Maverick Stand is a great final chapter to this engaging series. Like it’s predecessors, it has the sci-fi elements of futuristic technology and high stakes battles. It also brings a satisfying close to the plots and schemes that started in those earlier novels. For me though, it’s the characters that give any story heart, and this one definitely delivers. As I followed along with Knox and the others, I knew how much the decisions they made could and did cost them. I felt the weight of loss, the fear for each other, and buoy of hope with them. It made the story feel real. I’m so happy with the way the author wrapped up this series.
Great ending to the Knox series. The scene descriptions and action portrayals build the pictures in your mind. The stage is set. Like a chessboard the pieces are placed, the opposing strategies are devised, then revised. The tension builds and the action thrills. Not just checkmate but tournament over, (no spoilers) for someone. I enjoyed it immensely. You will too.
While the basis of this story was interesting, I found this fourth book of the series very hard to follow without having recently read the earlier ones. While I did really like the first ones of the series, there was a bit more vulgar language in this one and I found it less enjoyable for that reason. If you've read all three of the first ones, though, you certainly will want to read this one that seems to wrap things up nicely.
