Review: Good, but Not Great Finale to this part of the Story Arc

Good, but not great.  I say that because while book 1 was good, book 2 was great, and book 3 was incredibly awesome (6 stars!), this one was more along the lines of the first book, albeit with much, much less grammar and word usage errors (You can definitely notice that Evan has matured as a writer, in his word usage, his mastery of grammar, etc...)(Minor spoiler) One thing I missed was little, if any, mention of the beings who controlled the Drasin in the previous books.  Obviously, that is left for the continuation of the series, but as was mentioned in other reviews, this part of the story arc has been completed.A bit annoying is the protagonists mastery of everything, from aeriel combat to starship piloting, to ground combat, to armored vehicle combat, to sneaky infiltration (mentioned as part of his past history).  I'm an active duty Marine, and while I like to think we are all the best at everything, I do understand that no one is an expert at all things, but in this book, the protagonist is.  Somewhat stretches credibility.Another thing that bothered me was that the capability of the heroes to defeat the Drasin ships varies throughout the book, even within the span of a page or two:  it will go from one of the new ships (Heroic class) only being able to defeat 3-4 Drasin in close combat, to two pages later, the same ship defeating a good twenty or so of the Drasin, again in close combat (not using the wave guide long range weapons, which are a game changer, obviously)All in all, a good read, well worth it, and I will continue to purchase Evan's books as they come out.I do have to add that I use Evan's Warrior Wings series as a benchmark for his other books, and while this series don't quite match up to the Warrior Wings series, it is still very good (4-5 stars for every book in the series).
