The Last Element: Old Mans Comeback Book 4

Old Mans Comeback #4

by John Walker

The galaxy is never short on danger—but this time, it might be too much even for them.

Sorsha and Flip have stared down death before, but their latest mission is anything but routine. Sent to recover a Spark to operate the Resurrection Box, they land on a strange world where nothing is as it seems. What begins as a simple pickup explodes into a fight for survival, with unusual enemies lurking in every shadow and a threat they never imagined.

Back at the Hostel, trouble brews on an even greater scale. Kesta Orat and Bolst Losely are taken captive by a mysterious enemy, and escape is their only hope to save not just themselves, but everyone who calls the settlement home. Outnumbered and out of time, they’ll have to risk everything to turn the tide.

“Run!” (he or she said)

Unfortunately for Flip and Sorsha, all too often they are forced by situations that make it critical for one or both to flee to save their lives!

They are continuing their search for Kultarian technology in the hopes of not only fixing the box that healed Flip but to get better protection from attack & to hit harder in offense.

A really fun space opera

I'm not sure how these guys are going to save the hostel, but I can't wait to find out. It's predictable, but that's part of the fun! One step forward, two steps back.

So far so good!

I loved the complicated plot twists. I was wondering how you going to put it all together... you did well. I'm becoming a real fan. Can't hardly wait to read the last one in the series.

Good series

These books really move along. Several lines moving forward at all times. Each thread has strong tie to the main characters while having their own lives and issues to deal with. A lot of growth in the characters. Fast paced great read.
