If you’re not into reading a whole trilogy crammed into one book then i’d suggest staying away: this book is huge. But if you’ve got this far you’ve just read two books of similar length so you’re used to it by now — dive right in.
My thoughts are that this book just doesn’t come up to the same level as the previous two. I think it’s because everything in this universe that we’ve come to know is all getting torn apart into molecules by the Inhibitors and there’s not much left of life as we once knew it. It’s all quite depressing really, as are some of the characters. And while i like a writer who isn’t afraid to kill off a main character or several, i was a bit put out by one of them as i really wanted to hear more from them: i won’t say which one because it would spoil the whole book.

I really couldn’t take any more of this story. I gave up when Jian was about to crash into the orbital lift.
The third instalment in the Hardwired Series.
I believe this novella was written as an afterthought to attempt to bridge a gap between
This is one of those books with lots of jargon that isn’t explained in advance, and so you wander through a world with nomenclature and terminoloy that means nothing to you until, in the case of the term “thatch” for example, you get over 60% of the way into the story before someone explains what the word means. I would suggest that it’s definitely well worth reading the bit at the back named “Panzerboy” before you begin as that helps a little settling in.
What begins as a war-criminal hunt slowly turns more and more strange and out of control for our intrepid party of hunters.
This is one rather large book but, thankfully, it’s one rather good book as well that keeps those pages turn, turn, turning.
), because other than that one bizarre murder it’s super good, great writing, great characters, everything as we’ve come to expect so far in this series.
This one has call backs to
