badseedgirl's review against another edition
4.0
Deep Sky by Patrick Lee is the final installment in “The Breach” series. This novel is both more and less than I expected. Let me state that I did not realize this was the final novel in the series and so the ending came as an even bigger surprise because it was the end. And oh what an ending! There is no way I will talk about this ending, except to say that once I thought the novel was over, the last couple pages Blew. My. Mind.
Now these novels are never going to win any awards, they are “light” fiction, but sometimes that is all a reader needs. There is action and mystery, and Mr. Lee is able to keep the reader guessing. This was a wonderful series and although I am going to miss Tangent and The Breach, I think the ending was well worth the disappointment.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series. It was fresh and exciting. The second book, Ghost Country, was okay. I stated in my review that it lacked the punch of the first novel, which is true for Deep Sky too. However, Deep Sky was by far the least enjoyable for me. Towards the end, it just became weird and felt rushed.
The science is science-fiction, which is okay since I am not reading a biography. However, the final few chapters greatly increased the science-fiction and went off in a direction that I did not enjoy. The story ends open-ended and left me high and dry. I wanted to rate Deep Sky 2.5 stars, but when I considered the series overall, I realised that it might be a bit harsh. I generally got enjoyment from reading the series, even though some elements left me a bit disappointed.
Should you read the series? It depends. The Travis Chase series is like vanilla ice cream. Some people don't eat anything else. If you are a vanilla ice cream person, read it. You will have fun. However, I am more of a Woolworths Tin Roof ice cream kind of guy - lots of vanilla, but with nuts and chocolate sauce to make it just a little more interesting.

Very creative final book in Patric Lee's Breach trilogy. Really liked this series - lots of action and mind-bending (but logical, within his world) twists.

Nice twisty trilogy. High body count, though. Like the mix of genres.

Excellent. Accidentally picked this 3rd in a trilogy up in a book sale, but had no trouble following it. Hooked til the end.
