Publisher's Summary

The Forge is coming back online, weapons hot and searching known space for signs of the Golden.

When Dash and Leira repair a powerful scanner, it finds something unusual in a distant system - the remains of an ancient battlefield. Custodian tells of a fight lost long ago, leaving drifting debris around the faraway star.

But the battlefield isn't forgotten. A human colony has taken hold nearby, and on their world, a single, massive ship has crashed.

And it is sending out a signal.

In a race against the enemy, Dash and his team will try to salvage the secrets of a Golden ship, warn the colony of the oncoming war, and brace for impact as more enemies streak across the stars to hunt down the one person who can stop them.

The Messenger.

It's Fine

Nothing special. Same story lines you see everywhere. Super advanced machines that wipe out all advanced life every 200k years because that's what they were programed to do. Hot shot smuggler/courier with roguish charm finds uber mech from the good aliens that fought the bad machines from the last cylce.

Honestly, my biggest issue with the series isn't the repetition of the same stories I've heard a dozen times before, it's that the characters make worse choices for no reason.

Like, let's leave the super god mech behind and go on foot! And, ugh swords are so much worse than guns they're stupid, oh no my guns don't work, oh no the only way to fight the bad mech is melee... GUESS I'LL PUNCH IT because apparently a sword that can cut through anything is not only worse than guns, it's also worse than fists. Or my favourite: we have to keep the coming war a secret because if people know it will endanger them... even though they're already in danger and will be targeted for extinction. Like, the danger level won't change to these people at all, in the slightest by not telling them. Instead they're just deprived of something they've got the right to know and the chance to prepare themselves, regardless of the how unlikely that is to help them.

Narrator was fantastic as always. And as the title says, it's, you know, fine. I'll probably get around to finishing it eventually. But it's the kind of story I don't bother backtracking through if I doze off.

Also, the length isn't worth a credit or the $30 it's asking for.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
