About this listen

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author S. E. Smith brings another action-, adventure-, and suspense-filled story to transport listeners out of this world.

Merrick Ta'Duran is the powerful leader of the Eastern Mountain Clan on the Prime world of Baade. His people, known as the Ghosts of the Forests, live high in the Eastern Mountains. Merrick feels the weight of responsibility as the males within his clan become desperate to find mates among the few remaining females. When word comes that a new species has been discovered, he knows he must do what is right for his people, even if it means traveling to a strange alien realm to do it.

Merrick's world changes when he is injured and captured by a ruthless group of humans. Drugged and held against his will, he is the subject of experiments and testing as the humans try to discover where he came from and to duplicate his strength and ability to heal quickly. After months of captivity, he fears his life will end on the strange world - until one chance encounter gives him hope.

Addie Banks' life has been one of silence since a devastating illness when she was 16. Determined to stand on her own two feet, she goes to school during the day and works at night to put herself through college. Her life unexpectedly changes when she stumbles across something she wasn't supposed to see while at work. Now she hears a voice in her head, and it is driving her crazy. Her only hope for peace is to help the creature talking to her to escape from the men holding him.

Merrick knows the female who helps him is his bond mate. She may deny it. She may fight it. She may even try to run from it, but it won't matter. She is his, and he will do everything he can to convince her: hold her or even kidnap her if that is what it takes to make her realize that they belong together.

Will Addie hear the love and longing in Merrick's voice? Can she trust and accept the new life he has to offer? Or will a ruthless killer silence him before she gets a chance?

OMG!

OMG! I love reading/listening to S.E. Smith books. I had the audio version of this book. You will fall in love with Merrick and Addie just like me. This is the fifth book in Cosmos' Gateway series. Addie is such a strong woman. She lost her hearing as a teenager from an childhood illness. Merrick had never thought that he would fate his bonded mate. Merrick been through alot from testing, constantly being drugged, being shocked, moved from one place to another, is draining him. There is no doubt that your heart will weep for him just like mine did. This book has it all from heartfelt, full of love loyalties, family, community, and commitment. I would HIGHLY recommend this series to EVERYONE!! I can't wait to read more this series. Can Merrick and Addie survive? You WILL have to get this to find out. Keep up the amazing work! Again I found that Suzanne Elise Freeman Did another wonderful job with these characters.

How do I get to Baad?

Loved this series. I very much hope it continues. But I have never been disappointed in any of S. E. Smith books. Please continue this series and the one I have been waiting on Heaven Sent series. I really enjoy the audiobooks. Recommend all your books highly.

Book 5: well done

Some of the overlaps from previous stories is a bit confusing, but can't speak to whether it's more or less confusing to have read the previous stories, as I'm pretty tired while writing this. Narration fits the story. I would like it even better without some of the mispronunciations.

More! 😀 🤗 🤔

Wonderful series worth rereading several times over. Can't wait till Ford's story is on Audible and more books are written about these great people of like and earth interact with each other as the Prime warriors look for and find their own bond mates. Brock and Le... something and the two Russian women have to be dealt with we don't even know where one of them is. The pregnancy of all the women left and finishing the development of the serum from the mating fluid in their fangs/teeth, maybe taking samples of how the fluid works on human women can be developed and be used or mixed as the Prime really need a population boost esp females but the original siren can be used for the Prime women who want a male child instead of twin girls. Please Ms. Smith please continue with the series and of course make them Audible as well 😔 🙂 😃 😍 😎.

This cannot be the absolute end. We have to know Avery, Derrick and Runt's stories.
