Starfall

Sixteen Sunsets Saga #3

by Mark Gardner, Cindy Vaskova

Andy Kitz tracked a series of strange events, and now knows the world is full of super-powered people. Having worked with a few supers, including a former street thug looking for redemption, he wants to help those who would protect the city and stop anyone, powered or not, who would harm innocents. But now he's one of only a few who know that the secret government agency run by Dr. Jacob Globe is not about merely trying to eliminate dangerous powers, but capturing supers for study so he can learn to give and take power at will.

There are supers with powers beyond comprehension, and Globe’s machinations could result in victims that he has no hope of controlling. The world watches the fallout of supers versus non-supers, and the city of Seattle is caught up in the crossfire between factions who believe that their way is the only way forward. But in a time where neighbors resort to reporting suspicious activity to settle grudges, Seattle is a powder keg awaiting a spark. What happens in Seattle will have lasting ramifications across the globe.

[Jessica Piro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Again, Starfall had just as much action as Sixteen Sunsets and Moonrise. This one had more emotion tied to some events, though, which I appreciated. Since one certain character is back, I'm not too sure this is the final book... but we'll see.

[Kah Juay · Rating 4 out of 5]

The place picked up considerably in the third book but I feel that the ending is rather abrupt and left a lot of questions unanswered.
