“The Fall” is the 5th of 6th serialized parts of the Karma Police series written by Sean Platt and David Wright. Platt & Wright are a writing partnership primarily known for writing and publishing science fiction, paranormal, x-files style stories in a serialized format. Their other series include “White Space”, “Available Darkness”, and their most-biggest and most success, “Yesterday’s Gone”, a post-apocalyptic science fiction invasion adventure. Also, most of their work is primarily found in electronic format. For me, I have all of their books and short stories on my Kindle and have been reading them for the last few years.
The first three parts of the Karma Police series were published in the early part of 2016, and now over a year later the 4th, 5th, and 6th are being published this summer. Each published part is not really a book, as much as a 90 to 100-page novella length portion of the overall story. “The Fall” is the penultimate part where the truth about Ella - a Traveler, who every day wakes up in a new body of someone else without any memory of her true identity while being hunted by what appears to be a police team from the future trying to kill her – is revealed.
The mystery of Ella’s identity and background is complex, full of government conspiracy, mutant X-Men type of drama, along with moments of serious heartbreak. Pratt & Wright have proven their ability to use the serialized format to tell edgy stories with interesting characters. However, in this case, I found the big reveal to be a little soft in delivery. The build-up advertised more of a climactic disclosure than what was provided. For me the reasons for feeling that way are twofold. One problem is having to wait so long for the last three parts to be published that there is lost continuity and memory regarding the details of the story and character relationships. The other problem is that the big reveal is not as dramatic as the build-up led up to. After finding out Ella’s identity and history, it seems like most of the major plot movement occurs in Parts #4 and #5, making Parts #1 - #3 less important to the overall arc of the story. At least that’s how it feels to me.
Overall, a good and enjoyable read, but not a great one. We’ll see if this feeling changes when I read the final part next month and see how the story wraps up.

As we near the end of the series (to be honest, it's more like a book split into six parts...), Karma Police is only getting more interesting! I'm hooked and can't wait to read the ending.

I NEED the next book NOW!
I love this series! The last 3 books (3,4,5) just started screaming toward the conclusion....picking up speed, pumping adrenaline.... I'm on the edge of my seat....DYING for the last book!! I devoured these books in 2 days! I love it because it's different, but intriguing and suspenseful, with awesome 3 dimensional characters....even those not central to the overall story, STILL have their OWN story, and they all just suck the reader right in!
