Nexus House #3
The End of Time
Listening time 8 hours 22 minutes
The discovery of a mysterious space station unlocks a centuries-old mystery.
Admiral Jon McCarthy, a Nexus Ten with the gift of foresight, stands as humanity's last beacon of hope against the relentless Korilian Empire. With the outcome of the brutal 33-year war tilting in the Korilians’ favor again, McCarthy must lead 3rd Fleet on a perilous mission behind enemy lines.
By his side is Lara Anderson, a woman whose absence of a prime timeline—rendering her past and future indiscernible—may hold the key to humanity's survival. Joining them is Elena Kapadia, another Nexus Ten, whose years of captivity and torture by her Korilian captors have molded her into a formidable, yet unpredictable ally.
Their mission takes an unexpected turn when they discover a mysterious space station deep in Korilian territory. As the team races to determine the purpose of this facility, 3rd Fleet must endure a withering assault by the Korilian armada, buying time for McCarthy, Lara, and Elena to unravel a centuries-old mystery and the key to ending the Korilian War.
Venture into the intricate universe of Rick Campbell’s The End of Time, where the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. A stellar addition to any science fiction library, echoing the grand storytelling of Dune and Leviathan Wakes.

This is most definitely a 3.5 rounded up. What a shame. The first book was so good! The second book was not as good, and this time we've descended into cat fights between two women. And a guy who's just mopping up all the attention. I am a romance lover and yet I was annoyed.
And for good reason. The idea of people being frozen in time is fantastic. I wish we'd had far more of that. Elena vs. Lara? Who. Cares. Give me more of the fixing the frozen time stuff. The main characters were lost in all the focus on feelings. I would gladly have traded all that nonsense for a good fight between the houses and some serious battles in space. This idea that all these ships are lost, well, how are they lost? I'd like some real focus on the details of the battles. There was a slight bit of that at the end, but not enough. Too much time wasted.
I really love Greg Tremblay on audio, he's always fantastic. So I'll probably pick up the next book when it comes out. But this one? What a disappointment.

This is a story of different world at war with one another. It is a fast action-adventure tale that inclues characters with advance abilities. It is a story that has multiple stories within it as different factions battle with one another. It is also a love story with the two female leads both in love with the male lead. Hang on to your seat and go for the ride.
