This review is of the concluding volume of Jason Anspach\u2019s and Nick Cole\u2019s Galaxy\u2019s Edge series.\u00a0 But to be totally accurate it is the last volume of \u201cSeason 1.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s right folks, science fiction series never die, they merely turn another page.<\/p>\n
This episode carries forward where the previous volume, Message for the Dead,\u201d left off.\u00a0 Goth Sullus has defeated the Republic, been declared Emperor by the House of Reason, captured the entities controlling the Cybar army and looks to be ready to consolidate his empire.<\/p>\n
But things have changed by the beginning of this book.\u00a0 Because Sullus has thrown in with the House of Reason, the loyal and valuable core of his Black Fleet and Shock Troopers are disillusioned with him and are leaving in droves to join up with the small remnant of the Legion that has escaped destruction.\u00a0 The book has all the remaining cast of characters from the earlier books and centers on the activities of now General Chhun and Kill Team victory and Aeson Keel and his crew as they team up to stop Sullus before he can consolidate his hold on the galaxy.<\/p>\n
A separate story line sets up the arc of the future Season 2.\u00a0 Prisma Maydoon is sheltering on a refuge planet supposedly safe from the war blanketing the rest of the galaxy.\u00a0 But danger finds her and she must save herself from a deadly attack.\u00a0 During this trail she decides that her fate is to find out what Goth Sullus is in order to destroy him.\u00a0 This leads her to escape from her refuge and head out of the galaxy to advance to the next stage in her development and face her destiny.<\/p>\n
The war and battle scenes live up to the excellent past of the series.\u00a0 The characters are engaging.\u00a0 The Prisma Maydoon story is a little too adolescent girl with magical powers for me.\u00a0 I guess Buffy the Vampire Slayer, River Tam and all their spiritual sisters have used up all of my empathy for four foot ten inch super girls.\u00a0 But that is just a small part of the book and the story is great.\u00a0 There is plenty of revenge to enjoy and lots of action to relish.\u00a0 And the story is faithfully completed (for the most part).\u00a0 Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
