We always thought the biggest threat to humanity would come from the outside. We were wrong. As the human race picks up the pieces of destruction left behind, a new world order emerges. New alliances are formed. Old divisions are strengthened. And, with a power struggle fuelled by the threat of mutually assured destruction, nothing is certain. At a time when the world's nations should have been coming together, they have never been more divided. With the human race teetering on the brink of total war, Rose, Vincent and Eva must choose sides. But doing the right thing might mean making the ultimate sacrifice.

(Audiobook listener) This book took a pretty deep twist into the political and societal commentary and introduces a new language. It was enjoyable and wrapped up the story quite nicely but the bulk of the book seemed to be influenced by the political climate. The narration ov Eva sounded like she was raised in Brooklyn rather than Puerto Rico and had some issue with pronouncing ‘R' sounds (or maybe that was to leave the impression that she was still a kid?)
A nice cap to a series that I have enjoyed very much, even though parallels to our current situation were sometimes painful and extremely on-the-nose.
Small niggle: I wish her father had taught Eva some human swear words, the single alien one gets old really fast.
I think this series started off very strong and ended better than it could have.
Round ‘em up, robot
or, “is genocide that bad?”
spoiler: it's the worst.
