The Starsea Cycle #9
The Gates of Time
The Worlds are saved—but not for long.
Lucian Abrantes and the Starsea Fleet have driven back the Alkasen. While the Worlds rebuild and recover from the brutal war, the Ancient One threatens to undo the uneasy peace.
On the world of Mako, the Ancient One has done the unthinkable. Marshaling the ether of the Source of Power, he has escaped through a Time Gate, an action that threatens to unravel Lucian's heroism and even reality itself.
Lucian has no choice but to follow him. But time travel has terrifying consequences that require him to go down a dark path. What price will Lucian pay to protect his reality and loved ones from complete destruction?

Book 9... well, you were a wild ride! I truly love Lucien and his crew, I'm loving watching them go from strength to strength. Dealing with all the curveballs the prophecy and Starsea throw at them.
I mean magic, space, different civilisations, time travel.. what more does one need in a good book.
The fights, the losses, and the increased magic system are all awesome. Loved it!

Fascinating and engaging!
Having followed Lucian and his friends from Book 1, reading this was bittersweet. On one hand, the story is incredible and full of adventures but on the other, knowing that the journey ends in Book 10. I eagerly await to read the next chapter and conclusion to this story!

Good story continues Lucians quest looking forward to reading the heart of creation and wrap up of the series but sorry at the same time as I have enjoyed reading them all.
