First line:
--Central, this is Lapetus. Target in sight.
This is the final novel in the Themis Files trilogy (I reviewed the previous two novels,
Sleeping Giants and
Waking Gods.)
I'm not going to summarize the plot because I don't want to end up spoiling anything. As a concluding novel, it did everything I needed a final book to do: wrapped up plot threads, answered the mysteries, and provided some final flash bang.
As with his previous novels, I think some of Neuvel's characterizations are thin -- no doubt because the story is told through transcripts and journal entries -- and it left me a little impatient with the story.
These were fast reads, so if you want a Michael Bay-esque summer action flick in a book, this trilogy will do it.
