The epic conclusion to the Predator Space Chronicles.

Tarkos and Bria bring war to the Ulltrians.

Thousands of years ago, the Ulltrians devastated much of the life in the galaxy. Now they have returned. The human Amir Tarkos and his bear-like partner Bria are members of the elite Predator Corp, and together they have discovered the secrets of the Ulltrian's devastating new weapon.

But the key to the Ulltrian weapon is held by one human child, abandoned among humanity's enemies. Can Tarkos save her and face single combat with an Ulltrian, while the final battle rages around them?

What an ending!

Epic conclusion to a series that went beyond my expectations. I was set to read an easy SciFi story without much surprises, basically thinking the human beings are going to be the focal point and heroes... While there is definitely a bit of that, the plot progression through each volume never went to the point of singling out just the humans, and the other species in the universe had also a prevalent role that was absolutely refreshing. I'm a huge fan of Bria who's an exceptional commander and quite possibly the strongest character in this last volume. Sure, there are heroics to be had from Tarkos and Margherita (noteworthy: Margherita is "only" 14 years old but with seemingly centuries old wisdom thanks to horrible circumstances...). Ultimately, the fight against the Ulltrians was spectacular, and yes Tarkos did go above and beyond in his own way. Also, eff' cancer! Enough said

A fantastic conclusion to an AMAZING seven-novella series that's felt hand-crafted for my hero-loving heart from the beginning, and has never disappointed.

The few little things that I noticed as not perfect are smooshed flat by all the awesome. What a great story.

A very good ending to a very good science fiction series. War, multiple interesting civilizations, harmonizers to protect those civilizations and a deadly enemy race that destroys all in its path. Epic.

If I could give the whole series more than five stars, I would.
