You just got to love this series

I really enjoyed this book and had listened to it within a day.
This is the third book in the love and war book and I have listened and enjoyed the previous two books and this was no exception.
I love the way each warrior is damaged in some way and is ready to die for his or her cause but with all the mayhem going on they still find love and a reason to live.
This book is Pax's turn and being the only cyborg in the group it was fun to find out how he was going to fall in love (especially with not being able to feel) as well as take down the regime. I love all the characters from the grumpy to the brave and like the way that they are all individuals but have important parts to play within the team and there ever lasting friendships. May good continue to triumphant over evil.
Gwendolyn is the narrator for all the books in this series and I hope she continues as I can't imagine a better person to bring these characters to life.

Good, But I was Hoping For More

After starting this series awhile back I’ve been anxiously waiting to learn more about Pax. For a cyborg who should have no emotion, he seemed to be very loyal and caring toward his team mates. This story has him giving up the ultimate in order to save what is left of his fellow cyborgs. I call that emotional. The way I see it, it’s personal emotions like love, pity, and grief that Pax can’t feel. That is, until Nahleene Veila’ana transfers her feelings to him. They are an unlikely pair that find their HEA.

The story is choppy and will be difficult to follow if you have not read the first two books. More emphasis is placed on the continuing struggle against the Regime than romance. He’s a CYBORG. Geez. I’d think the steam and Taboo could have been out of this world (no pun intended) but the sex scenes weren’t that inspirational.

I am forever impressed by Gwendolyn Druyor’s talent. She has so many voices I forget it’s a single person reading.
All in all, it’s a good listen and addition to an impressive series.

Difficult to follow

This book centers around a military cyborg, Pax, and a diplomatic telepath, Nahleene. The author's synopsis claims the story is about the two coming together to fight the Ilarian military and the evil experiments they ran on different people, Pax included. As a cyborg, Pax is unable to feel any emotions, and Nahleene, as a telepath is able to transfer emotions to anyone she touches.
I found the story difficult to follow and lacking in direction. This is the third installment in the Love and War series, so reading the prior books is imperative if you hope to follow along.
The narrator did a great job in representing the different voices and her cadence was easy to listen to.
This book seemed more like a filler episode.

Exciting sci-fi adventure

I loved this addition to the Love and War series. I absolutely love all the damaged characters in this series and how they fight against the regime that destroyed their lives, families, and homes. It's wonderful how they help and heal each other in the midst of tragedy and struggle. I was impressed and intrigued by the way Ms. Steffan was able to make a cyborg one of the main characters here and develop his ability to experience emotions through a telepath, even though his own emotion centers had long since been destroyed. She made him relatable and believable. I felt sorry for his past loss of self due to a conversion process he obviously wasn't fully informed of when he agreed to be part of the project. I'm not usually a Sci-fi fan, but this series is as driven by the people, emotions, and clever intigues, as the technology and science. I love every book, and I eagerly await more of the story.

Ms. Druyor's narration is always fantastic. She is good with male and female (and cyborg) voices, and she is a master at expressing the emotions of the characters. Her tone, pacing, and delivery are always spot on.

An exciting read!

Vithii military cyborgs never go rogue.
At least, that’s the official line.

Such a wonderfully fantastic read! Loved loved it! Very interesting and devouring.

A perfect story. A wonderful read. Great characters.

Well-written story that will take you on a journey leaving you breathless and hungry for more!

The narrator did a wonderful job of giving life to this story!

Another winning production from Steffan/Druyor....

Antibody is the third in the Love and War series, but the author gives the right amount of background and world building, so that this book could be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend the first two books in the series, and this book is even better as part of the series. Love and War brings back the Shadow Wing crew, a group of rogue space dwellers fighting against evil forces trying to wipe out humans from the solar system. This book features Pax, a cyborg programmed to only obey orders and kill as directed. However, unlike his fellow cyborgs, Pax developed a free will and fled his creators when they ordered him to self-destruct. Pax joined the Shadow Wing group, and, although he has found friendship with them, he still feels alone in a world predisposed to fear him for his lack of feelings.

Introduced in book two, when she comes to the aid of the Shadow Wing, Nahleene Veila’ana is a Vithian ambassador, part-time spy and secret telepath. It is this final skill that proves the saving of Pax in so many ways. While working together on a secret mission to destroy an army of essentially zombie cyborgs, Pax and Nahleene become very close physically and emotionally. By touching Nahleene, Pax can sense her emotions, and it is the closest he has come to feeling since being converted into a cyborg. Conversely, Nahleene finds Pax's lack of emotions soothing to her heightened senses. In other words, these two are exactly what the other needs. Of course, the author throws in some obstacles to them reaching their HEA (miscommunications, multiple life threatening missions, drama among the crew, etc.), but I certainly enjoyed the ride to them getting there.

Gwendolyn Druyor's narration is sublime. She narrates all of the RA Steffan novels, and I can't imagine a better choice for these action-packed paranormal romances. She differentiates beautifully between the characters, she handles accents with great skill, and her emotion level is always perfect for the mood of the scene. Once again, a reader can't go wrong with the team of Steffan and Druyor.
