Publisher's summary

The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret.

But there is another secret even less known... and far more terrifying.

As the U.S. President addresses the nation fromthe Oval Office, a missile screams toward the White House. In a lightning flash, the Chief Executive is dead, his mansion in ruins, and two cryptic words are the only clue to the assassins’ motives: “See Scalar.”

Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent - caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders - along with partner and lover Paige Campbell and technology expert Bethany Stewart, have only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country - and back through time and malleable memory - is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill....

A good read, but I expected a bit more.

If you start with the first in the series "The Breach" you may be a bit disappointed in this 3rd entry. Its still a great listen, but it has fallen off from the first and second.

Good but disappointing

I loved the first two books and while I enjoyed this book it wasn't as good as the first two in many ways.

First off this book is SHORT. Perhaps it didn't need to be as long as the previous two but it felt a little rushed and less detailed than the other two books. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I think it took a little bit away from this book.

Second, the ending was pretty awesome in some ways but I felt a little dissatisfied. I mean they didn't explicitly say "and then X happened" because it should be really obvious; I just felt a little empty like the story was missing a chapter at the end. Perhaps the writer was best stopping the book where he did...

It would be interesting to see if we could explore more stories in this universe but...well I don't want to spoil the ending here but I'm guessing the stories would have to be quite different. Still, I would love to see it.

Nice finish to the series

Sorry its over - really liked this series. If you liked the other two, you won't be disappointed by this one.

Great finish to an awesome trilogy

Great ending to a great series of books ... If u like
sci-fi fantasy then these are the books for you . They do ok as stand alone books but I am glad I read a review which said to read the series in order I got a lot more out of the books that way .

Satisfying Conclusion to the trilogy

You will want to listen to/read the first two books in this series before starting Deep Sky.

Deep Sky was a satisfying conclusion to the "Breach" series. Lee does a great job tying up several plot lines and filling in the blanks. I'm assuming this is the last book although there is potentially room for more. Lee's creativity is amazing and I'm sure he is a very intelligent individual. My one issue with his writing is his greatest strength, the ability to create tension and drama is sometimes his greatest weakness. There was a scene where Paige was approaching "someone" and had to be very quiet. Lee went on and on with "another step and another and another" ad nauseam. It took me out of the scene and made me think of "Happy Gilmore" when Chubbs was saying "Just tap it in. Just tap it in." "Tappy Tappy!!!"
Other than that issue (which exists in every book in the series), Lee is an incredible author and I'm hoping in future books he learns to be less liberal with his brush strokes when creating his art.
As always, Jeff Gurner did a great job narrating the book.

Did not disappoint me, what a great series

Any additional comments?

This is the last book of three and all I can really say is that this was an action pack series that made me feel fulfilled at the end. This last book brings in all the little things you found in the first two books and puts a bow on it. If you are a fan if Sci-Fi , please give this series a try and when you get to this book, look in the mirror at your grin and be happy. If you read the first two books, what are you waiting for! Dive back in and finish the job!

What a conclusion to a fantastic trilogy!

I love the "plausibility" with the science behind it. Well written, and an amazing imagination he has! It is such a complicated story (starting in book one), I'm blown away how he tied it all together. Almoat believable science fiction.

2nd reread great story kept moving. lots of new

concepts just wish we were not always run ....ruined by dem . governments.
hopw there is a sequel one day

Fun little read

Would you consider the audio edition of Deep Sky to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version

What other book might you compare Deep Sky to and why?

It has not

Which scene was your favorite?

I like the way the story moves along.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nothing especially

Any additional comments?

This book is not too long and does not take a lot of effort to follow, so it's an "easy read" that is entertaining.

Deep Sky-the trilogy ends

Deep Sky" is the final novel in the series. It does a good job of winding up all the dangling strings left in 'Ghost Country" and even some left over from 'The Breach"

As a whole, I very much enjoyed the series and recommend it for a sic-fi/future history reader. Some romance but not too overdone, interesting tech thoughts kept me involved, the male and female protagonists were both well written as was the plot as a whole.

Well worth the credit.
