A fantastic sci-fi story for the ages. Alien-human hybrids, nukes, romance, science, politics, villain lair moon bases, crowd funding campaigns, social media information warfare and a daddy going to other worlds to find his abducted daughter.

Insanely great plot and action.

A spectacular end to the series. Everything gets wrapped up in a nice bow.


This ends one of the best sci-fi series I've ever read. The scope goes from the individual, to their relationships, to their ship, to their world, to their surrounding worlds, to their solar system. Then across solar systems... over 1300. Then through time to billions of years earlier. Then it assimilates all 1300 galaxies that host humans via the creation of a hive mind. And then it crosses universes. And then for its closing act takes us a million years into the future.


The scale of the storytelling is beyond imagining, but it's done so well that it all comes together coherently into a masterfully told epic space opera that explores the barrier of humanity and consciousness. The adventures in physics are super fun too, along with sociology, biology, psychology, philosophy and little chemistry mixed in for good measure.


This is a series I'll totally read again one day, and if recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi.

Another great instalment in the series. This is dark though: the autocratic empire dominates humanity, and it feels like an unstoppable force. Great progress on the plot.

The plot heads a whole new direction, and it's dark, and awesome. This story follows a cataclysmic terrorist attack on earth, and is the best character development in the series so far. Literally all the characters have a whole bunch of their back story filled in. So good.

Epic space battles!


This book takes us through the battle between the Free Navy and everyone else. Chaos. Some good character development and great plot advancement.
