I received a free ARC of this audiobook from the author and have reviewed it willingly.
Time to draw all the pieces together, but will our heroes come out on top? If not, worlds are going to burn.
This is book five of the series and the conclusion. I do not recommend starting here.
The book is well written, easy to read and just plain fun. Things are tense with all of the plot elements coming together for the final showdown. The characters are definitely put through their paces in this fast paced story, making this a real page turner. Overall, a very enjoyable story and an excellent conclusion to the saga.
Highly recommended.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes.
I’ve commented before that many things in this book seemed attributable to luck, or being in the right place at the right time (or wrong place at the wrong time as the case might be). In this thrilling conclusion to the series, success is dependent on hard earned skills and every member of the team giving their best – and in some cases their all. With so many ways for things to go horribly wring and only a tiny chance of success if EVERYTHING comes together just right, this is a nail-biting, edge of your seat adventure you won’t want to put down!
Ogden does a masterful job of weaving together threads that have been building through the series into this conclusion and tying up all sorts of loose ends. Super fast paced read with a good balance of tension, suspense and danger broken up with humor. The characters are so well written, you really feel for them whether it is to celebrate their success or feel satisfaction when they finally get their comeuppance. Excellent character growth. While this book has a satisfying conclusion – both to the major crisis and to several character arcs, there is also potential left for future stories in this universe. I would love to see this made as a TV show or movie.
This is the final book in the Star Scavenger series. It was written as a whole and must be read in order. If you haven’t started them yet, what are you waiting for? If you have read the previous books, you know you can’t wait to see how it all ends, why are you wasting you time reading these reviews?
The end is here and what a way to end it all. The characters I both loved and hated throughout the series are here and all have a part to play. I love Hudson and love how he has ended up in the middle of everything and so important to saving the universe. I loved the action, pacing and how it all ends. This story like the rest of the series just grabs your attention and keeps it to the end. Just a fun fast paced story that I really enjoyed.
Back in the beginning, the reader learned the mission of Goliath that gives us an idea of what’s happening now. The great ship Goliath’s mission was to “cleanse” certain planets of organic life. It had been prevented from completing the mission and banished to the galactic core, but being sentient, it grew bitter at not completing the task. For thousands of years, it thought about its mission. The last Revocater vessel, the only thing that could ever stop Goliath, had been able to stop it and destroyed any hope of its navigating to the target system 5118208. But Goliath knew the last Revocater had perished in the process so Goliath waited for the right time to continue that original mission, not aware that “Morphus”, as named by the human Liberty Devan, had actually survived. Although Morphus had been only been a tiny speck, one of hundreds of artificial constructs created to operate the Revocaters, it survived and had begun to make an adjustment to its programming, because to defeat Goliath again, it had to change itself and evolve. Two powerful opponents preparing to fulfill their missions.
As the Corporeals watched all of this through The Telescope, orbiting above their home world, powerless to intervene, the unthinkable happened as they saw Goliath come out of its prison and begin a relentless course back to System 5118208. The moment dreaded for eons was here! Yet in the midst of darkness there was now hope. The last Revocater thought to be destroyed seemed to be alive, and it was coming home!

Hudson Powell and Tory Bellona are still searching for Logan Griff and the crystal. Without the alien crystal, stolen by Logan Griff, there is no hope of defeating the great ship. Morphus and Liberty are heading back to Earth with a weapon to help defeat Goliath, but again, without the crystal the odds of victory are slim.
Now the fate of Earth will be determined. Only The Last Revocater can hope to defeat Goliath, and the great ship’s entire devastating anger is about to be unleashed. Will the Revocater Morphus be ready to battle Goiath? Will it have whatever it needs to stop Goliath once more? Grab your copy and hope that Morphus can save us!
“Hope can be powerful; Hope matters.”

What a fun ride, a rollercoaster indeed! Such a pity it’s the last of the series. I’m sad it has to end. It had me wanting for more. The flow of the book is excellent. The story itself is dark and tremendous, but the author does a fantastic job of keeping it light with humour and levity. The characters grew on me, and got hold of my heart, even the villains, as bad and evil as they were, had a comical side with them. This series was like watching great films like Batman, Superman, it read like a comic also, so full of adventures and misadventures. Action filled, dramatic scenes with a doom like end of the galaxy feeling..many unsuspecting and twisted events that kept me at the edge of my seat. From beginning to end, it has been a wild, fun, daunting, exciting and thrilling experience, an apotheosis. The end is suspicious, to say the least! Lol. I highly recommend it!
