Resumen del Editor

Jacques McKeown is the most celebrated author of star-pilot fiction in the galaxy. He's rich, famous, and living in luxury, and his universe-wide fanbase eagerly awaits any news of his next book.

There's just one small hitch.

He's not Jacques McKeown.

He's Dashford Pierce, star pilot and con artist, and if only the impatient calls from his publisher were the worst of his problems. There's also the last vestige of the Henderson crime gang, trouble brewing in the retired star-pilot community, and a small matter of somebody trying to kill him.

As his web of lies falls apart and the crosshairs zero in, Pierce has no other option but to take one last adventure. An odyssey to the very edge of known space to finally answer the question that has twisted up his life for five years: Just who is Jacques McKeown?

Absolutely loved it

Loved the story. Would love more, but it has been neatly wrapped up. Time for me to realisten to the trilogy.

Unexpected but awesome

Is this supposed to be trilogy? There is clearly left room for more. Loved it. Great third instalment. I laughed out loud so many times.

Fantastic writing and superb storytelling.

What makes this a great story, and an overall amazing saga, are the twists and turns throughout. The author, who I've been falling for many years, understands that while having a main goal for the majority of a tale can help with structure, it's far more exciting when the status quo constantly changes and evolves.
People who were allies or enemies switch based on reasonable turns in the plot, and the character's motivations and drives are realistic, even if the world they live in isn't.
Like always, Yahtzee delivers yet another classic onto the ever growing collection he's both written and voice since his first release, and I can barely wait for the next one.

I will follow Queen Zetraxia to the end of the galaxy

this book successfully makes fun of a huge number of sci-fi tropes while also having laugh out loud moments.

the story is a little bit all over the place, until you realize it pretty much follows the structure of a Star Trek episode, with setting up the story, then two parallel story tracks, plot twists and then wonderfully contrived resolution.

I found myself bookmarking and making little recorded Snippets of some of my favorite sections. I'vme been telling my friends about the really good parts over lunch!

I really like this book

Yahtzees stuff always has a nice flow to it. I feel like I can just listen to for an absurd amount of time without realizing it

Genuinely electrifying

Sharp wit, engaging story, and a wonderful performance as always. I find the passing history’s particularly interesting this time around. Focusing less on the “change is bad” and more “these things happen and it’s natural” far more interesting and less old man yells at cloud. As clever as ever, few authors leave me genuinely laughing and smiling as he does. Better than the second book in my opinion. Seriously worth a read/listen. Ridiculously enjoyable

great writing!

This series has been amazing, and this was another entertaining and varied story with fantastic twists!

Well paced

Fun story with well paced comedic timing, good way to say farewell to the series.

Wow, that ending

…is just perfect. Thank you, Jimmy. Seems like your new experiment is going along nicely.

Tying things up

In more ways than one, this book ties up many things, including elements that I was unsure about in a previous of his novels. It almost feels as though he is tying up elements of his entire career as a writer so far. Very tightly paced, great satire, and just a fun adventure
