Slip Runner #9
Cosmic Horizon
The End is Nigh.
Noth, humanity's greatest threat, has awoken and he's out for blood. So is Cole and his merry crew of misfits. They have the means to get it, too. Sort of. Their weapon might not be fully functional, but it just needs a power boost. How hard can it be?
Pretty freaking hard, as it turns out.
Especially when their enemies will do anything to stop them. When someone close to the crew is murdered and Cole is framed for the deed, things only get more complicated. Under the circumstances, that problem should be put on the backburner, but nothing is ever as it seems.
Cole will always be a Renegade.
He aims to save the galaxy, even if it means dying.
Again.
Both sides are vying for victory. Both have everything to lose. In a war between mortals and gods, who will come out on top?
Join Cole and his friends on their last journey in the Slip Runner series to find out.

so this is the end for slip runner portion.
Aw man, it says this is the end of the slip runner portion but there’s still a future for Renegades. I’m hoping that means more still to come.
This series has really been a good one: great characters, wonderful humor and bantering between those characters, plus really well thought out scenes and storyline. I definitely want to read more of their adventures & see what the future looks like as things change for the team. Isn’t it sad when good people are sacrificed to save the masses or when one chooses to sacrifice to say even one other person. Brave and honorable but still sad that it’s even necessary. I wish the true reality of our human lives wasn’t fraught with evil and not just in fictional books. But thank goodness we still have our real live heroes in our daily lives, doing heroic things from the most mundane items to the scary, and just like our authors depict in this series, real live heroes come from all walks of life. God bless them and god bless our authors for great stories and hopefully inspiring people by showing us what honor, courage, teamwork and creative planning can accomplish.

Not sure what happened, but i found this book to be tedious and boring. Parts os it were OK, but overall i found myself just wanting the book to end. I even skipped a few chapters towards the middle, as meaningless drama unfolded. The main issue with this and the previous two books was the authors wanting to tell a grand tale, but limiting to just three final books. This forced them to rush through scenes, and skip over details that mattered, like glossing over the Precursor stations and artifacts.
This last book also suffered from the authors wanting to close out all the plot holes. So much was made of the big baddie and the ultimate weapon, and so much was left out there, that when all was said and done, the galactic threat was neutralized in two simple sentences, and onto dealing with the Commander, a normal sidekick. This is likely a result of not wanting to recreate the last battle between Riker and Noth, and having read like the ending of the Fearsome Foursome, (points for Fart Monster) as they rightly made fun of it in character dialogue How do you write about a baddie capable of eating inter-dimensional worm hole? Well you don't, you simply kill them off screen like these authors did, even after hyping the confrontation for three books.
It's becoming apparent that the Renegade series was a one-off and these add-on series are not worth the investment. Shame.

At last
One of the poorer books in the series and unfortunately the end of this storyline, so not a great ending
The book wanders, a lot of it is just Ryker waffling, other times it fast and direct
90% of the book is the team struggling to achieve anything, 2 steps forward, 2 steps back and the last 10% seems to be a rush to the finish.
No real surprises, not even the last 2 or 3 pages were

Great Story
I really enjoyed this series. Incorporating the Renegade universe helped anchor the storyline and some old characters with the new. It gave the series an established universe that was built on and expanded to give the readers a truly new experience with challenges facing new aliens and foes. You’ll experience the excitement, thrills, disappointments, betrayals, friendships, loves and much more reading this series.

excellent series
Such a long and convoluted course this story took but in the end The Renegade, Jace and everyone else including Camilla did great, saved the world and universe . Enjoy the whole kit and caboodle I did, SO MUCH!

Another outstanding story
What a happy ending! Finally....
As usual, the authors put together a story that was so interesting that I couldn't put the book down. This is the last book in the series. I would recommend these books to a friend.

wonderful!!
A perfect ending to a great story. Let’s say it was extremely satisfying for the good and bad guys! I’ll take that anytime in a book series. Can’t wait for the next story in the renegade universe!

Amazing Series!
The character growth and development was impressive. I'm not sure I can stop thinking about these characters and what is next for them. Each book of the series had a new world well fleshed out.
Readers need to start with book 1.

Slip Runner series.
Awesome story line, fleshed out characters, how can you go wrong. Great ending too. Wish it were longer. Thanks for the ride.

Superb story telling, engaging premise and well developed characters. I may need to reread this series as all the books are now available

Would have been better if somethings happened on stage rather than off.

I’ve enjoyed this series for a simple escape, but ah well. Nothing’s perfect, but even this is better than what’s on Netflix

didn't quite deliver the ending
After following the whole journey about the battle with Noth, it was glossed over in a few lines, whilst the main story focussed on the battle with the commander. After 8 previous great books this one felt a little rushed or just didn't quite get there for me, which is a real shame.
