For those who have read the first two books in the trilogy, this is the grand finale. The Armstrong Twins and AFGC, Lear and Caligula, BZRK, Burnofsky, the Bug Man, Plath and Keats... Everyone is in it for the endgame. What will cause the end of the world? The gray goo? The nanobots? The biots? Nuclear destruction caused by personnel driven insane by bots in their brains? Or perhaps the good buys will be able to stop it in time. Who are the good guys? Just when you think you might have it figured out, another layer gets peeled back and another player ups the ante.

If you haven't read the first two books, there are many references to previous events and many of the characters' motives are linked to those earlier actions and their repercussions. It might be too complicated to come in at this point and fully enjoy the story without that background knowledge. I would recommend reading the books in order. The original foundation of the story will explain how the nanobots and biots were first developed, how something meant as a medical intervention could become a means of terrorism, and the demons driving all the key players to try and remake the world as they wish.

Those who enjoy techno-thrillers, techno-apocalyptic stories, and sci-fi set in the present or very near future will probably want to read the series and try to figure out who the bad guys are for themselves.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
