Publisher's Summary

A predator hunts the skies over Earth. Its intent is peaceful, and its mission is essential, but it is the deadliest machine humanity has ever created.

Piloted by a six-year-old girl, the godlike Skalm guards the Districts of TASC. Her family is long dead. Her adopted father is a synthetic copy of an alien, her nanny an artificial mind connected via subspace to every part of the globe, feeding the young girl information, finding prey to satiate her growing thirst.

But the young girl is an innocent, a victim, one of millions the war has already claimed. Her innocence has been sacrificed by a man with singular purpose: a man who will stop at nothing in order to prepare Earth for the coming conflict.

The armada is approaching, its far-off engines now bright as stars in the night sky. They mean to kill us. They have the power to do so. And as oblivion's maw opens up to engulf us, we brace ourselves for battle.

We will fight to the last. Live or die, we will leave a scar upon our attackers that will last an age, even if we ourselves do not.

disappointed

1st 2 books in series were good but this one not so much. I struggled to finish too bad as the story line started out good.

Bad Ending

RC Does an amazing job as always however even he can't save the author from themselves.

*******past here are spoilers don't read unless you are wanting to know more*******

Okay the author does an excellent job with writing but their plot for this third book sucks. Neil and Ayala are over thrown for being... wait for it... evil.
1) Controlling some world leaders. The first two books do a step by step on how diplomacy doesn't work. Example A - The Russian war. Years get wasted while government twiddle their thumbs and hand wring what to do. Example B - The Chinese. Once again government wanted to leave the other agent in control instead of making the hard choice. Humanity is on a clock and much like real life government does its best to make zero progress. They bypass these stalemate not for personal gain or wealth... but to save Humanity from itself. Example C - Iran Jim wanted to cry because.... he might... have gotten through to them. Yes because we all have time to wait for them to get on the bus. To think these characters have the gonads to ride in on their high horse and judge the two people who are saving everything is preposterous.
2) Child warfare. The evidence was in, they needed better pilots and the world once again was going to hand wringe on it. So Neil does what has to be done to save them. Does it suck... certainly, but is it necessary? Abso****inglotely. Example D - End of war who are the best pilots that they still use to protect the world? Neil's Dr. Frankenstein group. Do they refuse to use them on the same grounds of their high horse... Nope. It was easy, they needed them, and in the end they took advantage of the very thing they said was a moral outrage.

I found the last book hard to digest. The author wanted a plot twist and somehow thought that this was it. Humanity would win by moral virtue. Well it failed, they were short Skalms, and not enough amazing pilots. Which were exactly the things they intervened on because of their misplaced morals. I would have preferred Humanity get wiped out on Earth in the last book based upon their (Jim and his faction) dumb choices. Neil and Ayala did everything and sacrificed everything to save everyone else, not to get rich, or to be warlords. I loathe the ending that the world basically survived by accident. Let humanity die on Earth and go off into the sunset like the Cylons, come back someday to repay the Mobili or just die off. The whole moral road was a wasted idea.

Excellent series, a little disappointed how it end

I think there were a few items which happened and I wasn't happy (not creating any spoiler alerts) but some of them I thought took away from the overall experience. Some focus was placed in some areas and they just went away, no follow up. I still loved the series, but i felt the ending was weak.

Amazing but a bit too spread out

This book is amazing and even better because Mr.Bray is reading it. the only issue I have is these three books could have easily been made into six books with more detail. Too many details were left out that it felt a bit rushed.

Brilliant! Inventive. Surprising.

Everything in this trilogy is well done: the plot, the characters, the twists, the sci-fi, the language. The first three chapters are a bit slow. Keep going, because this is NOT your usual story about yet another nerd with no social skills who stumbles onto aliens, battles to save the Earth. This story takes off and surprises, as does the nerd, his allies, and the enemy.

A wonderful series!

It’s rare to find a trilogy that keeps getting better with each book, especially when the first book is already excellent. You won’t go wrong with this listen.

All the reviews that say this 3rd instalment is the weakest are true, this story doesn’t compare to the first 2 books.

It was a 5 month slog just to get through this last book. So much potential from the first two that fizzles out with a whimper in book 3.
