In this final book of the series, Jack and Draycos are running out of time to stop the genocide of Draycos' entire race, the K'da. The machinery of war is lining up to annihilate the K'da spaceships that will be arriving soon, but Jack and Draycos don't know where the final rendezvous point will be. Their only hope is to follow their enemies and hope that they can warn the K'da in time.

I loved this book so much! Every book in the series is action-packed and full of mystery and danger. I loved that the plot answers all of the questions that came up in the previous books, but then new mysteries and new questions are introduced, so you are always wondering and guessing what could possible happen next. And finally everything comes together for an exciting conclusion and all our questions are explained.

Alison Kayna has become completely entangled in Draycos' plans, and it is interesting to see how this group trusts each other, but only partially. They trust each other for now, but things could change quickly as the situation unfolds. You can never quite tell if certain people are only pretending to side with the enemy as double agents, or if they have truly changed their allegiance.

Draycos' warrior ethic of always doing what is right and noble gets this ragtag group into trouble sometimes, but in the end, they fully embrace his morality and are ready to lay down their lives to save the innocent K'da. He inspires them with both physical courage and moral courage.

I love all the characters, the plot, the themes, the writing style! Everything about this series is just so delightful!
