4.4 out of 5 stars 309 ratings

Twice, Admiral Michael Scott has led the crew of his ship, Leonidas, to victory over the forces of the genocidal Exterminators, but these victories only bought time, time for him to execute a last, desperate bid to save humanity from its remorseless foe, a mission into the depths of unknown space following a message left behind by the last civilization destroyed by the Exterminators. Venturing far into unchartered territory, Admiral Scott and his crew stand alone, the last, best hope of all mankind for survival. There can be no surrender. There will be no mercy. Only victory, or death…

    Darkspace is the final book in the Stars Aflame series and the series as a whole has been quite good: humanity versus the superior tech of an alien race is a tried and tested theme in science fiction. But even I have to admit to feeling a little let down by Darkspace's ending - it felt a little anti-climatic. I won't go into detail suffice to say that while Darkspace had plenty of action and the sense of adventure that Richard Tongue is known for, it wasn't up to the same 5-star level that I had given the previous 2 books. However, it is still worth a read, if not because it is the final book in the series :)

    This series was a little more original than most... it starts off in familiar ground, but goes into some unexpected areas. The whole trilogy is available, so go ahead and get them.

    This book took me from hopeless to extreme joy for the crew to save humanity from any enemy destined to destroy it.

    Some parts were a little frustrating, but the ending brought it all together. Ending was a surprise, but resolved the story.

    Good read all 3 books ...nothing worse than a 10 million year old intelligence telling you where to go and how to do it ...once again the human race wins ...would have liked an epiphany for the CIB(CENTRAL Intelligence Being)...and a way of peace without violence...after all we're better than that ...aren't we?

    Battles were a little repetitive. Not sure if you can dodge a laser beam a million times, but it was entertaining.

    Not sure what to say about this book, can't say it was boring but it has taken me getting on for four months to read. I read all previous books in days if not hours, this did not grip me as previous books did. Seemed to be moralising rather than entertainment.
