Publisher's Summary

The Deliverance has arrived.

The planet is beautiful, lush, teeming with life and perfectly suited to the colony’s needs. It should be a paradise.

Instead, it’s a nightmare.

Caleb knows the truth. The ship’s real mission has nothing to do with settlement. The plan is much more sinister than that.

Now the race is on to prepare for the coming storm, to secure the colony, and find the enemy before the enemy finds them.

But when fear leads to a desperate betrayal, will it be the innocent who pay the ultimate price?

Good simple story

Not a bad series. Simple, no major twists, but a few hood turns to the plot, its a bug hunt. This final book brought the series to a good conclusion.

Not bad, not great, terrible ending

The ending just happens. No real closure, no real climax.

He could’ve ended it just as easily at the end of book two , halfway through book two, halfway through book one pretty much anywhere, it couldn’t have been much worse.

Great pacing marred by one note dialogue and characters

I’ll bet the author has worn out the keys used to type “lying bitch”. All the females are curvy and most fall in love with the mc. And the seemingly only black character can’t talk, but doesn’t use sign language either, and his speech can’t be healed even though all kinds of other injuries can, and is limited to “flashing his thumb” constantly while being a tank character with no backstory whatsoever through two books. While that’s normally a dealbreaker, the pacing and the battle descriptions keep me going, at least for the books free with membership.

disappointed

so much potential with book 1 and 2 actually being good. nr 3 is just a giant plot hole.
