The Forbidden Stars

The first book in the series was very good, the second one, not quite so much. But this third book once again returned to the exciting derring-do, humor, and cosmological threats of the first book, with the great feature of wrapping up some threads left dangling from the earlier books. A super-satisfying ending to the trilogy (according to the author, he's satisfied, too), but I sincerely hope there are more stories to come. Yes, we got some resolutions in this book, and they were satisfying, for sure, but there's plenty that can go wrong before the final baddie is vanquished, even when a plan is in place. Maybe especially so. Also, there are a few new threads that can be followed...
