You'll Never Look At Gold The Same Again. FINALLY, after so many years begging for this book that I finally stopped begging and just quietly assumed it would never happen, Steven Savile comes back with the explosive conclusion to the story he created in SILVER.

SILVER is easily one of the best thrillers I've read in my life, and GOLD is at least as good. The action picks up shortly after the events of SILVER, with the team still dealing with its repercussions. Except that the threat is about to be realized, and now the team must fight harder than ever to save lives before it is too late.

But with the events of SILVER looking over their heads, can they pull off the impossible, even as the odds are stacked ever more against them?

Well... read to find out :D

Despite my best efforts, I read this entire series out of order. This book was a continuation of Silver, a book released years earlier but had just been published. The publish dates did not match the series chronology. I think that Silver/Gold are meant to be read in that order and separate from the other Ogmios books but I'm just guessing here.
All that aside, this book was an exciting read. Some of the terrorist events were pretty inventive and the whole book ripped along nicely to a satisfying conclusion.

Turned out to be okay, but it had been so long since Silver, I forgot most of what happened before. I loved Silver, and found Gold to be just okay. Plus, several glaring editorial type mistakes. I am sure Gold was not self-published. Did no one proof read this? It has been out for 2 years or so. Cannot believe others have not caught these basic mistakes. Despite my misgivings, this is still a good thriller. Will we see the Ogmios Group again? I kind of hope so.
