Generation Icarus #4
Final Stand
There’s an old “United we stand; divided we fall.”
We should have listened.
All we wanted was to be free, to be safe.
To survive.
*
Still reeling from the loss of two Flight members, and the unexpected arrival of two more, the Flight works hard to rebuild. However, the promise of divine answers lures Condor back to the Angelists and their spiritual quest. Kestrel accompanies him, fearing the Reverend’s plans are less than godly. But even she can’t predict what the Reverend has in store.
Meanwhile, back at the Flight’s refortified sanctuary, Hawk and the others are shocked when a new group of Icari makes contact. “The Flock” seems like the real deal – but how did they know where to find the Flight? Where did they come from? And is their arrival a promise … or a threat?
The Flight doesn’t know it, but both the Angelists and the Evolutionary Corporation are poised to destroy everything it has fought for. With no way to escape and nowhere to fly, the Flight will be forced to make its final stand.

In which the Generation Icarus adventures finally conclude...or do they?
There's a reason why the term "Post-Dramatic Jess Disorder" was coined for this book. Of all the Icarus stories (including the Origins novellas), this one has the highest levels of action and feels by far. Especially when Kess and Con are in scene. Especially-especially when the dreadful Reverend enacts his most secret, most devastating plan yet (after which, truly, nothing will ever be the same again for our favorite team.) And then there's the involvement of the Flock, a team of European Icari with an unfortunate connection to those damned Evos (and, thankfully, an in-name-only connection to Max Ride and her Flock, who would no doubt join the Flight to kick these guys' asses, provided Hawk, Kess, and Lory left them any spare ass to kick). When their secret member is unveiled, that's probably the part that made me lose it more than any other single moment in this series.
*sigh* The main series may be over, but at least I can still eagerly await one more Origins novella for Condor. There's someone I need to remember as he was before this book, that's for damn sure. In the meantime, ave atque vale, Generation Icarus! And maybe someday I'll honor you guys with a much-needed addition to the ever-growing ranks of Icarus fanfic... :D
