About this listen

And so it has come to this.

The star cluster is awash with the blood of those whose lives have been spent by two men maneuvering fleets like pieces across a chessboard.

Only one man can come out on top: Thatcher or Moll.

But when a victor finally emerges, what will it mean? What solace can truly be taken by those left over, those whose very lives have been wrecked by a war of unrivaled carnage?

Surely someone will be left to pick up the pieces. Someone with the vision to make all of this mean something.

For Thatcher's part, he can only do what he was made to do.

Win. At all costs.

Spacers, Part 5 contains Book Nine: Dead Ahead through to the end of Book 10: Storm Break.

Spoiled by the ending

I did listen to the authors note and appreciate the explanation, but I was still left deeply disappointed with the ending. I feel like it had so much potential as it was literally setup to utilise all of time and space. It could have ended with Thatcher going back in time with the knowledge gained from the current cycle to change things for the better. This would have made way more sense since 8 out of 10 books were about stopping Maul from resetting the timeline. Instead there was some cryptic lesson about human nature, a butchering of causality and the big bang theory and suddenly Maul was some godlike figure at the "end of time". Sigh.

Last book makes series's waste of time

As title says last book makes it all a waste of time might have not bothered I am happy auther wrote why he did it, and i will probably pass on the the other series mentioned if it ends like this, an this is as bad as vampires aperantice ending.

Great with buts....

Lover scotts books very much all his books have me hooked i have them all. My only grioe was the ending. Its good but would do little to rest my soul. My suggestion would be to have a a and b ending. One more mainstream and his directirs cut version. But all and all ive been hooked aince the very first book.

Felt completely rushed

Many fights throughout the book are outright skipped and there is an emphasis on Thatcher atoning for his sins that comes more or less out of nowhere. During the rest of the series, there was no thought that Thatcher cared much about the enemy losses until suddenly he goes to church and does?
I also didn't really like the ending, on the authors note, it is said that Thatcher shouldn't get a good ending, because of some of the atrocities he had done. That is fine, but then the author doesn't give any type of proper tangible ending. I would have preffered for instance for Thatcher to actually lose, instead of the left turn that is the ending. It went from a series with lots of clever Scifi fleet action to a single book that trys too neatly to tie up the dawn cluster without even trying with enything else. The last few scenes basically end up being "space magic" and make literally no sense in the context of the rest of the book.
Weak ending for a decent series

Great story jarring ending

Well thought out space opera spanning the series.
Ending even though I agree and get the ending the author wrote didn’t feel flowed

Good ending

As the author says in his footnotes Thatcher had, as we say in the UK 'lost the plot'
Slaughtering crews who wanted to surrender was the final straw!
He didn't deserve a happy ending.
Really enjoyed the series
Thanks

Ending makes it a waste of time

Ending makes no sense. Almost like he didn’t know how to end it. Lots of plot holes throughout the series.

An ending doesn’t negate a good story

I think when an author feels the need to explain an ending you already know all you need to about it.
