I could not possibly be fucked reviewing every one of these books so this review of the last will have to suffice to contain my thoughts on what is essentially a gigantic Sci-Fi novel split into 9 parts. This is mediocre, fairly satisfying and largely pointless ending to the series. And in the end... Star Force wins, no one of consequence dies, Kyle Riggs retires to his old farm and for some reason decides to start settle for a second rate middle aged woman when he could have any girl on the planet. Yea, nah. Marvin had a lot of potential in this novel, he could have played a much more interesting role, but was, in my opinion, wasted as a prop and a story device that allowed Larson to manipulate the plot more easily, so as to save time and effort: 'A 400 ship macro fleet is on the way? No problem. Marvin!', 'We can't get through the last ring? Marvin!' 'We're all going to die in an apocalyptic final attack? Marvin!' Also the politics are stupid. It's basically, Kyle Riggs is one character, all of Earth's politicians are an opposing character referred to as 'Earth's Politicians', and that's about it, it's no more complicated than that, no intrigue, no real politics, just: I have the biggest gun, make me Emperor of Earth. Yeah, nah. Also the amount of Kyle Riggs in this book is just fucking overwhelming, I mean I know it's a first person narrative but in the name of fuck ballicking christ shite, would you give it a fucking rest with the sophomoronic philosophizing about the nature of power / corruption / rights v safety etc. I came here for a junky read because I wished to be diverted, maggot. Why did I start out by giving this piece of shit 3 stars? This is clearly a 2 star affair. Anyway, its like this: Read the first Star Force book, it's great. But for the love of God don't read the rest, or you will be enslaved into the pages of this constant cliff hanger, page turner of a Dan Simmons a la Sci-Fi trash for 100 hours of so. Fuck, just think what I could have read with that time... Thank God its over and I will never again have to read another B fucking V fucking Larson book again. Shit.
