About this listen

Award-winning author Gareth L. Powell delivers an explosive conclusion to his epic Embers of War trilogy.

Low on fuel and hunted by the Fleet of Knives, the sentient warship Trouble Dog follows a series of clues that lead her to the Intrusion - an area of space where reality itself becomes unstable. But with human civilization crumbling, what difference can one battered old ship have against an invincible armada?

Meanwhile, Cordelia Pa and her step-brother eke out their existence salvaging artifacts from an alien city. But when Cordelia starts hearing the city’s song in her head, strange things start happening around her. What extraordinary affinity does she have for this abandoned technology, and how can it possibly help the Trouble Dog?

It’s an interesting story but it felt like the author got bored by book 3 and rushed an ending by bringing in a character that should have been involved from the beginning plus the trouble dog and here crew were just there as bystanders.
Have to admit the continuity errors through the series like a historian becoming a physicist and the marine rescued by the captain knowing the doctor on the other side of a war longer just irritated me

Interesting story

Yep pretty good over all. Worth a listen, especially as the first two books are in the plus catalogue

Sure it was pretty good

It feels as if the author got carried away in book 2 then realised he had only three books to tell the story in and introduced and rushed a character who should have been introduced sooner.

So disappointing.

Rushed

I love Gareth's writing, the way every book focuses on the characters, their humanity (well, maybe not so much 'humanity' for Trouble Dog), his world building at such scale. It translated well into Audiobook format which was perfect for the commute.

It's a shame it had to end, but looking forward to what Gareth starts next.

Brilliant conclusion to a universe spinning saga

The first two books weren’t bad. I enjoyed the characters Trouble Dog and Nod but I was disappointed with this final book of the series. Introducing new significant characters, one with superhero powers to save the day was really poor. The book irritated me the longer it went on.

Disappointing

I still found the Ona narrator to be like an AI. the story wasn't as great and there were a few plot holes as well as annoying repetitive descriptions of hair and eye colour. A lot was just convenient.

not the best book 3
