This is the sixth book in The 28th Gate series of books. They're not the deepest or most descriptive of works, but I've enjoyed them as fun short reads. I think I've often compared them to reading episodes from a television series. I still get that vibe from the books, but this book has a few problems that made me not like it quite as much as previous books.
What I liked was still there though. I like the characters, the guns and technology in the series, and even though the world isn't maybe as cohesive as I'd like it's still an interesting setting of corporations being in control of whole planets or systems in the future. The stories are interesting and full of action. It's still a fairly fun ride from beginning to end.
That leads to the problems. The biggest problem is probably that the book feels rushed. The episodic nature allows for us to jump from one issue to another with a bit of time kind of ignored. Since we're only following the main character Hunter, it also limits the scope of what we know about. However, this just leaves things feeling rushed and like things were just moving a bit quicker than it should.
That's not the only problem though that I had. I'm not sure I really liked the resolution. It kind of makes sense to do what was done, but at the same time I'm not sure if it really seemed like a great decision. I guess I just felt that Hunter had a rather hard time of things in this book, it felt like one thing after another was going wrong for him and it just felt like a pile on by the end and maybe as the reason he made the decision he does at the end.
I still enjoyed the work and it will be interesting to see what comes of the next two books since the way things are left doesn't really leave a lot of room for more books in my opinion. I guess we'll see. I'll read them and I still enjoy the series overall as a fun lighter science fiction read.

One of the best in the series
I loved this volume! Some of the most tense and enjoyable stories in the entire saga.
I'm still trying to decide if I loved the ending, or if it felt a little rushed and unsatisfying.
It was well written, tense and had me hooked right to the very end.
I think it would've benefited from more development of the tension and history between the two brothers.
Overall I've loved following the story and would recommend it to any Sci fi fan.
Absolutely worth every penny.

An ending no one like me expected
First, I can not wait till the next two books out but havae to wait till next year BUMBER! Like I said an ending I really did not expect with both a happy and sad ending but it left you hanging and wondering how the endings was going to work out for the characters involved.

So good
This story ended up being one of my favorites. Interesting characters and worlds. I can’t wait for the final season, which I really hope is not the end end of Hunter and CO’s story.

The Twenty-eighth Gate,Volume six
I've enjoyed all six books in the series. Hunter, Gloria, and Kathleen kept me wanting to share more of their adventures. Kudos

3.5*. I'm hooked on this series and engaged with the characters but it's getting darker by the episode.
