Publisher's summary

While light may burn for a moment, the darkness will be there when it dies.

In the aftermath of Moldark's death and Soldark's creation, Magnus, Awen, and the rest of the Gladio Umbra must follow the sinister warlord back through the quantum tunnel into metaspace. Questions swirl around the enemy's ultimate intentions, as do the fates of those bound to serve the malevolent leader.

What awaits the gladias, however, may prove to be more than they can handle. An otherworldly amalgamation of the Paragon's goals and the Luma's powers, Soldark gathers his forces for a final showdown against those who would thwart his plans. He summons both the living and the dead, assured that nothing will be able to stop him from having his day of vengeance.

Will the gladias be able to put a stop to Soldark's relentless rise to power? Or will the galaxy finally fall victim to the greatest destruction ever unleashed on sentient species?

Discover the harrowing end to the critically acclaimed series from Christopher Hopper and USA Today bestselling author J.N. Chaney.

Perfect Omelet

Whew what a journey. The good authors leave you feeling satisfied of reading or listening to a good story. A great author or in this case author Team leaves you in tears at times only to be smiling at the end know that the loss of a character is so much truer to real life then everyone important gets out alive and lives happily ever after.. However did you have to break so many eggs to make this Perfect Omelet? I guess it had to be big enough for everyone to share. OTF

Among my A team of sci fi writers

I don't know how it's done, but Hopper's dialogues at the end reinforce his characters. Well done both of you!

Great book and incredible series

It is rare that i leave reviews and extremely rare that a book moves me. This one did and i had to leave a review. I can't think of any comments to leave that would not be a spoiler so i urge you to listen to the series.

WOW!

I like all of these books very much! this one, this one though kept me on the edge of my seat. It brought me to tears both with relief and in sorrow. That is impressive I am not considered by most to be emotional, but this book out of all of them made me so. Maybe it helped me deal with some of my last splick. Anyway, thank you all very much.
