Story
Space travel just isn't what it used to be. With the invention of quantum teleportation, space heroes aren't needed anymore. When one particularly unlucky ex-adventurer masquerades as famous pilot and hate figure Jacques McKeown, he's sucked into an ever-deepening corporate and political intrigue. Between space pirates, adorable deadly creatures, and a missing fortune in royalties, saving the universe was never this difficult!

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Story
In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn't be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He's awfully grumpy. Plus, he's been dead for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world gone terribly, bizarrely wrong, all Jim wants is to find a way to die properly, once and for all. On his side, he's got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he's up against tough odds....

He is coming
- By Kindle Customer on 2022-03-20
Written by: David Guymer
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?

Easily the funniest book he's written yet.
Yahtzee continues to impress with his signature brand of dry humor and sarcastic tone. This third installment in his extended canon puts a wonderful bow on the entire storyline, and even calls back to some of his earliest works. Truly my favorite book by Yahtzee Croshaw to date.

Called out of retirement one last time!
While the beginning definitely didn’t have the same draw to it that the original entries had. Like a ball rolling down a hill, the momentum it gains is like no other!
The twists and callbacks to all of Yahtzee’s works is amazing and well worth the ride. Interconnected in ways that are staring you in the face, but you won’t pick up on it till it’s already smashed you in the face with a brick!
This was one of my favourite sci-fi series, and while I’m sad to see it go I’m happy it was here. Can’t wait for the replay now that the trilogies completed and to see what comes next from Yahtzee

A good story probably needs an end, but it is still hard to part with Jacques McKeown and those characters that contributed to his life.

A satisfying is somewhat meta conclusion to the Trilogy
This book was a satisfying is somewhat meta conclusion to the Trilogy.
It's full of Yahtzees trademark humor, and goes in some strange but engaging directions.
While Im not onboard with some of the things the author did with this book, he does provide a satisfying conclusion to the main characters story over these 3 books.

Cheeky Callback to a previous series?
Love the performance and story! Also, feels like a character is a direct callback to a different series by Yahtzee. Mogworld for the win!
