The universe is under threat and an ancient alien intelligence threatens to bring humanity down unless Major Sanda Greeve and her crew can stop it in the final book of this explosive Philip K. Dick award nominated space opera.
The code has been cracked. The secrets of the Casimir gates have been revealed. But humanity still isn't safe. The alien intelligence known as Rainier and her clones are still out there, hell-bent on its destruction. And only Sanda can stop them.

Riveting!

O'Keefe finds ways to constantly rachet up the tension and stakes while still having another shoe to drop, pressing forward at a rapid pace while simultaneously sewing horrifying recall into on bang up adventure!

Very good chapter in the series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book in the series. My only complaint is the language used to get the point across. it seems now days people find it necessary to use that language too frequently. other than that, I highly recommend this series.

Loved all 60 hours of this series!

Great hard sci-fi. O’Keefe masterfully spins a web of characters and tech that feels like a real place. Joe Jamison brings it to life with superb narration.

Amazing

loved the final book, and still wanting more from it. I want to read again, far in the future, what is Sanda and Thomas and Bero are up to and what new adventures they will have

Great, unique sci-fi trilogy

I really enjoyed this trilogy. I think it is a very unique and complex execution of a classic 'alien tries to kill all humans' scenario. I love O'Keefe's writing style and the words and descriptions she uses, I think she's a great author. I love all of the characters and I think they had believably separate personalities. This was likely elevated by Joe Jameson's outstanding narration performance though.

As much as I liked the story, it was quite long. LOTS of story threads with tons of characters that eventually linked together, but could be confusing. There was just a lot of detail that I was gettng pretty confused by towards the end. The final chapters did a good job of explaining the events though.

Could not put it down

Attention to detail masterful written Except for the sexual content one of the better books I listened to

Outstanding..

Outstanding.. although slightly less so than 1&2. Just has some holes and improbable gaps that had to be bridged. A few deus ex machina moments like when the 3 of them land secretly in the gigantic secret guard corp base, in the exact spot where they could amazingly overhear the 3 most senior supporting antagonists discuss their entire plan, outloud, as though it was the first time they'd ever put voice to and summarized it. What an amazing stroke of luck! I actually had to re-listen to several chapters, several times over, just to make sure I hadn't missed or misunderstood something as the story passed over these leaps of logic.
Anyway... The alien rebels' computers and a couple other features made book 3 much much less of a hard sci-fi feel than 1 & 2 had been, and more of a sci-fi fantasy. Still, overall outstanding and a full conclusion to the series.

Great story here!

the story was awesome, and the scifi ideas and concepts were unique and well thought out! my only complaint is that the end felt rushed, the main antagonist just seemed to go away.. and I would have liked more info regarding one specific moment.. but I don't want to spoil anything so I'll leave it there. enjoy!

That's not how we pronounce Rainier

Entertaining, well written, great character names. Three stars because this is mostly entertaining, not thought provoking. Once I realized where the character Rainier got their name, I was a bit annoyed because that's not how it's pronounced locally, despite it being the legit British pronunciation. Anyway, highly recommended if you want something fun and mostly light.

great series

I really enjoy this series I would recommend that you listen to the whole series, you want be disappointed
