About the author
Hugh Howey
151 books57.6k followersI'm the author of WOOL, a top 5 science fiction book on Amazon. I also wrote the Molly Fyde saga, a tale of a teenager from the 25th century who is repeatedly told that girls can't do certain things -- and then does them anyway.
A theme in my books is the celebration of overcoming odds and of not allowing the cruelty of the universe to change who you are in the process. Most of them are classified as science fiction, since they often take place in the future, but if you love great stories and memorable characters, you'll dig what you find here. I promise.

The space odyssey continues, only this time Molly and Cole are split up, with Cole in Hyperspace.
This book was weird for me. I didn't like the split very much. There is a plot line in the background with Walter that's unnerving and not resolved during this book. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I didn't like the Molly part very much. In this book she was always constantly at the edge of dying or something. No reprieve. The pacing was torturous for me in that way. I had to put it down a couple times and come back a couple days later just to recover.
The Hyperspace parts with Cole, however, were totally awesome. As good as the adventures on Drendard in the previous book. Just excellent. Every aspect of it, except the part with Riggs which seemed unnecessary and didn't add anything, even to Cole's character development.

Shockingly bad compared to the first books. Just one overly long, boring, pointless, obvious-ending fight after another.

This one killed me. The suspense was awful. I read it all the way through just to see how it would end and I was still left hanging. Naturally, I will be buying the next one very shortly after reviewing this. Molly Fyde has become one of my favorite series.
I struggled through this book more than the other two just because it upset me how many obstacles Molly and Cole had to go through. It is the middle book, so I guess I understand the need for the connection to the end and maybe there is a reason for all of the different issues the characters had to work out that will be cleared up after reading the next book. I just felt like every chapter kept me hanging and somethings were never explained, but I suppose I should be patient and find out what happens next.
As always, Hugh is my favorite. Molly rocks & I can't put these books down.

Take this whole paragraph as both review and content warning. I don't understand what happened between books 1 and 2 of the Bern saga, so full of fun, and The Blood of Billions which in its very title reveals a dramatic shift to the dark. Of course, even in earlier books, the heroes are flung from adventure to adventure where life hangs in the balance, and particularly come to mind as heavy subjects for younger readers, but these are handled somewhat remotely, the gore happens off-screen, and although Howey masterfully handled the respective characters dealing with their grief, shock, and remorse from the trauma, the narrative overall remains light, and the details are not lingered over. Contrast that with The Blood of Billions: the entire sequence of was so graphic and dark that I couldn't even really look at the page and I skimmed most of the passage.
If this was an adult fiction novel, I would give it a content warning and move on, but having to picture seventeen year olds go through this (and perpetrate this) was jarring and unwelcome from a YA novel. Howey, did you forget your target audience? I was so excited to get these books for my niece and nephew but now I hesitate knowing they'll be coming to this graphic display in the middle of a third installation. It's such a shame when this book overall is creative, imaginative, and clever. Did you have to go there?

This book took the series in a much darker (and weirdly psychedelic) direction which I did not enjoy. The previous books have had some of it, but here we've gone all Philip Pullman, borrowing elements of the Subtle Knife.

(same review for all 4 books in series) This is sci fi adventure that doesn't require serious concentration in order to enjoy. The characters are interesting, if mostly one dimensional. Some of the themes are derivative and I found myself thinking "This sounds like Terminator, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, etc." Beach read, suitable for teens as well.

Molly Fyde and the Blood of Billions(The Bern Saga Book 3) by Hugh Howey
When I choose a book I don't choose by cover- although the covers sometimes are pretty to the eye. I rarely choose by the blurb or any small amount torn out for advertisement purposes. I chose often by reading whatever samples I can get. Usually while in a book store I can get as many pages in as I have time to loiter. On line I can get what they offer. I detest when they drop pages from that sample-I've no idea what that accomplishes. That's equivalent to scanning the book, so whatever first pages they give me are all I take and I stop at the first break. Thankfully this book offered a fair amount of contiguous storyline.
I've lately gotten into reading the reviews first- particularly the low star ones. Those are generally short and never sweet and sometimes I get a good laugh. On occasion they do make me pause and with this book there were two items that stood out. One was that there was a lot of gratuitous violence. The other is that it seemed like a different writer wrote this book.
If the first two books had not been so flaming good I might have paused before spending more hard earned money for the last two. But, through reading the sample I was at least assured that it had to have been the same author.(Not that I had that much doubt.) That's all the assurance I needed. The problem with a majority of the objections to there being too much gratuitous violence was that it was preceded by or followed by the line 'I scanned through those sections'.
When an author puts overt violence into the story it takes most people from their comfort zone and I can understand that much. The biggest difficulty in edging comfort zones is that this practice lends itself to scanning. Scanning ruins a book. Whether you are bored or upset or maybe even lost, scanning opens the door for the next comment: The flow of the book was all over the place and hard to follow. Well, yeah, you've been scanning again. If you scan and don't correct the problem you will likely have trouble following the plot. I'll touch on the gratuitous violence later.
This book is by far the hardest to read of the three. There are those scenes which might jar some or even all. And there is a lot of Speculative Science in here pertaining to the beginning and the end of the universe, not to mention the shape and other characteristics. There are a huge number of stumbling blocks for any and all readers. One of my meters as to rough content is, if it gets bad enough that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth I won't finish it.
And if it gets on a bit much expository with the geeky science stuff I'll know when I reach the end of the page and look at the last sentence with no recall of what is on the rest of the page. (Then I have to go back and actually read it.)
With The Blood of Billions I'm happy to say that neither of those happened. There were moments when I began to wonder while in hyperspace, if this might be gratuitous violence. Gore for the sake of shock value. After having read the first two novels I was willing to forge ahead and give Hugh reasonable doubt. I was not disappointed.
Molly Fyde is, in my opinion, a familiar yet unique character. She's familiar in that she is strong willed and independent and sometimes focused while living a world that has suppressed her to perhaps a 70's or 80's woman. A woman who wants her independence but wants that man to lean on. That man is Cole but in this story Cole is way off the map clear into hyperspace, in fact, and basically lost. The good news is he's in the same place that Molly's father is and so there's a chance for him to meet her dad.
Edison and Anlyn are on a mission for the Drenard that takes them to the rift where they defend against the Bern incursion. Things are not going well and soon they will find themselves on the other side of the rift trying to act as ambassadors while the rest of the Drenards have begun an invasion of human space. It may prove that the Bern are a bit absent also.
Molly has returned to her home world, the world of her birth and like many of the backwater planets in these stories this is out the back and yonder somewhere. Molly is Molly and we've already established that she's her own worst enemy. (Sometimes Molly's actions are just downright frustrating.)Thankfully she has her mother the ship and Walter to look after her. But, this is voting time Lok and the pollsters are about to bleed Molly dry. Walter seems to be less help to her than the Wadi that she's befriended. And she's naively walking into danger once again. Although she knows this she doesn't seem to be able to control herself.
Also it may be that Walter is the reason that Cole is way off into Hyperspace.
Molly's only regret, sometimes, seems to be that she doesn't have Cole to lean on while she endangers herself and everyone around her.
She is getting better though. And as usual she seems to always come up with a plan that in the end saves more lives than not.
There are some rough spots and so there should be caution about reading this novel. The first is in Hyperspace with Cole and his friend Riggs. There are some bad graphic scenes, but I think these were meant to affect Coles character in a specific way and it also leads to some awesome upgrades for Cole. These upgrades remind me of the last few steam-punk novels I've read. Unfortunately dismemberment is involved in qualifying for these upgrades. Cole also gets to be elevated to a high position of importance as a character in this novel. Whether that will hold true we shall see, but it seems more likely as certain sights of the seer prove out.
Every time I think I know where this story is headed I get derailed.
There are some grisly things ahead for Molly-perhaps its to cure her of her Molly-anna attitude. Mild optimism peppered in moments of uncertainty punctuated by careless moments of walking into trouble.
And there is the crash of many star-ships onto a planet and the description of the rescue mission. All of which entail most of the violence and gore in the story. I think that they are all well intended have a purpose and are also well paced so they are not stacked one on the other. Unless one starts skimming and then the lines start to blur and it could seem like there's a book full of gore.
Not for the faint of heart this SF Military Speculative Universe is great for those who like the SF-Military Political novels. Scan this novel at your own risk.
Speed reading is fine though. I don't do speed read that well so it takes me a bit longer to read this type of novel. All told it is well worth reading.

3.5 stars. The story was good but it was easy to put down unlike other Howey novels. I found Cole's story to be confusing at around the 50% mark when he was making his escape and there were a few instances in both Cole's and Molly's story lines where they left off in one place and came back in another. I found myself wondering if I had missed something or somehow skipped ahead. The Admiral's character did not ring true to me and I could not set that feeling aside for the rest of the book. "Too much too soon", I don't buy his willingness to believe. I believe the hyphenated words are in the process of being fixed which should resolve that distraction soon.
I enjoyed learning more about Molly's Wadi, the Anlyn and Edison relationship is awesome and that pain in the ass Walter is always fun to read about. I also liked the Redhead, wondering who the Bern Seer might be and finally learning what the fuel is made of.
I think this story is worthwhile to read as it's the gateway to the conclusion and the story was interesting enough to compel me to read on even with the issues listed above.

I would give this overall more of a 3.5 stars if I could, but since I'm confined to whole numbers, I'll go with a 4. Overall, I am still pulled into the series and anxious to know how it ends (lots of things very up in the air as of the end), but there were quite a few spots in this one (as opposed to #1 and #2 of the series) where I felt pretty lost. Almost like I had maybe accidentally looked away and left my finger on my Kindle and accidentally fast-forwarded a bunch of pages and missed some stuff. But I hadn't. I get that some of it is supposed to be purposely confusing as we are exposed to pieces of the puzzle little by little (and admittedly, time stuff always messes with my head), so I'm not taking off much for that, since it may have been just me. But overall, looking forward to seeing how Hugh wraps it up and plan to get to work on #4 and read it this weekend. :)

Ah...Molly Fyde should be the YA hero of the year...This series is so much more interesting than vampires and zombies. She portrays a strong independent young woman with values, and I love that. The entire series is well written, with action that keeps the pages turning. I could never find a stopping point! And the supporting characters are all fully fleshed out and credible, and I had strong feelings about each of them! (Dang Walter!) I loved the Wool series so I was familiar with Hugh's writing, but he switched to this new world effortlessly!
I'd highly recommend this series to anyone, young adult or "old" adult! Thank you so much! tn

This is mostly three stars, but two stars for a particular issue: the crew of the Parsona are separated for the entire book and the 3rd person limited narration changes each chapter. I have been reading a lot of those types of YA books lately (Ridley Pearson especially) and I'm a little impatient with the mechanic. If it weren't for that - the ensemble cast and shifting narrations - I would have liked this better. The characters continue to grow and develop, being tested to the edges of their abilities and moral codes.
December 8, 2015
This 3rd instalment was not as riveting as the first two books, perhaps because the 3 main characters were never together but each had their own separate storyline.
I got slightly lost in all the space talk (especially during the first part of the book) but really enjoyed the elaboration about the Wadi, where fusion fuel comes from and what (where) hyperspace is.
Eventhough this one was a little bit of a let-down I will still read the last instalment in this series as Hugh Howey has a way of capturing my imagination like very few other authors I have read.

1. Get into a dilly of a pickle.
2. Comment as to the hopelessness of said pickle.
3. Something improbable happens.
4. We're off to our next pickle!
...but in a captivating way, apparently, since I'm always waiting to find out what happens next.

I simply devoured this instalment in Hugh Howey's Bern Saga. I'm so glad I stuck with it. I had some doubts on the first novel, but I'm left with the sense that Howey hit his stride while writing this work. I couldn't put it down. It felt much more serious than the first tale of Molly Fyde, much more reminiscent of the Silo series that made him famous and introduce me to his work.
You really have to hand it to Howie. He clearly has an incredible imagination. Admittedly at times, this borders more on fantasy than science fiction - it's more Star Wars than Star Trek if you will - but it's definitely very enjoyable.
I will just warn that there are some horrifically violent scenes. I wasn't quite ready for it and it took me by surprise. I think he deserves credit for the writing, as my stomach turned, but it may be something that some readers will want to avoid.
Other than that one small warning, I can't recommend this series from Howey enough.

Magnificent
I have now read thousands of pages by Hugh Howey. He is brilliant. I just recently fell back into Science Fiction. I’m glad I found him. This treasure is filled with philosophy and discussion of the human (and alien) condition. There may be far too many far fetched conflicts (from inter galactic and hand to hand) and so a deep open mindedness is required. It kept me going, a page turner.

Again love the author, and am going to stick with the series to the end but this series comes up short. I think the author does best when working on stories one book section at a time. This story feels drawn out, the characters are flat, and the plot is all over the place. With the characters split, this feels more like a DnD campaign gone wrong then a coherent story.

Really, really, REALLY awesome book/series! In this one I actually got so mad a Cole that I had to quit reading until I could calm down. I had to tell myself to give him the benefit of the doubt, etc... talk about good writing to have involved me so thoroughly in the lives of the characters!

3rd book better!
A much better novel than the first two in the series, and I’m glad I stuck with it. Better plot, better writing in general. I finally felt that this is the same person who wrote WOOL.

Another excellent story. But it was a struggle to finish because it was so macabre. This is the first Howey book I've read that went there. So, readers beware! Prepare yourself for a bloodbath.

Straightforward good sci fi
Hugh usually has some excellent lines spaced thorought careful plotting. It's like walking through someone's house and finding it a pleasant house but theirs little bowls of delicious candy every few rooms. It's nice in two ways.

This book is definitely a bridge to the last book in the series. Molly and Crew once again are chased and captured chasing captured. So many questions are left hanging a few more are answered. And for some reason all the characters say "do what?" now like they're from Alabama.
February 11, 2024
The 3rd in the series is the best yet. Highly recommended. My only complaint is the audiobook narrator - she simply cannot do voices very well. Her interpretation of Cole is absolutely atrocious and is very distracting.

every book in the series gets better - a rare find for an avid lover of all non-fiction
Two thumbs up. The plot continues to evolve with the characters in a way that’s not easily duplicated. Highly recommend

a bit darker and more mature than the previous books
Since this is a young adult series, I guess I would like to know that there’s more violence in and more mature content in the sense of right and wrong and good and evil Looking forward to the next book

A little shocked...
I'm a fan of Hugh Howey's novels and was excited to read another series. It was going along fairly well until the third book. There was rather abrupt violence and brutality which was very shocking. It was an effective tool, but rather disconcerting for me as a reader - probably due to the sudden shift in the storytelling. That kind of descriptive violence isn't usually my cup of tea, which is the reason for just 3 stars. Once it started, it never really stopped.

Loved it!
I am going to download the next book in this series now. It is very hard not to put down.
