When David told me this was ready to be proofread, I was so, so excited! Get ready for a thrilling third installment to the Resurrection trilogy! We see elements from David's other books here tying the Dark Corner Literary Universe together - doorways, aliens, the supernatural, unethical military experimentation, insane individuals, and of course, character deaths... but also the bonds between unlikely friends and family even when linear time wouldn't normally allow it. Exciting, emotional, and satisying in it's conclusion, I can't wait to see some of these characters again in The Darkest Corner and Wealdstone: Awakening when they come out!

Wow… I did not expect that! Having read the previous two, my thoughts had turned to a plucky band of survivors taking down the evil, universe spanning empire in a Return of the Jedi fashion. Nope. Complete left turn straight out of the gate, and the entire cast utilise some of David’s previously established dimensional gateways to head back in time and stop the whole shebang before it started. There’s only one word for that approach: masterful. Time travel is tricky. Do you take the multiverse approach? Or the erase the future timeline from Back to the Future route? Or a mix? David has tracked one set of characters with the approach of “It’s their future regardless of how it all works, so they have to deal with that”. With the circuitous and complicated path required to navigate the dimension gateways, David has imaginatively avoided the conundrum of how to stop them simply travelling through time again and again until they get it right. There are some stand out scenes that made me smile in appreciation in this book. All three weave into the overall fabric of David’s universe, pulling together threads I didn’t even know were loose. I was already a fan of his writing before, but now I’m an eager fan, waiting for the next in the Horizon series so I can dive back into another of his timelines.

Was this where I thought this trilogy was going to go? No.
Did I enjoy it anyway? Absolutely.
The first two books are much more space opera sci-fi, this book masterfully weaves in time travel to save all - well, maybe not all...

It is impossible to give this author anything less than 5 stars.
Yet again he has knocked it out of the park with the 2nd in the resurrection trilogy.

Brilliant story..love his books. So without revealing too much, everything in the galaxy is dead or dying. The only way to save the future is to mend the past...what caused it and how to fix it ? You will have to read the story to find out. I loved the story and the characters. None of them are perfect and it's just these qualities that make the story so good. You will need to get your own copy to find out what's next
