The Battle for Blackwater is a stellar ending to The Chronicles of James Casper. Is there room for more adventure in the future? Yes, of course. However, with the fourth book in the series, many of the unanswered questions are resolved, and we observe various people grow "more so" in whatever particular bent they had.
James faces a couple of different people from his past, and as he does, he learns more about himself as well as the other along the way. Forgiveness, trust, broken promises, ownership of wrong doing... it's all in there. I was sad to see the series end, and really hope that Sullivan Stone will write some more adventures for James and company.
I received an ARC; this is my honest review.

This story was well written and interesting, but although it was described as 'electrifying' I did not feel that it ever reached that level of tension or excitement.
