If you’ve read the books that precede this one, you will probably purchase this book to see how the series ends, regardless of the reviews (and this book does a fairly good job of wrapping up the series, so if you made it this far, don’t stop now).  Therefore, my review covers the whole series.I got the first book in the series when it was on Amazon’s free list.  I knew before I finished it that I would have to buy the next book.  By long, I knew I would have to buy the entire series.First, the praise.  I thought the overall story line was original and interesting.  Yes, I know many writers have tackled the earth impact theme, but Mr. George offered some interesting solutions to the problem in the form of the three arks, as well as interesting stories concerning how they survived the catastrophe.My complaints:As many have mentioned, the editing was bad!  While this didn’t bother me as much as it did some readers, it is clear that independent authors need to recruit people to read their books specifically to find misspellings, missing words, incorrect usage of words (their vs. there, etc.) and other problems.There were points where I found myself skimming pages instead of reading them because too much time was being spent on small issues that didn’t really advance the story line.  The writing could have been a little more concise.My last complaint is purely my own personal taste.  Others may not feel the same way.  Give me some heroes who use their brains and have an emotional backbone!!  Yes, characters should have emotions, have to deal with personal problems, and may sometimes make poor decisions, but too many times these characters were "off the charts".  There were times I nearly slammed my Kindle down in frustration.  I found myself thinking, “If they’re that stupid and emotionally out of control, maybe it’s better if they don’t survive!”  Give me more balanced, rational characters.I look forward to reading more from Mr. George.  To those who like this genre, please give this series a try.  It is original, and in spite of the flaws, I think you will enjoy it.
