What do you fight for when you’ve already lost? After the surprise attack on Trinity, John Alvarez is left holding the key to defeating anti-life, Dr. Black’s vac-shielding weapon. But the pendulum swings back when a message is received saying Novos is under siege. Unknown to Alvarez, anti-life fighters are focusing their attack on Novos’s flagship, the same ship Nadia and Adam are on. There’s more behind the attacks than what meets the eye. Alvarez must race home to beat back the merciless onslaught of the anti-life fleet. Everything is at stake, but time’s running out.
Choose your pain.” Revenge is, oh so bitter-sweet. A listless outcome besiege the space stations and planets after a deadly encounter. Only revenge sustain the very brave. The disturbing high tech meds involved are really outstanding and terrifying at the same time. Characters’ emotions and feelings are raw and realistic, to the point of reflecting the very nature of mankind today. A reflexive socio-political debate throughout the story, makes it compelling and thoughtful. The end is totally unexpected or expected, depending on how we grasp the situation. An excellent science fiction trilogy, highly recommended!
Colonel John Alverez was at trinity station with Dr. Black when Anti-Life snuck up on them and destroyed the outpost and Trinity Station. In the end, he and the doc escaped. But, during that conflict, they used an invention by the beautiful doctor to destroy the largest ship they had ever seen. The ship belonged to the Anti-Life invaders. They also defended and rescued a couple of marauder’s vessels. After that, once the last of the invader’s ships were destroyed, they received a distress signal from Novos. When they reached Novos, Anti-Life was attacking the flagship of the fleet and winning. Three of the massive carriers of Anti-Life were closing on General McKinley’s ship, the Victoria. He was able to destroy whatever Anti-Life was on one of the carriers, but the other two looked like they had rammed the flagship. As the two Anti-Life ships pulled back, the Victoria looked destroyed and lifeless. John’s wife and child were aboard that ship, and he could only watch as the two ships disappeared as they jumped from the system.
The world has been built, and now this book-three of the trilogy of Anti-Life just adds the final strokes to the picture. The characters are established, and their interactions are as expected and done well. Everything is in the pot, and now it simmers, waiting for an ending that surprises you with how well it is done.
This final book in the Anti-Life series definitely is full of science fiction, action, and adventure and shows this trilogy is worthy of being called a space opera. I give this third book of the series five stars out of five stars.
Entropy is a good well written book with a straight plot. One man can save humanity. There is some fighting but not a lot. Also has some political drama that adds to the problem of saving the human race. This has a strange ending and the book is well worth reading.
I enjoyed it almost as much as second book. What I have to admit... I'm not sure I understand what happened at the end - but at least I have something to think about :)
An excellent finish to this brilliant, well written sci fi adventure! A absolutely great series! I did enjoy this immensely! I do strongly recommend this writers work & look forward to more from him!
"The most dangerous thing in the universe .." Alvarez suspected that the attack on Trinity had been a ruse to distract from a larger force heading for Novus and it's defense fleet. Alvarez feared for his wife and son who were on the flagship Victoria, and blamed himself for leaving them and thus endangering them. The fight against the Antilife continues.
This is the finale of the series and sustains the tensions from the previous books throughout. A good balance of action and explanation as the character of John Alvarez continues to emerge, not always sympathetically. As the author suggests in an afterwards note, he is a man 'broken, flawed and held back by the world around him'. Quick to read, this book maintains the interest of the reader and reaches a satisfactory conclusion whilst still leaving possible room for follow up at some stage in the future. Personally, I hope that happens.
All things end. PG13 and it kept me up WAY past my bedtime with its reading time of around six hours. I read an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
