Continuen les aventures d'en Kyle Roberts en la guerra contra la Terra i els seus afanys annexionistes. El llibre segueix la tònica dels anteriors, és de fàcil lectura, aventura i acció continuada i segueixes tenint la sensació d’estar veient una peli d’acció de Hollywood, però aquest cop, el llibre ha sigut menys sorprenent que els dos anteriors i s’ha centrat més en la mirada militar de la saga que en els personatges en si (tot i que s’hi desenvolupen certes sub trames interessants). Fins i tot en un moment donat passa quelcom rellevant (no diré que per evitar spoilers) però passa massa ràpid i sense connexió emocional amb el lector, cosa que li resta versemblança al llibre.

En general segueixo recomanant la lectura del llibre, no m’he avorrit en cap moment i no se m’ha fet pesat, però comença a notar-se certes mancances en l’autor a l’hora de desenvolupar una història tant llarga. No sembla concebuda des de l’inici per ser tant llarga, sembla més que s’ha allargat artificialment la història per convertir-la en sèrie, cosa que es comença a notar i que no es notava gens en les dues anteriors entregues. Veurem com van les tres parts que manquen!

An OK read but too technically focused for me. I would far rather read about characters then how millions of missiles are destroyed.

A lot of people have liked this book and with good reason, there is a lot of action here. However, I keep hoping for that unique writer who addresses the new future mindsets trying to understand the questions no one has had to answer before. Not here. All the action is space combat with missiles and various kinds of anti missiles which are all of various generations of make. The action picked up in the last half with some good complications, but the dialogue didn't. In the beginning it was straight out of a John Wayne war movie. It eventually improved but there was way too much trite soul-searching, oh-I-hate-being-a-hero, and I'm-going-to-live-to-get-to-know-you. Other than a brush with a couple of interesting space religions and the missile battles, not much new here.
