Just like all of Debbie’s books, this was filled with action, tension and deep, realistic emotions. I was glued to the page from start to finish and stated the second book in the series right away.
Special Note before starting this story…
This novella is part of the Planet Athion series. A few authors have come together to write stories in this Sci-Fi Universe featuring a different array of characters, circumstances, and outcomes. You can read the series in any order, but I suggest for a more enjoyable reading experience, as well as a better overall understanding, you should read in the following order:
1) Marissa Farrar – Darkest Skies – start of the invasion and sets up the overall plot of the series
2) Lily Harlem – Equinox – takes place on one of the spaceships
3) Angel Lawson – Pioneer – takes place on Planet Athion
4) Debbie Cassidy – Survivor’s Heart – takes place on an asteroid – Vesper V
* Marissa Farrar also has a spin-off series connected to this world – The Tradrych Strain – takes place on Planet Tradrych
Now after all that, on to the good stuff…
Survivor’s Heart – Rogue is the first story in Debbie Cassidy’s three-book addition to the Planet Athion series. Right from the first page this story sets a strong fast pace that continues throughout the entire read. There is non-stop action, intense confrontations, continuous suspense, heartbreak, dangerous situations, emotional turmoil, tragedy, hope, and love.
Stolen from earth and thrust into a waking nightmare where every second of every day is a fight for survival, Rogue and her friends/team battle in gladiator-type games on an enemy planet. After being betrayed, kidnapped, pumped full of toxins and experimented on, she finds herself on Vesper V amongst others as alien to her as she is to them, but all with a common goal – to survive. Broken into houses their team is matched against others in grueling battles for their captors’ enjoyment where they literally fight for their lives. After tragedy strikes her team, a new arrival joins their group and offers a thread of hope. But will he be her salvation or the means to her death?
This novella is an exciting read from beginning to end with engaging characters and a fascinating storyline that will keep you on your toes.
This is Planet Athion Sci Fi Cassidy style and its freakin awsom. It starts off fast paced, grabs you by the short and curleys and holds on so that you absolutely cannot put this book down until its finished. Luckily being a novella its not a long book but unluckily it means that once you finish it you are left completely desperate for the next instament.
Rouge has been abducted from her home planet and after an unusual reaction to a fertility drug she is sent to a planet where she has to fight to survive literally – the fights take place in an arena and are always in teams of 4. But when one of her team mates that she has fallen for is killed things go from bad to worse, heartbroken and trying to hold herself together things go from bad to worse and she is couped up with a Trad and one of the ones with the absolute worst reputation.
I wont give you any spoilers so you will need to read the book to see what happens next.
Planet Athion is a world/universe where several writers have collections of books and this is the fastest paced book so far to date and one of my absolute favourites.
Firefly meets Gladiator!!!

Space opera with more than a touch of Spartacus, this fast-paced, adult action tale takes less than four hours to read. I read an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
