    With Override in hand Jared and company venture forth to stop the master AI, but as always nothing is ever easy and through adversity and adventures the group manages to stop the master AI, but this is only the beginning as they still half to deal with the xenophobic clans (the remnants of the Loyalist Empire fleets) and the Singularity. This was a fast paced book full of excitement and i look forward to the next installment.
    I did receive an advanced copy of this book for an honest review, that said i also purchased the final copy.

    Have reached the current end of the saga. Will now have to wait patiently for next installment.
    Terry continues the story with just enough action and drama to keep you turning the page, mixed with down time to catch your breath and character development.

    Great series.
    Wanted it to go on and on until all the obstacles to achieving a galactic civilization were overcome. Would really like to see follow up novels detailing more about the beings behind Obelisk World. Anyone else ready to take a flip point adventure to another galaxy?

    Terry Mixon again provides a great adventure that moves you along at lightening speed. Only bad thing about the book is that there is only one more in the series!

    Enjoyed the book. Some parts felt rushed, especially where there was overlapping activity across distances. The last fight felt like this where we have highlights for the raiding and distracting parties.
    The wrap up was nice and the stinger left a whole new set of questions and issues.
    I an looking forward to the next book.

    Good book. Good at keeping me guessing and glued to the pages. Though alas the last 3 paragraphs ruined the book for me. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I'll still read any future books though!

    4.0 out of 5 stars At long last the finale of the Empire of Bones Saga
    Reviewed in Australia on November 24, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Really liked the new ideas this series brings to the Sci-Fi genre. Based around an evil corrupted master AI plus other interesting Aliens and their Tech as well as parallel universes.

    Volume 13 was a time in coming. As far as I know the author had a bout of ill health which resulted in its delay. Was it worth the wait - yes.

    At the very end, there is a slight twist which will probably result in a new series. What that is will require you to read your own copy.
