Short Finale [Maybe] To “The Ember War” Saga & The “Terran Expeditionary Corps” Series
Mr. Richard Fox has written a decent and entertaining [albeit short] concluding [maybe] book to his “The Ember War” saga and its progeny, the “Terran Expeditionary Corps” series.
The writing is all Richard Fox’s voice, no duet or trio of author partnerships to undercut his talent and skill, and his apparent True Catholic Faith™️ to serve as the foundation for his saga & series. [Very similar to what J.R.R. Tolkien did nearly a century ago with “The Lord of the Rings.”]
This book, “The Light Within,” “The Ember War,” saga and the Terran Expeditionary Corps” series are highly recommended.

A fitting end
A fitting end to the Saga. I really liked the final touch of Marc Ibarra along with the Keeper still watching over us and knowing there is still "Iron" out there in the world. Thank you for this great saga you gave us.
