Earth Guardians #3
Resurrection
“Hello again.” I gulp half my drink as I gather my thoughts. “Stop looking at me like that. I know you are back for our last adventure together, but I deserve a break, don’t you think?” I finish the rest of my drink in one go before crossing my arms over the top of the bar and let out a quiet sigh.
“They are here, do you know that? We spent the last adventure fighting four immortal aliens, and now the population of their entire planet is here. We are doomed.” I lower my head.
“Take your hands off me,” I shout. “I know you will say that the military of this entire world is now at my disposal, but what are they going to do? Huh? What can they do against forces they don’t even comprehend? I will not send them to their death. This is my job. It’s up to me to protect this world, and I keep backing myself into a corner,” I cry, slowly banging my head against the counter. “I have no more ideas.”
Rupert bursts into the bar, shoves at the seat below me, and gives me a hard stare, then turns his gaze to you. “Fear not, Adventurer, he will fight until his last breath.”
“Yes, yes,” I say, as I now lay sprawled on the ground. “What else am I going to do?”
Rupert tosses me over his shoulder. “Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are not the first person to lose something dear to him, and we still have a planet to save.”
“Rupert,” I say, my eyes closed, and the top half of my body dangling down his back, “do you think I can do it? Can I really save human existence once and for all?”
Rupert ignores my questions, strides toward the exit, stopping by the door, and looking at you. “Come on, Adventurer. It’s time to see how this story ends.”

About the author
Moud Adel
20 books23 followersMoud Adel is an Egyptian author who lives in France. His mother tongue is Arabic, and his daily language is French. Yet, he insists on writing his fantasy stories in English, using Arabic only when writing poems. When asked about why he doesn’t write in Arabic, which has come up a few times, his answer is always the same because he can express himself better in English. However, on separate occasions, he can also be found debating the beauty of the Arabic language and how rich with words it is. He claims that every emotion can be better described in Arabic for the sole reason that his birth language has more word variations that touch on every feeling.
Confronted by his contradiction, Moud claims that both answers are correct. He says that his home language, while indeed rich with words, is better suited for reaching into his own heart. That when it comes to fantasy, Arabic becomes more of a cliché and makes his words feel more like satire. And since he loves fantasy with every ounce in his soul, he will accept only what does it justice.

Wow! This series just gets better and better.
So much action and storytelling. I love the way the author weaves in so much history.
Heartbreaking too.

This is it; the finale of a trilogy that began in Invasion. This time, John must gather allies—both old and new—execute every plan he has, and use all of his knowledge to save the planet in an all-out war with his enemies.
As always, the action and worldbuilding are great, and the pacing makes me want to turn to the next page to know what’s next. However, the same flaws from the previous novels still plague this book, though to a lesser degree this time.
The twist at the end is a little cliché, but not shocking despite the lack of buildup and foreshadowing. It does, however, sets up a sequel series which will hopefully fix some loose threads that the first one purposely left.
I still didn’t like the love interest, though she has a better role here. Her character development is off the place—from a damsel in distress/minor character to an instant shift to a heroine in the end. The other characters are more interesting compared to her, especially the Guardians.
John is still John, but he has improved in this book by a margin. He’s not as annoying as before, though there are a few scenes where that flaw is prevalent. But it is not something that should deter readers from this book.
Overall, Earth Guardians trilogy is a good read if you want a relatively short sci-fi adventure with solid plot and good worldbuilding.
