Unlike the dominant force on the island he left behind, however, the once-mighty Imperium only controls a single capital city in a rapidly shrinking territory, leaving a group of scheming nobles to bicker among themselves and fight over scraps of land.

What if I told you that heroes lived among us, that a US government agency had grown these super powered children in labs, raising them to be super soldiers? What if the technology got out? What if the tech made it all the way to Asia? You probably wouldn't believe me. You would probably would tell me that I was crazy, or that I was some type of conspiracy theorist, that there was no way that a person could turn themselves invisible, or teleport, or morph into a terrible monster. But you would be dead wrong.

Publisher's Summary
The fifth book in the Feedback Loop series - death, betrayal, new beginnings. This action-packed, sci-fi gamelit fantasy series has it all.
Quantum Hughes and the rest of the Dream Team are in for a serious awakening when tragedy strikes the team. Finding Strata Godsick's son isn't as easy it they originally thought it would be, and real world repercussions seem to put a damper on everything they do. This on top of the fact that they're being hunted in both the Proxima Galaxy and the real world only raises the stakes even higher.
Ultima Thule, a rebirth, a death, a betrayal, a mysterious Reaper - this is the book that turns hunters to hunted, innocent to guilty, friends to enemies, the expected to the unexpected.

Holy hell do Harmon manage to make that smuck, stuck up, arrogant smarmy ***** get under my skin... How Quantum haven't ventilated her repeatedly at this point is beyond me... Anyways, not much to say about this book, the adventures continue, the quality of the writing continues, the quality of the narration continues... In short, if you got this far, what are you waiting for, this is more of the good shit!

A Welcome Return to the Best Audio Series
Its a consistent 5 stars for this series and this is no different with Zany Pop culture references and Bromance galore ,peppered with wit and humour as Quantum and Co attempt to keep one step ahead of Reaper Co. This is the best audio series out so far and i think showcases the best of Jeff Hays talents , if this wasn't so good i would be tempted to take away a star as the audio releases are about as fast as filling our tax returns. Im unashamedly a fan so my usual critque is missing as you either love it or hate it marmite style. I requested this audio and have decided to leave my thoughts.
