Having read 90% or more of everything this author has published, it's hard to find something new to describe the masterful works he has come up with. The story of Marten & Company has truly lead readers like myself on an EPIC journey across the solar system and back. You truly feel a deep connection with them. Heppner has a knack for writing lead characters you can relate to. It's amazing to realize how much Marten has evolved. This latest book brings the story to it's climax and has Marten putting everything on the line one last time. Humanity truly rests in the balance and the price of survival is indeed hefty.I'm of two minds on this being the last book. I think this has wrapped up the story of Marten Kluge pretty well. If there was another book, I would love to see the author take this story on a tangent and say look 25 years ahead, reflecting on how Marten's actions have changed or shaped things and introducing some new characters both good and bad into the existing universe. Whatever Mr. Heppner decides...I'll be reading it when it is published.Best to start at book #1, but every book in this series is a journey, this last one is the pinnacle.
