The Final Days of the White Flower II #3
Chain Unbroken
Nothing will ever be the same again.
Having successfully averted a mutiny and the near-discovery of the Exit Plan, the White Flower II's new captain is now in charge of fulfilling that plan to its end, and there's only a little more than a month to prepare. But there's a problem—Tesko doesn't want to deliver the terraformer to the pirates as agreed. She wants it for the geroo, and she will not take no for an answer. But it's not as simple as kicking the pirates out, as both crews need each other. For now.
The mistrust between the crews of the White Flower II and the Jet Black Sword are at an all-time high. Everyone, geroo and ringel alike, know that a war is coming. They smile at each other while holding daggers behind their backs. If that wasn't bad enough, there's still the Geordian Guard to deal with, as well as Commissioner Pokokuro who has this time come prepared. And what's worse... Subcommander Gert is still in love with the ringel.
Now begins the slow, inexorable countdown to the end of everything they know. Is it a new beginning—or is it the geroos' last gasp of hope?
Chain Unbroken is the final entry in the epic heist that will redirect the fate of an entire species. Have faith and courage, because in the end, the only ones we can rely on are each other.

In one word: FANTASTIC. Ok, ok, there are a couple of scenes here and there that could've been snipped without ruining the pacing, but nah!: Again, a super job of characterization, the perfect sense of the impeding disaster behind every corner, the atmosphere of paranoia, how every side is vividly portrayed in this game of smokes and mirrors. And the grand finale...AHHH, action-packed, fluid without being certain of the outcome until the very last.
This is the end of the WFII Trilogy, but not of the Hayven Celestia universe, which keeps growing and has a lot more room for many awesome stories to tell. But for sure, thank you Rick Griffin -it's been quite a while since having such good Sci-fi (without humans!)

A Mighty Fine Finish!
Seeing this series from start to finish - including the original short story - has been a wonderful journey. I could barely put it down once it kicked into gear, and the layering of conflict and sincere, empathy-driven character-writing kept me reading well into the night! My only real gripe is that I wish the epilogue was a bit longer and meatier — but that's mostly because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters.
Congratulations on completing this excellent tale, and can't wait to see what comes next!

Good ending, maybe too packed with stuff and rushed, I would have liked to know a bit more about Tesko's ending because I think it lacked a bit towards the end.
Really nice trilogy overall, glad to have this on print.
