The year is 2074. The Battle for Bane continues... On the run from authorities and corporations Breq and Hannah escape the New England Recovery Zone and find themselves in the flooded city of New Harris. Together they risk everything to journey back into the future world of Bane, a world of cyborgs, nanites, starships, and superpowers, to save their friends, even if it means joining up with the 'bad guys.' Meanwhile, a threat from the past is plotting vengeance, and he doesn't care who he has to kill or betray to get it. Reunited with old friends in the future, including Myra, Gorge, Cass, and Kira. Breq will face his hardest challenge yet, a race against time as he dives into a derelict starship to take control of his own fate to save the guildmates who have become his family. A dark truth about Bane will be revealed as the past and future collide in a journey to a post-apocalyptic Earth. Enter the Cold Zone, the Lost Quadrant, a brutal never-ending void of space where nothing will ever be the same and the future is no longer just a game.

I have loved this series, and the 3rd book grows the series further into epic status for me. The character developed is unreal, thr MC and supporting cast are great pices to this puzzle. The creativity is unparalleled, Stephen is a muse of ideas, with engaging plot points, fast paced, and great recipes for monsters with an appetite. I couldnt put this book down, it filled me with excitement, laughs, joy...I was so immersed just because of the well crafted brilliant world building
Numerous typos and malapropisms, a largely nonsensical plot, some text formatting issues, and gratuitous copy-paste of stat blocks that didn't even change, can't really recommend.
