1. Intriguing basic plot around a woman helping alient investigators to find a stolen artifact on earth
2. Overpowered main character (does well at everything)
3. Turns into a harem-style book with boyfriend and mother-in-law

There are actually some good ideas I here, but the book has little coherence as an integrated approach.

It's a bunch of ChatGPT answers pasted in sequence with no linking of ideas or editing.

This Present Darkness Audiolibro Por Frank E. Peretti arte de portada

I read this book years ago and thought I'd enjoy hearing it again.

But this abridged recording is so trimmed that it lacks any emotional engagement at all. Characters aren't developed, context is lost and the story lacks most of its narrative weight.

I couldn't recommend this edition, but I see there is a full recording of the unabridged version I look forward to hearing.

Leading a church, foundation or other Christian organisation?
Want to do life in community with input from others?

Here's a book that integrates the way you connect with God as an individual with how groups can hear to God collectively.

If you're keen on spiritual formation and community, and have a leadership role or other role of influence, I highly recommend this book.

Tom Thrush is a likeable troublemaker who is thrust into an interplanetary war before his training is even finished.

Through a combination of talent and grit he manages to survive and make a significant difference, only to end up disappointing his command oversight.

I enjoy all the books in the series, but felt "Prison Planet" and "Black Destroyer" were weaker episodes. In particular, Black Destroyer seemed to repeat some of the experiences Tom had already been through and lacked some of the novelty and narrative drive of the previous books.

A compelling little novella with strong characters and a sense of peril and intrigue.

I listened to this just before falling asleep and had some very weird dreams about time travel paradoxes 😀

A fine ending with some flaws

I've enjoyed this series, so I was a bit disappointed by some narrative flaws in this closing story.

Brief summary: All the different realms Alex and his team have explored come together in this finale, as the "known" galaxy takes bold steps towards peace and prosperity.

Most of the flaws were from points of plot tension that didn't quite fit the broader narrative. (Warning: spoilers)
i) Apparently they can permanently block a dome Q-gate simply by leaving a block on the platform. Why then in previous books were there such significant armed defences of Colony-oriented gates?
ii) Kasie's lack of control appears to be overplayed. Ophelia and all other empaths appear to be able to control their emissions, but Kasie always seems to be slipping up. Similarly, in the dome investigations, she is continually impulsive and resistant, more like a teenager than an adult working as part of a team.
iii) The SADEs who are the most curious and thorough entities in the books, fail to thoroughly explore the resources in the dome basement, multiple times. This seems quite bizarre in a prioritised effort to explore and understand something. Why wouldn't just one SADE be left to unpack, inventory and document all the equipment?
iv) The SADEs can't back themselves up - destruction of their kernels would result in their death. Except in this book, they suddenly can backup and restore? Why, through all previous books, would they fear their mortality? When was this breakthrough discovered/enabled?
v) Travellers and SADEs have strong visual, heat and electromagnetic tracking capabilities (as frequently displayed in conflicts or when fighting the Colony) and yet there seems to be no real-time tracking (or even imagery) of the assassins? (not just from Alex's Traveller, but also from the other travellers flying overwatch)
vi) The (Meridien) killers of the assassins are sent to their deaths by their employers - and yet are strangely completely loyal to them until they are threatened to be sent off to fight the Colony?

I feel Jucha was more thorough in avoiding plot holes like these in the previous books in the series.

Overall, however, it was a good tying together of all the various threads that have been developed in the series.

A good space drama, clear introductory to a larger series but still a fun read.

However, the narrator often feels like he's teaching the book. He does different voices well but the tone often has a "let me tell you this fact" sense to it that takes you out of the story.

Alex has become an admiral, leading a ship that is fighting back against mysterious invaders. He is brilliant and courageous, the stakes are high and the time is short. A fun read.
