Big book. Bigger fun.

I was originally intimidated by the size of this book. Eight hundred pages of small print is no small task, especially for a non-reader like myself. After a few months of procrastination, I finally read the first chapter and was immediately intrigued. Halfway through the first book, I was hooked. It felt like each chapter grabbed my attention for individual reasons. Whether it was an action scene, an introduction of some "conspiracy theory", colorful dialogue, or "spicy" content, each chapter is unique and left me wondering what's next. I laughed. I blushed. I fist-pumped the air. This book was so much fun and I'm completely on board for another trilogy.

Great Fun

This trilogy was lots of fun, and can be read as a big space-adventure in an alternative history Earth, with nazis, aliens, and lots of raunchy NSFW scenes. Do store it on a higher shelf, out of reach of children.

Familiarity with the author's personal history, philosophy, and other non-fiction works is not required, but enhances the experience. One can see changes of perspective between the first two books and the third one, for example.

And yes, while not ending on a cliff-hanger, it does leave the main characters, and overall galactic situation, a lot of room for further exploration.

Final book, but not quite!

All three books are included, along with the long-awaited sequel, which ties everything together, only to leave the reader hanging off a cliff.
Our hero Giona sheds his last vestiges of his earthly attitudes, ironically becoming more human the more time he spends away from his home planet. Especially when he finds himself very far from those he cared about for the forseeable future.
He's a Mary Sue but the Mary Sue we need, but not always successful. And his failures are painful.
We also learn that life is harder in space despite the advanced technology, as with progress comes nastier ways of being evil to your fellow human.
As for pacing, it flows nicely and therefore finished the book in a day and a half.
So pester the author for another sequel!
