, extremely sexual. Which explains why, on their journey to peddle their new wares, they feed Alec’s team a powerful aphrodisiac. Nothing like some decadent entertainment on the side. Soon the team finds themselves feverishly trying to resist the growing urge to get physical with their captors. But as passion prevails and unexpected bonds form, so much more is suddenly at stake. With no time left, will a shift in Kríe perspective be enough to change the fate of Alec’s team?
Warning: Contains mild dub/con elements, and explicitly scorching gay sex with exotic and shamelessly kinky males of otherworldly descent.
Excerpt (for adults only):
Alec roused to the crackle and popping of a fire… and the sound of more than one Gesh-like voice. Eyelids not quite ready to open, he shifted with a groan. Then froze. Somehow he was sitting upright but couldn’t move. Not much at least, thanks to something holding him secure by his throat and chest. Heart instantly back to hammering, he forced his eyes to open so he could get busy assessing what the fuck. Slowly, his blurry vision started to clear. It was nighttime and, oh God, he was tied to a tree.
Instinctively, he tugged at his snugly tied hands. But when his wrists and forearms grazed his crotch, he made another startling discovery. His dick was literally hard as rock, and his nut sac felt kind of swollen, too. What the fuck? Had he been having a wet dream while knocked out cold? Talk about messed up timing.
Warily, he lifted his eyes to his surroundings. A dozen yards away, poking at a campfire, Gesh sat talking to… another Kríe. Alec sucked in a breath as his eyes focused more. Oh, hell. Make that three other Kríe. And all of them were ransacking the team’s rucksacks! Alec glowered, until five more Kríe strode into view.
Aw, fuck. Tied up and totally outnumbered.
Gesh spotted him watching and sauntered over. Grinning, the big fucker squatted down in front of him, his skin looking black in the firelight. “Alec,” he greeted, his rich timbre smug.
“Asshole,” Alec irritably returned.
Gesh canted his head, his expression amused, then reached out and ran a claw down Alec’s forearm. Not hard enough to draw blood, but enough to warrant Alec’s attention. Because that black fucker was sharp and could definitely do damage. Alec watched the thing until Gesh used it to lift Alec’s chin, forcing Alec’s gaze back to his. Alec studied his face, his features inexplicably attractive, that tiny dark gold hoop through his nasal septum only adding to his exotic appeal. And God, up close, his golden eyes were amazing. Even if Alec was pissed at the guy. They were stunning. Damn near hypnotizing. Especially with his black pupils all dilated like that.
Again, Gesh’s lips curved into a grin. “I was impatient for you to wake, Alec. Was impatient for us to talk.”
Alec blinked, then froze. Holy shit. Gesh spoke English. But wait. No way was that possible.
Gesh chuffed out a laugh, his grin expanding until thick fangs dropped into view. Wow, for such a bastard, the Kríe had a great smile. The way those full, dark lips made the white of his teeth pop…
Alec squeezed his eyes shut and tried to clear his head. God, not only was he hearing things, but wearing rose-colored glasses, too. Gesh did not have a great smile. Gesh was a backstabbing prick.

An Amazing Out of this WorldFantasy! Great Narration & Audible Listen
Kríe Captivity
The Nira Chronicles, Book 1
By: Kora Knight
Narrated by: Zane Daniels
Wow, this book just blew me away, the story is unique and original with some surprising twists and turns. I must say I was in Kora Captivity because it captivated my attention from the very start and I did not want to put the book down until the end, I needed to know what happened next. I loved Kora Knight’s “Upending Tad” series and it is great to see another side of her creative mind. There is great character development and world building in this futurist sci-fi fantasy, a space mission gone bad when Captain Alec Hamlin and his crew’s space ship is attacked and forced to a crash landing on planet Nira. They are taken captive by a species called Krie, a huge male with horns, fangs and nails that are like claws. The Krie have plans for them, including to get them to beg for them to take care of their needs. Alec, Zaden, Chet and Bailey never had interest in other men but the things the Krie do to them change their mind. Gesh had taken a liking to Noah right from the start, but he still did stuck to his original plans in the end which leads to the next book Zercy. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a seduction level is off the charts hot, the coupling scene was too. I am looking forward to what happens next for Alec and his team, as well as the rescue team coming and Gesh and his jungle pack mates. Kora Knight, thank you for this fascinating story.
And for the amazing narration, Zane Daniels is an awesome narrator and a versatile voice artist. He performs the voices of all the characters, giving each their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. His portrayal of each character is spot on, he takes each role and makes it his own, sounding believable and just as I picture them to sound. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all the characters emotions as well as their passion and projects them into his performance. He does a great job with speaking Krie too. I love how flawlessly he switches roles and handles the back and forth dialogue with ease. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen
Krie Captivity is the first book in The Nira Chronicles, an alien, sci-fi story with romantic elements. Even though this is the first book, it read more like an extended prequel with cliffhanger ending. That isn’t a bad thing, but just be warned that you will want to immediately start the next book which picks up almost immediately from where the first book ended. I love romantic sci-fi books, and The Nira Chronicles hit all the right buttons with me – sexy aliens, delicious steamy sex scenes, interesting worldbuilding, and a lot of drama and adventure. This book might not be for everyone, so make sure to read the warnings and take that into consideration before starting this book.
Kora has a gift. She writes such engaging and captivating stories that I find them simply impossible to put down. I’m not a big Sci Fi reader but it’s Kora – so I read it! This book is now my #1 favourite Sci Fi book (followed by Zercy – the number 2 in the series). Her descriptions, the pace she sets in her stories and the heat generated are just on a whole other level to any other author. She has no peer. The book is amazing, brilliant and so well written that I cannot find a single fault in it – but now it’s in audio. Zane Daniels does a simply fantastic job bringing Nira (the planet and world the book is set in) to life – making the words, language and creatures seem real and putting me RIGHT THERE. I cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone who likes hot, sexy reads and who wants to read (or listen) to a well written story that cannot be put down
This book belongs to the d*cked-out-by-an-alien genre. The M/M edition. And call me kinky, but it was actually pretty entertaining.
Obviously, this is not a book meant for everyone . But it works for open-minded people who enjoy Sci-Fi and supernatural reads. And also like to read about d*ck. There’s soooo much d*ck in this book it’s a bit unreal.
I liked the general world-building in Kríe Captivity . But then, I’m a total Sci-Fi fan, so I’ll take an alien society any day. Unfortunately, since the focus of this story is on the carnal activity, the descriptions of the alien world are kept at a very superficial level. For example, there are quite a few highly evolved species on the planet, but only the Kríe species is depicted in any detail.
I’m not sure how to properly describe the dicking going on in this book. But since it’s so central to the story, I need to give it a try. It’s safe to say that said dicking didn’t exactly appeal to me. There’s no non-con, so that was good. But apart from that, the sexytimes were one part blueballs and one part weird and uncomfortable . But I don’t judge. I’m sure there are plenty of people who enjoy reading about bondage, orgies, all sort of things stuffed into orifices and consumption of bodily fluids.
There were a few odd things about Kríe Captivity though. First of all, the choice of POV was a bit strange . The entire story – apart from the first chapter – was told from the POV of the team leader, Alec. But it’s one of the other guys who actually falls in love with an alien. Sort of. So, personally, I would have preferred Noah, the scientist who falls for the alien Gesh, to be the narrator of the story. Then there was the first chapter . It features a whole other team of humans, a rescue team come to help the ones who crashed. But they’re only ever mentioned in the beginning of the book and then forgotten. On the other hand, since this is a cliff-hanger , they’ll probably return in the sequel. But the cliff-hanger got me quite irritated. Because there’s not even a hint of a partial closure in the end of Kríe Captivity. So unless you’re planning on reading the entire series – don’t start this book!
All in all, this was entertaining as hell. Not particularly sexy, but still a fun read in a wholly inappropriate way.

I usually prefer slightly more sweet than hot, but sometimes I have a particular itch to scratch – and boy did this read scratch it. I’ll warn everyone in advance that you definitely shouldn’t read this unless you’re okay with dubcon, because not only does this book contain instances of it, but it basically forms the entire premise. I knew what I was getting myself into though so the only issue I had here is that the main character (otherwise apparently a pretty smart guy) spends at least a couple of pages near the end of the book justifying it to himself, essentially calling it consensual when it clearly wasn’t (which always tends to rub me the wrong way a bit). This was a relatively minor issue though since, again, I knew exactly what I’d be getting when I bought this. If you’re into aliens and kink with your M/M romance, and are looking for mostly steam over in-depth plot or characterization, I’d say this one’s a must-read.
