Tane has travelled to Aegean Tetragon in search of the archaeoceti, a mystical race that he believes can restore Sinive to life. He is willing to pay any price to save her. Any. Unfortunately, shortly after his team arrives, he discovers that a few uninvited guests have tagged along. Now Tane must not only complete the trials the archaeoceti have laid before him, but he must outwit his hunters. Either way, he won't back down. The stakes are too high. And when Tane discovers the true price he must pay, he must make a choice that could destroy him. For he who crosses death does not do so lightly.
Isaac Hooke is the best-selling author of the Ethan Galaal series of thriller novels, as well as the SF-themed ATLAS trilogy. When Isaac isn't writing, publishing, and blogging, he's busy cycling and taking pictures in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He has a degree in Engineering Physics.
I dislike that the last 10% of the book is stats. To be honest, I would prefer either no stat list at the end, or more stats throughout the book. I understand Mr Hooke reduced stats throughout the book because readers felt it took away from the story ( I disagree because the nanotech which allows the stats is heavily involved in the story), but 10% of the book at the end is a little misleading. That's the only downside i can really see to this series
I’ve read so many Isaac Hooke books that I’ve lost track, but everything that made you love his writing before is present in He Who Crosses Death (Star Warrior Book 3), with so much detail in the writing it reads longer than its actual length
Can't get a half of star or it could be 4 1/2 stars. Gaming levels are getting interesting, but because they aren't as frequent. Take should at least level in kissing and sex now
I've read a lot of Isaac Hooke over the last few years. This is more of the same, good writing, good story development, fun battles and interesting moral choices abound.
I'm struggling to decide what I missed about the previous books in this one, but I think it's that the pace increased so much. I can't help but feel there could have been more to most of the scenes.
