Truth Engine
MACHINE OF DESTINY
Earth's darkest days have given way to a new age of war. Launched by an ancient and powerful alien race, the battle has morphed through an aeons-old blueprint for domination. But with it has emerged a resilient group of freedom fighters, true avatars of humanity's fortitude and courage. Now, as mankind's arrogant oppressors engage in their own bitter infighting, they may doom the planet in their personal fires of hatred.
APOCALYPTIC DAMNATION
Cerberus Redoubt, the rebel base of operations, has fallen under attack. The enemy at the gates is Ullikummis, a scion born of hate, a pawn of his powerful father's game of ultimate manipulation. Kane and the others are his prisoners, losing their free will through his unbreakable mind control. The stone god demands Kane lead his advancing armies as he retakes Earth in the ultimate act of revenge. Ullikummis understands that truth--human or alien--is malleable. And that he will be the ultimate god of the machine, infinite and unstoppable.

A real game changer book that deconstructs the formula of the series and sets up something more dangerous in its place. It's hard to talk about this book without spoiling the surprises but suffice to say that all the regular characters face their darkest hour, and no one is left unchanged. Action packed but smart too. A satisfying conclusion to a storyline which has been developing since "Infinity Breach". Probably James Axler's best yet.
