General Shaylo is done strategizing. He's ready to destroy mankind. But first he must take out the handful of super humans who defeated the first wave. They're a formidable foe, but Shaylo is driven by personal vengeance and the knowledge that he has never been beaten. When the enhanced humans prove to be too much for his troops to handle, Shaylo, the mightiest Grey who has ever lived is forced to don his legendary armored suit and take the battle to them personally. Jack's powers have grown exponentially. He has no control over them as they whisk him through space against his will. But as his powers grow, his humanity withers away. Can he do the right thing when the time comes? With help from the two super soldiers, can he save the Earth a second time from an unstoppable force or has he finally met his match? Third and final installment in the Apex trilogy.
Once again the exact same comments I made for the previous two volumes apply to this one - as these were short books why the hell could they not have been one reasonably long one? This book gets a little more philosophical but in essence it the the concluding section to the other two - even more in this case as it just continues on from #2 as if the book had been ripped in two. Readable but not special
I loved the series. I honestly feel like if Mr. Moon wanted to write more in this series he could. I will admit that I got this third book as a gift from the author when I noticed a misspelling in the second book. But that didn't change my love of the book. As the series progressed, following Jack and his loss of humanity while he is fighting the battle against the inhumane aliens, I was only a little disappointed that Melanie, and the others from Ault, didn't appear much in the third book. For those who read the book, you know when she appears but I won't ruin anything for those who haven't read the book.
I think that the examination of Jack's character throughout the third book changed dramatically from the first and second books because Jack finally realized he was the person who could save the world and he couldn't deny that.
I actually liked Jack more as he truly began to question himself.
So, I like the character, I like the writing and obviously like the book.
And I still feel like there could be a spinoff series, especially considering the very end of the book
Better than the 2nd book but still annoying as hell. I was going to write more about how cheesy it is to have such a bunch of aliens speaking like and acting like a bunch of 8th grade delinquents but then decided not to bother. If I hadn't foolishly bought all three books in this series at the same time, I never would have read the 2nd and 3rd books. Having bought them and since they're thankfully short stories, I pushed on and read them. I wish I could wash my brain now.
