Publisher's summary

At the gates between worlds. In a war outside of time. They fight for us.

The man they took prisoner was not the Jonathan Tibbs they remembered. He said that time was running out. That the world faced an enemy it could not defeat. He said everything depended on whether or not they could make a leap of faith.

Then, he asked them for five nuclear warheads.

The Never Army is the final installment in The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs - a mind-bending, genre-crossing, multiple award-winning, action-adventure trilogy.

The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs has sold over 50,000 copies worldwide and garnered over 5,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, Audible, and Goodreads.

A complete series!!

I'm so pleased that this author decided to write a trilogy that actually had a satisfactory ending. This is a great example that a series doesn't have to be over 10 books long to be an engaging, fun, thoughtful story that takes the reader through a powerful arc. Absolutely recommended!

Hot dang this was good!

I’m so happy to say that this is the best book in the trilogy performance wise. Barnett you’re amazing, I can’t thank Mr. Hodges enough for making one of the most satisfying conclusions to a trilogy I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting to my ears.

My favorite sci-fi series to date (among many)

I have been disappointed with so many series that after years of waiting for this third (and last, though I didn't know that going in) installment my expectations were very low. I didn't read any reviews or even the publisher summary as there was no way I wasn't going to buy it. My low expectations couldn't have been more misplaced.

This book was like putting on my most comfortable old shoes instead of the shrunken old shirt I used to love. It (not just this book, but the entire trilogy) has every important element for an engaging story. It was a perfectly seamless continuation/conclusion of the story I had already grown to love; great characters, thought provoking storyline with no boring lulls in plot continuation, great humor (without trying too hard), and occasional strong emotional content.

Loved it. No spoilers

The story didn't go the way I expected, it was much better. This is why I'm not an author and T. Ellery is. The narrator gives all the characters distinct voices without being comical, and I didn't feel accents to be overdone. Overall I was very satisfied with the ending to the series, and will surely check out what the author publishes next.

There was a couple (2) of glitches in the audio. One where the volume shifts and another where it skipped a bit (I suspect half a word, but can't confirm as I don't have the physical book).

Great trilogy

If you’ve read book 1 and 2, then 3 was just awesome. Every book was more interesting more exciting more everything! This is the kind of book I can see fleshed out in screen. Really interested in what the writer is up to next!

Well worth purchasing.

Excellent story, told brilliantly.
Will be purchasing a hard copy, as I feel I've cheated the author by only spending 3 credits to experience it.

Brilliant ending, finally!

Finally, after 4 years the trilogy is complete and it is worth it. I enjoyed listening to it, how the story expanded, and added other characters like Jonathan. Great conclusion to the story, I may listen to the whole series again soon.

Great and deserved ending for our cast of heroes

Great story, amazing use of the Never's mechanics and interesting ideas immortals and familial disagreements. Though I wish the ending was a bit more explored. But overll very satisfying.

great series

I enjoyed this whole series. A nice little plot twist at the end. The narrator was just right for the book and its characters.

Epic culmination

Loved the whole series completely. But the way this last book brought the whole thing to such a satisfying end was brilliant. Whilst there weren't many plot twists, the directions taken weren't foreseen and that made it so enjoyable. Narration was spot on also.

What a ride!

Wow! What a thrilling conclusion to a fantastic series. I was hooked from the beginning of the first book and thoroughly enjoyed every word right to the end. The narration is top class too - I really appreciate the extra touches to enhance my experience of certain characters. A funny, thrilling, thought provoking story that is well worth the read. Thank you Mr Ellory. I look forward to your next series eagerly.

Great end to the trilogy

The start is a bit slow with too many prologues, but once the main story starts it is a great book that I highly recommend.
