The Rift 3

The Rift, Book 3

By: Douglas E. Richards, Joshua T. Calvert

Narrated by: Adam James Conner

James, Hannah, and Wolf face their greatest challenge yet in the pulse-pounding conclusion to The Rift trilogy.

Finally reunited on an advanced, alternate Earth where the mighty Roman Empire never died, James, Hannah, and Wolf now stand at the precipice of an interdimensional war threatening to obliterate everything they've fought to protect. As the fabric of existence continues to unravel, unleashing anomalous storms and creating rifts large enough for unstoppable warships to traverse, the trio must find a way to repel a superior force bent on conquest.

Impossible, yes, but also just the beginning of their problems. Because they're in a battle for their very lives. And if the tears in the fabric of reality aren't completely mended, both worlds will ultimately fall, regardless of which side is victorious.

The explosive conclusion to The Rift trilogy delivers a relentless thrill ride packed with mind-bending twists and heart-pounding action, and a question that echoes through the chaos: can a trio of extraordinary individuals survive and defy all odds, or will two worlds be condemned to oblivion?

Just when you thought the story couldn't get more riveting, Richards and Calvert dazzle, saving their best for last.

The best of the three parts

Although I miss Douglas’ normal analysis of near tech, this collaboration made a fun study on the different ways our history could have played out. It would be fun to explore how these two worlds could in the future find common ground to work together.

Pulsating

I liked the characters and the fact that they were bigger than life, while maintaining their humanity. I liked the fact that there were some light moments but there could have been more. Very serious consequences were portrayed. I didn’t like that. Great epic journey though scenarios and possibilities with lots of great tech and historical branching.

Excellent

All three parts kept me listening from start to finish. Well read with good character voices. Interesting concept of different direction humanity could / life can go from different outcomes.

Meh

I did not really enjoy this book. The story was not that creative. I kept thinking I have heard this before

Disappointing and slow moving

Big let down by Doughlas E Richards. Not his typical style. Probably too much influence by the co-author,
