Jack Sigler, call sign King, field leader for a black ops organization known as Endgame, is accustomed to feeling capable of handling most any situation. It is a confidence forged in the fires of battle against both monsters and madmen. But the introduction of Asya, a sister he never knew existed, and the kidnapping of his parents has him reeling. Using Endgame's resources, King and his Chess Team (Queen, Rook, Bishop, and Knight) scour the planet for his parents, tracking a man known to the world as Alexander Diotrephes, but known to King by another name. A masked man walks past their secret headquarters' defenses, sits himself down in the director's chair, and waits. He's Richard Ridley, the team's oldest and most dangerous enemy, who is supposed to be dead. But he isn't Ridley. He is a clone in search of his master, the real Ridley, who yet lives and is being held captive by the same man that is holding King's parents."

I loved it!! What a great story, full of tons of action, and twists you don't see coming. I won't give away any of the plot as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it. But I will say, you are in for a wild, fun ride! I could not put the book down (as I sit here at 3am just having finished it). I can't wait to begin the next adventure in the series.
Picking up right where RAGNAROK leaves us, we think we know what is coming. Particularly with a title like OMEGA, you're expecting an ending.
And an ending you get. But it is NOT going to be one you see coming.
Along the way, you get classic CHESS TEAM level kicking of ass. You get old bad guys. You get a couple of new ones. You get old friends. You get new ones. You get old players switching teams.
And in the end, you get...
an end.
Jeremy and Kane throw plenty of loops in that were not expected, as well as a couple of kick ass scenes that are. One fight that you know is coming you do indeed get - but not in the way you expect. One fight that you expect gets one of the players changed - and quite possibly becomes a bit cooler because of it, particularly due to the setup of this particular fight in some regards.
Long time fans may be torn by how this plays out - I know I am. But it is absolutely one of the best books out there and deserving of the full 5 stars and then some. Read this book and you'll see what I mean about the stars, and possibly understand why I am torn. But then, long time fans are already going to pick this up. For people considering Jeremy and the CHESS TEAM, I'll say this: Go ahead and buy every single one of them. You'll want them available as you finish them. Then read them in the order they were published: PULSE, INSTINCT, THRESHOLD, the CALLSIGN novellas, PRIME, OMEGA. You will be in for the ride of your life!
