Review: Not on par with the rest of the series

This is one of the lowest reviews I have ever written. I was a rabid fan at the start of the series and really enjoyed the first four books. This last book had some serious pacing and balance issues. The return and leaving earth again should not have taken 3/4 of the book. The last 1/4 of the book felt rushed and not at all up to the quality the author had previously produced. The title was misleading as well as the NextGen did not really come into major roles until the last 1/4 of the book and none of those characters were really developed. Maybe a 2nd edition with expansions on the last quarter of the book would really help. The author stated last week on Facebook that if there was interest the could be a 6th book in the series. I would be willing to read another installment in hopes the series could go out on a high note.
