Hunter is an elite Trivator warrior sent to seek out new worlds. Shocked when a strange human female risks her life for him, Hunter finds in her a reward beyond comprehension to a Trivator warrior, a family. Can he convince Jesse he can give her and her younger sisters a better life on his world?
Jesse Sampson and her two younger sisters have lived a hard life on the streets of Seattle, Washington for the past several years. Four years before, the Earth received its first visitors from space causing mass fear. Alone in a world gone mad with just her sisters, Jesse has learned to use the darkness and the remains of the city to survive and keep what was left of her family alive. She has seen the savage side of human nature and finds they are not much different from the aliens who conquered the Earth.
The Trivators have taken control of the Earth to prevent the humans from destroying it in their fear. A world of warriors, they are sent out by the Alliance of Star Systems to seek out new worlds. Their mission is first contact. They are to establish communication with the leaders of the new worlds they find and bring them into the Alliance. Any resistance is to be quickly subdued to prevent unnecessary death of the inhabitants of the new worlds they find. Their payment comes from the success of their mission.
Hunter is what he is called. A hunter, one of the elite clans of the Trivators who seek out those who resist. His abilities to track, capture and eliminate those who try to harm any warrior is renowned. He finds the tables turned when he becomes the one captured by a group of ruthless humans.
Hunter is shocked when a strange human female risks her life to help him escape only to disappear into the ruins of the city. He now has a new mission, finding the female who saved his life. He is determined to find her before she is damaged by others of her kind.
What he finds is a reward beyond comprehension to a Trivator warrior, a family. Can he convince Jesse that he can give her and her younger sisters a better life in his world? Or will fear keep her from accepting what he has to offer?
“Can you lift the chain off quietly while I work on the other lock?”
“Yes,” he hissed.
Jesse nodded in relief. She was beginning to feel a glimmer of hope that maybe she would be able to pull this off and both of them could escape and go their own ways. She was more familiar with the locks now and it only took her a few seconds to undo the third lock holding him captive. She was about to explain how to use the keys when the sound of footsteps outside the van drew their attention.
Jesse looked fearfully at the huge male sitting up on the table now. Her eyes flew to the last lock. She had to undo it or he would be an easy target for them. She scooted between the wall of the van and the table and frantically worked at it. They would know something was wrong when they saw the doors unlocked. Her hands shook so badly she almost dropped the key several times. I should have left him, she thought as the lock finally sprang open. I’ve killed my sisters and myself to rescue those responsible for us being in this position.

when will dagger’s book be out? Can I preorder it? Thank you.
I’m working on my release dates. I’m hoping to have a better idea after my second grandson is born in December. As of now, I plan on releasing Dagger’s Hope in March 2015. I’ll post as soon as I have a definitely release date. 🙂
Congrats on the new grand baby and thank you! I have been waiting for info on the Alliance series. Love the first two books and looking forward to the next. Thanks again.
My pleasure, Michelle! <3
Purchased Hunter’s Claim on audio book–the print was my first book by SE Smith, and I fell in love with it (now I have read everything out now, I think). The audio book is really good; the narrator does a really good job. I would love a sequel with more of the plot taking place on Earth (even more so than Razor’s). Still, really love this story, and the audio book certainly does it justice.
Hi Lindsey, thank you so much for your lovely post! I know David will love to hear that you enjoyed his narration. I’ll pass it along to him. Razor’s story is coming up next. There will be a mixture of more stories from the Alliance. Some will be more on Earth, while others will take us to other galaxies. Dagger and Jordan will be next.

Hi Lizzy. Let me check on Storytel. Sometimes it is hard to keep track as to which distributors have picked up an audiobook/story and which haven’t. I do have it be distributed there.
