Le hubiese puesto una extrella y media pero lo dejaremos en dos. Un final triste para una serie que funcionaba casi mejor sin explicaciones que con ellas.

I little confusing...possibly because I read the other 2 books in the series so long ago.

Great conclusion to the series! It's tough to write a satisfying ending to a Sci fi trilogy, but Lee did as good a job as you could ask for.

Leaves you with a question that invokes a deceptively simple response but should keep you awake long into the night.

The conclusion of the trilogy depends on even more revelations and super technology than the earlier two books. The Tap, in particular, reminiscent of Harry Potter's Pensieve, seems very contrived. The ending, while satisfyingly mysterious, brings back every college philosophy discussion you've ever had. But who am I to be superior? It was a good read.

Deep Sky is more science fiction than its previous two counterparts, [b:The Breach|6987527|The Breach (Travis Chase, #1)|Patrick Lee|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388189298s/6987527.jpg|7229688] and [b:Ghost Country|8479092|Ghost Country (Travis Chase, #2)|Patrick Lee|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1393478102s/8479092.jpg|13344068], but it is not over the top. I don't read science fiction all that often because I find they are just a little too 'weird', but Patrick Lee does a fantastic job of balancing political power struggles, a thrilling race against the clock, and alien technology that is constantly aiding and abetting the protagonists. I find that any author who attempts to tackle a worm hole / time and space conundrum only ends up confusing me and frustrating my brain. It is a difficult topic to discuss in serious situations, and even more difficult when you are trying to make it entertaining. I think Lee does this really well. I finished the book with a bit of a headache, but because I was trying to wrap my mind around the "time and space are the same thing" concept, more than I was confused by the storyline.
I guess I will just come right out and say it.... If you didn't like the ending, you didnt understand it.
Now obviously this is not a book to reveal spoilers on, because there are at least two really great "OMG" moments that you need to just experience for youself, but I think one of the better ways to view this series is not linearly. I think it is easier to conceptualize the novels as more of a circle, or as timelines that are always going to run into each other and collide into this plot that makes your brain explode when you try and put it into formal words.
Like the previous two books in the series, there is a single Breach entity that is the driving force behind the story line. In Deep Sky, it is the Tap, a hell of a thing, that allows the user to visit any memory, but also manipulate it by reliving a different experience. I really like the entities. I think they are so damn creative, and interesting, and really add to the story.
Finally, as a last and final point on why I like these books: the two main characters, Travis and Paige, are together as a couple, but there are no instances where the books are romantic at all. I liked the fact that they were together romantically and as a team against 'the bad guys', but it does not overshadow any other aspect of the story. I just think they are a great power couple and it made me happy that they ended up together.
Overall, props to Patrick Lee. This is a fantastic sereis, and kept me hooked from the first page, until three days after I finished the damn thing. I am still thinking about it! I also loved the narrator on the audio book, I thought he did a really good job with voices and inflections.

Spoilers ahead.
Sorry to see this short series of 3 books finished. Premise: Using a Very Large Ion Collider, a team of scientists open a wormhole (The Breach) into somewhere. It periodically spits out a bunch of thingamajigs that are way beyond our technology like a medical healer, transparent suit, a manhole 70 years into the future] etc.
First book was about the discovery and control of The Breach, second about someone trying to control the world. This one comes back to being about The Breach and really discovering what it's all about.
The book starts off with the president of the US getting killed by a US missile strike and then the VP taking over. However the VP strikes at the Tangent (the group that controls The Breach). The protagonists escape, try to avoid getting killer and try to figure out what's going on. Eventually they discover who is behind The Breach but the book ends in a cliffhanger. Kind of, everything is explained except that we don't know what decision is made at the end, which is not a big deal.
I like the book because the writing is easy to read and flows well. The action is fast and there are no slow parts. It also reads like a mystery where the author does a great job of setting up the mystery or problem and the characters try and solve it like a detective protocol. They look at the problem, think up a solution, look for clues and ways to solve it and then go on to the next part once they are done.
This has been the best short series I've read in a long time. I'm now reading the next series by this author.
