Will Leave the Galaxy for Good

Jacques McKeown, Book 3

By: Yahtzee Croshaw

Narrated by: Yahtzee Croshaw

Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's summary

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?

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.

Yahtzee sent me

I started the book rather late at night on the way home from work, 10 hours later the sun has come up and I'm debating attempting to sleep...the metanarrative held my attention too well and I simply could not stop, not even for sleep.

Beyond surprised

I love this series, but until finishing this one, I'd rank it the lowest of his work. Not at all an insult, his books are amazing, being the worst of such a great set is still very complimentary, but this twist was so awesome and built up the whole set, I'm far too pleased by this. But this series, and Mogworld

Restarted Audible just to listen this

I planned on just touching in on it one night and before I knew it I had listened to it all.

Exceptional Performance by the author

Wit and snark raised to an art form. A doink load of fun, perfectly performed, and a joy to listen to.

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.
