The fifth and penultimate novel in David Hagberg’s re-imagined Flash Gordon series picks up just after book 4, Flash Gordon: Forces From The Federation. Flash, Dale, and Dr. Zarkov, now fugitives from Earth’s justice, find themselves once again caught up in the tumultuous events of the War of the Citadels. But now it’s even worse because the “Old Ones” have returned from the Andromeda galaxy, the original creators of the vast Citadel worlds. The fate of the galaxy has never been more in danger.
This book is filled with sci-fi action, much of it involving Flash and friends reacting to one dangerous situation after another. But it’s not entirely hopeless due to Flash’s command of a futuristic hi-tech spacecraft, the Intrepid. Surgical strikes against the enemy might stall events enough for the rebuilding of the super-advanced Ultimus, a planetoid-sized war machine that might be able to stop their foes. Of course, we don’t get resolution here as this book’s purpose is to set up the finale in book 6 and in fact, we get a huge cliffhanger.
These books must be read in order. All six books are really just one large story and I doubt readers would be able to start anywhere but with the first book for it to make any sense. There is a nice summary of events in the prologue, but you’d really be missing out if you start here.
