War Dogs Book 3
The final chapter, Venn and company are on their way to the Antag homeworld (the Sun-Planet), in a Guru built (grown?) ship. The new allies have a goal of saving both the Sun-Planet and Earth from Guru/Keeper meddling once and for all. But even at this point in the story, no one really understands what is going on with this alien life form. So as a reader, we are are also given hints about some crazy alien-ness that puts us in Venn's shoes of perpetual confusion. The first half of this final installment is really good, carrying the story forward. But after that, I began to get the sense that there wasn't really a way to end this well. That is, with clever resolution. So while there is ultimately resolution, I was left flat at the end. I will still recommend the trilogy overall since the vision of the aliens in our solar system is astounding.
3 stars (out of 4)
