Upon receiving the urgent missive, confirming the existence of the Flotilla, there’s nothing left for Holly to do but rush to their aid. Hundreds, if not thousands, of lives are at stake. But the government, now run by her crew, are holding back their efforts. Betraying them could mean the start of a bitter feud, just when the dark city has a chance to regain its lost resources.
Alaria Bancroft is in the fight of her life—against her father and his trusted followers. After cutting the hydro-farms loose, they’re in jeopardy of being lost at sea. To complicate matters, the biospheres are broken beyond repair and food stores are rapidly dwindling. If help doesn’t arrive soon, they all die.
Ari’s only option is to sneak back into the floating city, in one last attempt to save as many as she can. When Holly arrives, the two have to work together, but it might be too late…
Amanda Carlson is the author of the upcoming Jessica McClain series. The first book, Full Blooded, will be released by Hachette Book Group, ORBIT US & UK SEPT 2012. She’s been writing for over ten years. Full Blooded is her first novel. She lives in Minneapolis, with her husband and three kids.
When an urgent message for help confirms that the floating flotilla still exists Holly and her crew have no choice but to mount a rescue operation, even if their fledgling new government is determined to stop them. Alaria has done everything she can to protect her people from her father's increasing madness but they're nearly out of supplies and with the hydro-farms no longer attached to the main flotilla they are at increased risk of starvation unless Ari risks it all to ask outsiders for help.
Danger's Fate was a fab instalment to the Holly Danger series, we've heard rumours about the flotilla since early in the series but this is the first time we have confirmation that the floating city is still out there. Holly and her crew take a huge risk flying out over the water but with thousands of lives at risk, and a potential trove of new technology that could help survivors across the city, they have no choice but to attempt a rescue.
This was the first time we've had another narrator alongside Holly and I really loved Ari's voice. We're introduced to a whole new group of characters as one major story arc of the series ends and another is set to begin. I've really enjoyed spending time with Holly, Case, Dax and the others but it was fun to see another way of life aboard the floating ships and I'm looking forward to getting to know Ari and her friends better.
I've been really enjoying this series so I'm very glad it's not over yet and I think there's plenty of excitement to come in the next few books!
Going into this book, I didn’t realize that it was the last book in this arc. I say arc because I’m excited to say there will be more books from a different angle which I can’t say too much about as I don’t know much. LOL! There was an excerpt at the end, but I don’t really read excerpts. Anyway, the last book was a culmination of many things, not the least of which was the Flotilla. We find out about them, and what happened. And, there was plenty of action, tense moments, and romance. I loved this book, and I hope that we get to see more of Holly, Daze, Case, etc. in the next books. If you are an existing fan, you will love this latest installment. If you haven’t already started this, you need to remedy that immediately. I highly recommend this book. I was provided the e-book which I reviewed voluntarily.
DNF a few chapters from the end, I’m embarrassed to admit. I should have DNFed at book one but I was enchanted by Daze’s scampering and Holly’s derring-doing.
An amazing conclusion to the Holly Danger saga. The Flotilla, already mentioned in the first book of the series, is a reality, and victim of a crazy man, they are in need of help. Holly and her team will try to assist, but they will need to do things they have never imagined before.
The Flotilla was something that caught my attention when I first started reading this series. I knew there was going to be a good backstory. Many of the elements in the series are tied up here in a satisfying conclusion. The world created by Amanda Carlson was a very exciting one, and I had a great time exploring it along Holly, Daze, and the rest of the characters. I have read this book with a mix of satisfaction and sadness. It was an exciting journey, and the characters did grow on me. Secondary characters have more importance in this book than in previous ones, and this helped in providing a rich story.
Emma Wilder does a stellar job again narrating this book. It is her usual top-notch narration, which makes listening to this book a great pleasure. Wilder gave the characters have distinctive voices and transmitted their emotions so that they feel like real people.
As sad as it is to say good-bye to a great series, we can witness the beginning of something else at the end of the book. I’m looking forward to what Carlson has in store for us, I am sure it will be amazing.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Danger's Fate completes the story arc begun by Amanda Carlson with Danger's Halo, featuring Holly Danger and her crew surviving in a futuristic world. Our world went mad, democracy disappeared, oligarchs ruled, technology went to dizzying and worrying heights and then it all came crashing down when a meteor hit. Doesn't really sound so far fetched does it?
The city is just beginning to get over a major threat for the outsiders, one which was hard fought by Holly, Case, Daze, Bender and the rest, when news comes in regarding the flotilla which left some 30 years ago to live life on the seas. It appears that there is new danger and one which Holly and Case feel they must combat. With the expert help of Maisie, the livebot and Daze the boy wonder, they encounter life at sea.
In the meantime we meet Ari from her perspective, the daughter of the man trying to ruin everything, in her own desperate bid to save herself and as many people as she can. Utterly fascinating in the way the technology has been thought out. But people are people and some will always want power and go a little mad. At it's heart this is a story about people and how they form friendships and try to survive as best they can.
A great ending, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to what comes next in this exciting new world.
This has been the most enjoyable series I've ever read. How fortunate I feel that I discovered this author and series when the first six books were already available. In earlier reviews of the first five books, I commented on how fast I was reading these books and was buying each successive book before posting the review for the just completed book. I've read a lot of series with "butt-kicking" lady warriors and even told one author I had a crush on her heroin well, I'm very jealous of Case who seems to be an ideal match for Holly Danger. The development of characters has been extraordinary and their behaviors are realistic and understandable. Sometimes, with a lengthy series and a lot of characters, it's hard to become comfortable and understand everything, this author does an excellent job and everything flows smoothly. I'm now in the normal position waiting for the next book in this outstanding series and will have to wait. Something Holly and I don't do very well.
In the exciting conclusion of the Holly Danger series, Holly, Case, Daze and Maisie are ready to aid the people of the Flotilla, who are being endangered and attacked by their leader, Marty Bancroft Jr., Case’s long lost father. Alaria Bancroft, Marty's daughter, is fighting for her life and the lives of all of her people, especially the hydro-farms which are adrift on the raging sea. The story follows both points of view, and once Holly finally arrives to help, the two women work together to come up with a way to take out the insane Marty and save everyone. Holly is so afraid of the sea, and it really took courage to brave that water and help with the mission. I really enjoyed this series, and seeing everything all come together and the two groups having the possibility of pooling the resources they’ve been denied by one greedy man was great. I can imagine them all having a peaceful and prosperous future, and knowing Holly and her crew, they’ll fight to make it happen.
I received a free copy of the audiobook version of this book for an honest review.
I loved it! I love this series! Like all the books in this series, they’re fast-paced, enjoyable, and hard to put down. I feel like I waited a long time for this book to come out, so I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about picking up on this series after all the time had passed, but it made no difference. The author created characters who are all unique and it was easy to pick right back up on what was going on.
As also, I'm a huge fan of the narrator, Emma Wilder; she does an awesome job narrating. She's one of the few female narrator's that I feel can do a great male-sounding voice.
I adored this book, I've been waiting a long time and it was worth it! I loved Ari, the new female character that shared narration with Holly in this book. We find out that the floating city is real and things are starting to look up for both groups as through Holly & Ari they are united! I can't wait to see how things change for everyone. There was a hint dropped at the end connected to Holly and I can't wait to see where that leads as well!
I received this audiobook for free for an honest review. Again, Amanda Carlson does an excellent job with this thrilling series. I enjoy this series immensely. Holly's exploits and the parts the other characters play on the team makes this story exciting. The story keeps you on the edge and your attention until the end. Couldn't stop listening. Look forward to each story in this series. The narrator does a great job with the characters.
I'm kinda sad that this is the last one in this series...at least right now. It did leave a little bit of a lead so the story can go on if the author wishes to continue. I'm not sure if I want the series to continue or to end on this note. Case and Daze know who they are...family by blood. The story hints that there might be additional book(s) for Holly's family line. Right now they're all safe and out of danger, but Danger is Holly's surname so the series may go on.
Enjoyed the conclusion to this episode. With the continuation of face passed action and on going relationship bonds and developments came to a well rounded end.
After a very long, and very painful (because I'm impatient like that) wait, I was so happy to see this book finally getting released. I'm also happy to say that the wait was more than worth it. Ms. Carlson has created a world that will take your breath away with its almost prophetic look into the future. She has also created characters that are complex and believable. I have loved Holly from the very beginning, and as the series has progressed that love has only intensified. This story wraps up her story, but begins another. You can't pick this one up without reading the others, though, or you will be totally lost. There are many questions answered, tons of exciting action, and, like I said, an introduction to characters that I know I will grow to love just as much as I do Holly. I'm hoping this won't be the last I see of her and her friends, but their story does come to a nice conclusion. I'm really looking forward to Mina's story! If you haven't read any of the books in the series, you need to. It's rich in detail, the plot moves at a perfect pace, and Holly and her crew are all well developed and complex characters who you would love to meet in real life. And even though the story is set in a futuristic dystopian world, you don't have to be a sci-fi lover to enjoy this one. I recommend it to anyone who just enjoys a wonderful book.
