This is a fitting, and fittingly violent, end to an amazing trilogy. Darrow, a.k.a. The Reaper of Mars, begins the book imprisoned and tortured by the Jackal. A dramatic rescue brings him home to the Reds and the hidden center of the Martian rebellion. With Sevro, Mustang, and Ragnar at his side he leads a rag tag cross section of society against the unbeatable Golds. With all the requisite setbacks and miraculous escapes the rebels must persevere against nearly impossible odds to end the Gold tyranny.
Like the previous 2 volumes this is an exciting read with plenty of action and unexpected plot twists. We are also treated to a more mature and thoughtful protagonist as Darrow becomes more focused on the future and building a more just society. Fans of the first 2 books will eat this up.
