Sticks the landing, pun intended

It's rare to find a trilogy that keeps the same intensity all the way through (there are peaks and valleys, but it's all good). Mammon does that to perfection, and Nemesis really brings it all home in a way that keeps the pressure on and makes you wonder just what sort of dastardly deeds are around the next corner.

One big criticism of dystopic/apocalyptic shows is that it's an endless parade of people just being jerks. There's a lot of that in this series but it comes to an ending here. There's an actual resolution. People realize what they've done and how to prevent themselves from doing it again. It's a well-written rarity and it was fun to read.

A Climactic Act III

The third part of Robert Kroese's Mammon series is a climactic Act III that kept me listening and on the edge of my seat. This book mixes personal, familial, political, and professional intrigue, and each of the story lines carries its own weight coming together well in the end. I enjoyed each book in this series both for the stories themselves and for the performance and delivered by narrator Jonathan Beville.

Does it stick the landing? Yes.

Where does the world go from being hit with (parts of) a meteor?

Does the United States have a part to play on the verge of bankruptcy?

How much trouble can Rick Sutherland cause?

Did you need a Russian named Oleg in this book?

I think it is fair to say that Kroese answers all these questions and more!
