I have been reading the Christian Kallias books in the series Universe In Flames, and I am well and truly addicted. I hope lots of people use Goodreads for the reviews, because I can't seem to get the Amazon system to accept my reviews (they are trying to fix that). Meanwhile, I am only posting here, and I have to say that these books are getting better and better as I go. The characters continue to evolve, and even the so-called bad guys are evolving, so that they aren't the one dimensional actors you find in some books. Also, the Universe the characters live in is expanding as we go (pun probably intended). The twists and turns in the story line are outstanding and you find yourself anticipating the next one. These Books are well worth your time and money.

Universe book 4

Just finished reading the first 4 books in the series and loved them. Once I started reading the series I had to keep going plenty of action and a great science fiction story. A must have for anyone who loves a good fast story.

The Beginning of the End is the fourth book in the Universe in Flames series. This should not be read as a standalone. You really need to read the books in order so that you understand the storyline and what is going on. Plus it ends with a cliffhanger for the next book. There is a lot of violence.

I keep thinking this series has to slow down sometime and yet it never does. A books full of visceral action, heartbreaking emotion and some heartstopping moments and the best ending so far. Chase has released the furies and now their vengeance begins. Intense and brilliant. I could not wait to start book 5. The narration is first rate with great range and depth.

Dragon ball z fan?

Seems like mostly written out dragon Ball z episodes. At least there isn't as much grunting and staring.

Was excited to see if the Asgardian would actually be part of the story...but alas still just the same group of races.

Just gets better and better

Wow the battles just get better and better typical godly powers by super human beings. If only you would think with all these powers they would use them for good but typical snotty aliens only war and destruction

This is good for a quick read, and part of a lengthy series.

Excellent book - lots of action, twist and turns. I went from this series straight to book 7.

Another great continuation of the story

The adventure and characters continue on their quest. As with the last books, this continues the quest to save the galaxy.

Scifi

I have really enjoyed reading the universe in flames series and each one keeps getting more exciting. I hope that everything turns out ok.

Some of it reminds me of Dragon Ball

[R. Kent · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good book and a lot of action as you probably know from the previous 3 books. Well worth reading.

[Kenneth Sutherland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Action packed episode

With action from start to finish this was a gripping book. What is in store for the main characters is to be seen in book 5, and it can go anyway.

Kindle Unlimited, tho first one might be permafree or whatever. Space opera plus, think that is the 'genre' if you have to have one. I liked it, it having a little bit of almost everything and even some humor although noticed one of the reviews {which only glance at and only after already reading the book} said might have been unintentional...but to my way of thinking maybe the reader just found it humorous. As far as things not being realistic or whatever, well it's space opera and we are not in space for real yet so who knows, besides perhaps the writers of doctor who or star trek or the like, I mean come on Olympian Gods and you are just at what point thinking some things aren't 'real' enough

Oh no!

My jaw has dropped, I am stunned!
Utter devastation, both physical and emotional. The universe is on a knife's edge. The Furies are evil, pure and simple.
I don't know where this series will go from here but I am going to follow it, that's for sure.

The battle continues

In the fourth book of this series, we see Chase and his friends once again doing battle. But there is now a new enemy combatants at play, the gurus are free. They are looking at wiping out all the other races, but can Sarah and their unborn son Chris be a help. Looking forward to reading the next book of this series. I fully recommend you give this series a read.

Chris' art is progressing and the storyline becomes more dense and breathtaking. The Fury menace is delivering all its promises of awfulness now and I can't wait for the next volume.

[Milena Reinherz · Rating 4 out of 5]

A real page turner, this 4th book is even more dynamic and complex than its predecessors!

[Everett Jr. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am enjoying the series. The author comes up with quite a few surprises. I enjoy his use of Greek mythological characters and touches on Norse mythology.

She is a story twister

When the bad guys losing they win .this type of storytelling, is art. I am hooked . She give you just enough to make come back for more.

[Terry L Myers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Energy, surprises: Space Opera/Fantasy at it's best. Are the Furies going to win?

[Paula · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great installment of the Universe in Flames series. Each book introduces new characters that hook you even deeper into the storyline. And, unfortunately, some former characters are lost. The book is action packed and the characters continue to evolve and surprise.
