Resumen del Editor

Three years after Ashanti spaced for Solar System, Turalon reappears in the Donovanian sky. The Corporation has returned. Donovan’s wealth is a lure for the powerful families who control the Board. Unburdened by morals, they are bringing their battle for supremacy to Port Authority and a showdown that could tear The Corporation apart.

Much to her disgust, Falise Taglioni has been chosen to ensure that her family emerges triumphant; she comes with instructions for her brother, Dek. After all, she could always manipulate him to her will. And she will again, even if she has to destroy Talina Perez in the process. And if her war with the Grunnels, Xian Chans, and Radceks destroys Port Authority in the process? Who cares?

But nothing on Donovan is static, and in the three years since Ashanti’s departure, life on the planet has hardened Kalico Aguila and the scrappy inhabitants of Port Authority. Life in the bush breeds a different kind of human: genetically altered, tough, and self-reliant. And on Donovan, determining who is predator and who is prey has never been easy.

Meanwhile, for Kylee Simonov and her bonded quetzal, Flute, there will be a final comeuppance. Because on Donovan, blood vendetta needs to be paid. And then she’s going to town. After which, nothing will be the same.

Excellent all around

I sincerely hope that this is not the end of the series. The characters are too well written to be forgotten. I want to know what comes next.

Feel Good Fun For My Inner Teenager

Spoiler alert:stop reading here if you want to discover for yourself.

The author ties a lot of things together here. This time the miscreants don’t fare so well.

Unexpected people grow into better people.

An unexpected change from the other five volumes. Yes, it is that noticeable. Thumbs up!

Reckoning

By W. Michael Gear
narrated Alyssa Bresnahan

How Alyssa reads the story the listener feels more of the threat and horror. The books descriptions become more vivid, threatening as you focus on each creature or threat to the colony. The inner thoughts of the characters become your own.



Always a master with word, Michael has named this book as it should be. The hint itself is the title. The book is a reckoning for all the characters new and old in the book. The soft meat has made it to Donovan. After the successful return to Earth of Turalon and Ashanti, overflowing with cargo, and plundering rich despots, protected by family, there will be a reckoning. What the corporation does not understand is their methods do not work on Donovan. Their wormtongue-esque, corporate sponsored investigators are in the scare of a lifetime. People come to Donovan for three reasons, to leave, to find themselves and to die. This book stays true to the Donovan epitaph, as the families of the corporation learn the hard way, even the Taglioni family. It's better to have a lineage than a family. Great job, Michael, and you need a seventh book. Someone else back at Transluna needs a reckoning.

A Must Read Science Fiction Series

I have read some of Mr. Gear's other novels and while they are good this series stands out and has become a must read for me. I like the twist and turns in the story and the alien world that has been created.

Great!

An exciting story and could not pick a better narrator. I was sorry to end the last audio book of series.

Great series , love them !

I love this whole series and the narration is awesome I can’t wait for the next one in the series to come out.

Great Book

Masterful, fast paced, Donovan series novel. Artful insertions of information from previous series books. Enjoy.

Great series!

Not even my usual genre but W. Michael Gear never disappoints. The story, the characters, an entirely new and different environment, all so well- developed. Couldn't wait for each subsequent book.

Spectacular

Another spectacular tale of Donovan. Bright characters and a gripping story line from book one to book six.

my favorite series

I listening to about 70 books a year, mostly sci-go, and the Donovan series is my favorite. Reckoning does not disappoint, both reintroducing the threatening influence of the Corporation and continuing the development of our favorite Donovanians.

Can’t wait for the next installment!
