Jane Hawk is inspiring. We all have too much government or individuals/groups
infiltrating our space. If you read the first 4 books in the series, you are
quite aware that a corrupt cabal of individuals has decided to impose havoc on
the world by controlling the minds of high-level individuals to satisfy their
desires. Four long books led us to book five, the climax. I’d like to say I read
every word from this masterful author, but I’d be lying since a lot of this
novel is material repeated from the previous books. This is necessary to
guarantee it can stand alone. But, the extra words certainly adds page after
page of repetitious text. I appreciate an author who can utilize words,
analogies, descriptions, etc. to clearly express an environment or situation.
However, I would be remiss not to point out that this can sometimes be
overdone. My advice: just skim over the repetitions and enjoy the book.
All my expectations for this last book in the series were
met: exciting, suspenseful, twists, just the right amount of combative actions,
characters that are memorable. I’ll always remember Jane for her perseverance
despite the numbers and the power of her adversaries. Her lessons to us are to never-give-up and to
always think and plan as best you can! Then there was Cornell with his
quirkiness, who struggled, but conquered his personality faults to reach out
and contribute to a cause. A third, Vikram, is new to us in this book and shows
us guys how to treat a off-limit lady despite absolutely adoring her. Well, Vikram,
is a computer hacker, who gives far more than he receives to assure the cabal
is defeated. A clever last-step plan when Jane and Vikram are up against insurmountable
odds saves the team. But, will everybody
live happily ever after?
