Lost Civilization: Old Mans Comeback Book 3

Old Mans Comeback #3

by John Walker

The Collectors were supposed to be the answer. Now, their erratic, contradictory intel makes them the biggest question mark. Flip and Sorsha must race against time to uncover the truth behind their rogue assets, but their investigation is about to lead them into a labyrinth of danger they never imagined.

As the conspiracy against the Hostel explodes, assassins emerge from the shadows, ready to spill blood. The Collectors may have ignited the fuse, but a far more sinister puppeteer is pulling the strings, intent on unleashing pure chaos before claiming their ultimate prize. Can Kesta and his companions untangle the web of lies before it's too late? Or will the colony fall to ruin?

Another enthralling read

Walker is the author who keeps on giving. Even if you can recognise similarities in his various plots. I don't care. Once you start reading, you cannot stop. Carry on Mr Walker. How long before the next chapter in this series is published.

I've been in too many waiting rooms for long periods of time lately. This book was life saver while waiting for the mechanical problems of my vehicle to be solved. This book has interesting characters, lots of action, interesting situations, characters who are growing, and is just plain an absorbing read. The book did make the wait for the mechanic lots easier. I have read the three books in this series in paper. I face a big problem now since the next book is not published in paper. Please, Mr. Walker, allow your books to be published in paper. I do so much screen time that I want my leisure reading to be in real paper.

Danger everywhere!

Flip and Sorsha are continuing their efforts to find a Spark, along with an updated Registry. Unfortunately for them they are constantly being pushed into nearly lethal situations by various groups. Worse still they are coming to realize that the Collectors are not always trustworthy sources of information.
The Concierge is facing new challenges too, with chaotic events rapidly becoming a serious threat to not only his control of the Hostel but causing injuries and death to the community.

Good Story But …

It is a good story but the characters spend a lot of time in self recrimination for their actions, concern about their enemies, and other misguided thinking. Despite that they survive and continue their adventure.

Another jem in the series...

What can I say I got hooked! Can hardly wait for the next one. The characters are likable, the villains are villainous, and the action is continuous. Never a dull moment with these. Appreciate your work, John.

Not that great

Sounds like a first book from a new author….not at all like the many John Walker books I’ve read. Isn’t even a close match to other books he’s written!

Sold as a three part story. Wrong!
Plot twist become obvious, weird, unnecessary.
Waste of money!

Good follow up

I enjoyed this follow up to Namads Gate. The author kept my interest in the on-going adventures of Flip & Sorsha
