Vu-Hak War #3

Trinity Evolution

Rate this book
HUMANITY REBOOTED?

The survivors of the Vu-Hak nuclear destruction of Earth have arrived in a distant galaxy, fifteen thousand years in the past. They have settled on a moon orbiting a gas giant in a binary star the world from which the Vu-Hak did — will — launch its murderous assault on Earth.

While the survivors search for the ancestors of their attackers, adult humans are being grown from embryonic stem cells under Cain’s direction. Others are cloned and all are pre-loaded with the entirety of human knowledge. Genetically upgraded and biologically enhanced, these ‘post-humans’ will ensure the future of the race.

Kate Morgan now in a cloned body, is about to meet her resurrected daughter. Before that, she must communicate with the Vu-Hak that has taken over William Hubert’s mind. The last time this was attempted, Adam Benedict nearly died. The tiny band of survivors and their newborn charges need Kate to learn everything she can from the stowaway Vu-Hak — because its ancestors are nowhere to be found. Locating them is a priority for the survivors or all will be for nothing.

Meanwhile … something unforeseen is happening as a result of the machine-biological interface within the post-humans … and there are unexpected developments elsewhere in the solar system too.

Is the galaxy as uninhabited as it seems?

This is the riveting conclusion to the ‘Trinity Trilogy’ . It won the Bronze Medal in the Global Book Awards 2021 and is a finalist for the Cygnus Award for Science Fiction, 2021. Like ‘Trinity’s Legacy’ and ‘Trinity’s Fall’ before it, ‘Trinity Evolution’ was an Amazon #1Bestseller.

‘Readers cannot get enough of this series as they blow through all three books and leave asking for more.’ - Richard Brown, The American Reporter

I’m a full-time cancer physician (Medical Oncologist). I was born in Newcastle, UK and moved to Brisbane, Australia in 2004. My professional writing credits include over 200 publications including peer-reviewed research papers, journals, book chapters, conference contributions and electronic outputs in the field of Cancer Research.

I’ve always loved sci-fi and dreamed about being an author in this genre as long as I can remember. My reading faves include ‘old school’ legends such as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Dan Simmons and Frank Herbert, but I devour almost everything by Alastair Reynolds, Neal Stephenson and Kim Stanley Robinson. Recently I’ve gotten into Richard Morgan and Ann Leckie, and try really, really hard to like Peter F. Hamilton. Also, every time Lee Child brings out a new Reacher I set aside a weekend to just immerse myself in that fabulous character’s mind and world.

It may be a cliché, but yes, I am a Star Wars, Marvel and Tolkien tragic, so if not working or reading or writing, you’ll find me rewatching these movies… and trying to out-quote my two daughters (I usually don’t win).

Finally, I keep fit by cycling as much as I can, and I meditate to stay sane and keep everything in perspective and balanced. My wife, Andrea, can tell you how successful I am at the latter…

A well-written and fascinating sci-fi story...

Forty-some years ago my uncle gave me a science fiction anthology. It was a thick red hardback that I read from cover to cover. It inspired a lifelong love of the genre. The stories in that book made me think outside the box. They filled me with awe for the imagination it took to write them. That book still remains in my collection today. The title is OMNIBUS OF SCIENCE FICTION, edited by Groff Conklin, a well-known and prolific editor of the genre. It was published in 1952, the Golden Age of Science Fiction. It’s a substantial volume, 562 pages, with 43 stories divided into sections relating to a common theme. Some stories are fun, some are thought-provoking, and some are adventurous. I love them all.

TRINITY EVOLUTION: Vu-Hak War Book 3 by PA Vasey is a superbly written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters and settings. The threads of storytelling are expertly woven in this unique and fascinating sci-fi that it guarantees the attention of the reader. It had me turning the pages from beginning to end. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction. There’s also plenty of imagery in the writing style that makes you feel you are right there in the story, and that’s something I look for in a good book.

This was a fascinating and captivating read that had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of attention-grabbing moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a truly mesmerizing journey. Highly recommended!

This is the third of a trilogy, and I had not read the first two, so I can answer the question, does it matter if you have not? Overall, it is obvious that there is some background missing, but presumably was present in the earlier ones, but if you are prepared to take the situation in the first chapters at face value, I don’t think it matters too much. Trinity is a planet (technically a moon) around a gas giant in a distant solar system. The story follows Kate, her daughter cloned from some DNA, and a number of other humans who are trying to defend themselves against the Vu-Hak, a sort of ephemeral race, of which they have one representative that has taken over one body. Where are the rest? At the same time, a sentient android using Vu-Hak technology is busy helping the humans by creating a huge number with enhanced properties. What could go wrong? Actually, lots.
The writing is clear, and better still, it is not padded. The plot goes ahead at a good clip, the action is well described as is the background where relevant. The problems arising from the genetically engineered “humans Mark 2” are not hugely surprising, but there is a surprising development towards the end that I did not see coming. No spoiling, but the surprise, the way the story progressed nicely, and the absence of irrelevant musings of the author meant this is strongly recommended.

Sci-Fi At Its Best

Trinity Evolution: Vu-Hak War Book 3 by P.A. Vasey is the third narrative and offering under the Trinity labeled series.

This particular volume builds on the previous volumes penned but, in itself, is a quality stand-alone writing that captures the science fiction plot imagined by the writer and brought to life for the reader on its pages.

Specifically, the destruction of earth has occurred and the Vu-Hak nuclear destruction of the planet finds the survivors of the holocaust being relocated in a distant galaxy. On the time continuum, the relocation has occurred 15,000 years before the destruction of earth. The survivors have settled on an orbiting moon that has not a one-star system but two suns.

The thrillling plot is that the survivors of the Vu-Hak disaster will try to intercede in the future destruction of the earth because they have arrived prior 15,000 years before its demise. So the quest is on to find the ancestors of those attackers and prevent the future destruction of earth.

Added to the mix is the scientific discovery and implementation of cloning in which those that are cloned are downloaded with human knowledge. The concept of these clones and being genetically enhanced will ensure the future of the citizens of earth with their intervention of future events.

Of course, like all quality reads and novels, Trinity Evolution: Vu-Hak War Book 3 is not without its surprises and twists and delves the reader deeper into the engaging story. In this particular volume, it would seem that the technology being blended with humanity holds a few surprises coupled with the possible reality that other "life" may exist.

With the storyline being a significant number of years earlier, there is the unique narrative of relatives and specifically a mother and daughter meeting each other before they became actually mother and daughter. Interesting!

Trinity Evolution: Vu-Hak War Book 3 by P.A. Vasey is a marvelous gift to the avid science fiction reader. If the other two volumes have been read, this third offering will not disappoint.

The author is very skillful in weaving an engaging and exciting story that is sure to maintain the reader's imagination and attention. His vocabulary is truly descriptive and brings the imaginative story to life. Also, as a wonderful addition, his command of medical terminology and experience adds a specialness to the narrative.

I really enjoyed reading Trinity Evolution by P.A. Vasey. It is the third book of the Trinity trilogy. (Even without having read the first two, I still could pick up the story.) I was hooked right from the beginning when the narrator says, "I waited for death, but the Reaper does not call."

The trilogy is a thriller about the future of the human species. The author, being a doctor, knows enough science and medicine to make the fictitious technical passages sound believable. A couple of times I did feel as if I was in a commercial hearing someone talk about juicedratic equations, though.

The novel is written by a man from a woman's POV. For the most part, I didn't notice this except in two places: At one point, Kate (the narrator) changes her clothes and she says that she put on "a figure-hugging outfit." Most women would not describe their own clothes that way. Later, Kate sits down and says, "I slid my ass across" the couch. Because the author was born in the UK and now lives in Australia, some expressions are a little off. Other expressions are just errors (like "predominately" instead of "predominantly" and "comprised of" instead of "composed of"). It also referred to a game of "snakes and ladders," which is the British name for a game that was sold in the U.S. as "Chutes and Ladders."

The book brings up ideas that are worth mulling over even after the book is finished. One of my favorite lines is this: "Forever" is a gift craved by all until it's won.

Now I will have to read the first two novels in the trilogy, however!

The Vu-Hak wars continue in Trinity Evolution. The Vu-Hak have destroyed the earth but some humans have survived and are now relocated (through some nifty Science Fiction time warping) fifteen thousand years into their own past. They are not on earth anymore, but on a small moon in a binary system. Building an outpost and a new home for the remnants of their civilization, the survivors come across an unexpected consequence of their time travel: The predecessors of the Vu-Hak are nearby and with that an opportunity. Will the humans make the right choices? What is interfering with their technology? And is their new home base truly as safe as they believe?
An interesting third entry into this journey, I suggest reading the other books first in order not to get lost in the technology that is commonly used. The story flowed well, and I found it entertaining. There were some interesting ethical questions posed in this book which I think the author did a good job of exploring.

Our author PA Vasey returns with the third book of the trinity evolution. Vu-Hak War Book 3. The survivors from Vu- Hack have arrived in a distant galaxy, and while trying to have a life orbiting a gas giant in a binary star system. Adult humans are being grown from embryonic stem cells and trying to ensure the future of the race. Suddenly something happens because of the machine-biological interface within the growing humans and unexpected things keep happening. Will the galaxy be uninhabited?
I am very pleased with this trilogy. Vasey’s imagination is wonderful, and he was able to translate every detail of this new world. Sci-fi meets mystery and futuristic details to create this universe. The reading is very interesting and easy to follow up. I highly recommend this novel and can’t wait for the next story.

The Vu-Hak is a war book written by one of my favorite authors, PA VASEY. Although I am not a big fan of war books, I couldn’t resist reading this one. Having read the first two parts already, the third part has left the other two ways behind in storytelling and character development. The writing style of the author reflects his credentials and the clarity with which he uses the medical terminologies.

The thing which kept me hooked until the third part is the nuances and details with which the author has described the story. The pace of the story is balanced, and it does not seem rushed even till the third part. I could not think of any better ending to the trilogy as the author has given. To create an altogether entire new universe with negligent plot holes shines throughout the book. It is undoubtedly one of the best works produced in the world of sci-fi.

This is the third book in a trilogy. I haven’t read the first two books, but the author did a good job of getting me up to speed on relevant history to make this a good stand alone.
It's a long read with an evolving storyline. There is one major point that started to become obvious. I thought it would be the big reveal at the end of the book, but it wasn’t. The story acknowledges the surprise well before the end, and uses it for another plot line.
The author stays true to the first person singular perspective, which I appreciate. I find it distracting when narration jumps.
This is an imaginative story with a lot of suspense. I found the characters likable, believable and engaging. I recommend this book.

Survival for Life

What a journey! Even though this is book three in the series, the reader can tell that things have progressed and humans are growing or getting resurrected in a “different body”. The survivors, having been taken back 15,000 years, are figuring out ways to survive the ancestors that led to Earth’s destruction in the now distant future. Fast-paced and emotional, I was able to fully immerse myself in the action, and could feel those emotions running high as they go through their struggles and battles to give the human race a chance at survival as well as a chance to change the future. I enjoyed this book more than I expected to and encourage others to give the series a try.

War or evolution
This passionate science fiction reader and writer has surprised me again with the third instalment in the saga Vu-Hak War. In this third book, “Trinity Evolution”, he continues the story of the people who survived to the destruction of planet Earth and how they have found a place to settle and evolve in a remote part of the galaxy.
Once more, Paul A. Vasey amazes his readers with a wonderful story. The plot is skilfully developed page after page and the twists and turns in it make it compelling. The more I read, the more I got into the story until I was convinced the events in the book could really happen. Although it is a science fiction tale, it is very realistic and believable. This shows the author’s mastery of the genre. I recommend it.

Trinity Evolution (Vu-Hak War #3) by P.A. Vasey is a well-written science fiction novel that grabs your attention from the beginning pages. A nuclear disaster has taken place on Earth, and the story unfolds nicely from there. Though a long book, it keeps you engrossed in the action. The writing is highly descriptive, creating each scene and imbuing the characters with emotion. Kate in particular is a well constructed and strong character. There's a ton of time travel, world-building, and excitement to keep you interested while reading. If you're a fan of evocative science fiction, this is the perfect book for you. For those new to the genre, this book is a fantastic introduction. Highly recommend.

In “Trinity Evolution: Vu-Hak War Book 3”, I encountered a lot of attention-grabbing moments. The storyline goes about a galaxy, humans being resurrected in different bodies, the search of how to prevent the destruction of the Earth and so much more!

Author PA Vasey knows his ways with words, making this narration very enthralling and enjoyable. The suspense was very well built, progressively turning into action scenes. As a reader, I think the timing of the events kept me reading, wanting to know how things will end.

To conclude, I think the author managed to develop a very original scenario. For all sci-fi lovers this is a very good read to delight in.

What a great science fiction story!
PA Vasey is the author of "TRINITY EVOLUTION"; this is the third book in the Vu-Hak War series. After the survivors of Earth's Vu-Hak nuclear destruction have settled in a distant galaxy, many struggle to search for the ancestors of their attackers.
From the prologue, I knew that this story would catch my attention. The twists and turns of this reading made it hard for me to stop reading. I loved the world building of this series and I must admit that the descriptions of the scenes are spectacular. I highly recommend this great science fiction novel to all people wanting to travel to distant galaxies.

I had a great time reading Trinity Evolution by P.A. Vasey. This is the third book of the Trinity Trilogy, and even though I hadn’t read the first two, I still could understand the whole story.

This was an irresistible interstellar adventure as only Vasey could deliver. This book is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival, while taking us to places we have never dreamed of going.

Trinity is so fascinating and propulsive that it’s downright addictive. I was hooked from the first page. Thrilling doesn’t even begin to describe Trinity Evolution, which is undisputedly the best book I have read in a very, very long time. I highly recommend reading it!

Trinity Evolution is the third installment of the riveting Trinity trilogy by author P.A Vasey.
The main plot is related to the future of human species and the themes of science, evolution and medicine are at play in the 36 chapters. Being a sequel, the main conflict of the previous book, Vu-Hak War, continues here.
The author's writing style is on point, with sequences of events that flow smoothly but not slowly.
What I really liked about this narrative is the fact that even though this is science fiction, a couple of ethical and moral questions appear mingled in the pages.
When we talk about the perfect page-turner, this book has all the qualities to absorb attention for a long time.

A sci-fi, action-packed novel
“Trinity evolution: Vu-Hak War” is the 3rd part of this compelling sci-fi novel penned by P.A. Vasey. When I started reading, I couldn´t put it down!
The idea of a second opportunity for the human race was really enticing; the idea of another inhabited planet, as well. I wanted to know more about the possibilities and the experiments inside the story.
It is a well-developed novel with complex but dynamic characters. I liked the way the scenes are described, while I was reading, I felt inside this futurist setting. It´s definitely and action-packed novel with lots of twists and surprises that won´t let you stop reading.

Sci-fi thriller

This story is fast paced and filled with drama and suspense. When survivors of earth’s destruction are relocated to a safe haven 15000 years in the past, they must find a way to survive the ancestors of those who destroyed earth in the future. This is book 3 in the series and has some really great characters and scene descriptions. The action is swift and the emotions run high as you are pulled through this battle to give humans a second chance at living. I found this one to be very enjoyable and recommend you give this series a chance.

This is the third book in the Vu-Hak War series. Trinity evolution, written by PA Vasey is a long read that lacks nothing. It has it all, a war in a distant galaxy, suspense, action and more.
Along thirty-six chapters, the author captured my attention from beginning to end. There were no details left to chance and there’s suspense at every turn of the page.
Descriptions of setting and characters are great. Each character was completely developed. Also, it has plenty of dialogues, which made me immerse in the reading even more, feeling as part of the plot. I would recommend reading it.

Trinity Evolution by PA Vasey caught my attention at first glance. Although a book should not be judged by the cover, I must say that I did it this time and I wasn’t wrong.
This is the third book in the series called Vu-Hak War. This science fiction story got me reading almost non stop at the edge of my seat. I noticed that I was immersed in the read many times.
What I would like to point out is the author’s narrative and the good plot he created and developed. Without spoiling anything, I want to say that I really liked this read. I believe it is a must for those fans of the genre.

Mind blowing

Well written story about a world in another galaxy that humans have colonized after running from a terrible battle with a cruel alien species. An AI from the alien species is creating clones to populate the planet, but at what cost? Great read

Action all the way, plenty of mind-bending science but still a strong focus on characters. Questions about humanity that will linger long after you finish this third instalment in the series.
