By Nuxxy Complex, detailed, multifaceted science fiction on a galactic scale.The story concludes with a massive bang. This is not basic sci-fi. This is dark, detailed, intriguing and complicated science fiction written by some of the best.If you want a story that really takes you deep, start with the first book in this trilogy and read all three. Priests of Mars, Lords of Mars, Gods of Mars. Fantastic stuff!

By Derek Hutchinson The final installment in this trilogy is amazing. It follows Archmagos Kotov and the Speranza exploration fleet into the far reaches of the galaxy where the astronomicon can't reach, essentially leaving the light of the emperor. The revelation of Telok repurposing a necron artefact and wanting to destroy Mars and Terra and rebuild the imperium with it was an unexpected shock, you knew something was going to be wrong with the meeting of him, but not that insanely bad. The few pages where it is alluded to the Void Dragon actually being entombed somewhere on Mars was extremely well written.The Galatea and Linya storyline was a huge pleasure to read to its conclusion, along with the bondsman and how they evolved from the beginning of this whole story.The black templars and the eldar were very well written in how they both viewed each other after Telok intentions were revealed. We need more books or storylines about situations like that.The Cadian regiment and the Titan legios were the most fleshed out in this series next to the Archmagos' and to me came off as the heroes of the book as they seemed to have had the more meaningful losses and challenges of all the characters in the book.

Completes The Downward Trajectory By Cypher Some of my review echoes the points raised by JPS but I will elaborate on other points and, unlike JPS, reveal some spoilers (with warnings) to demonstrate some of the significant failings of this final book.What began in the first book so imaginatively with a great quest and richly drawn characters became overblown and repetitive in the second. It is immensely disappointing to see McNeill conclude the series by compounding all of the errors in the second book rather than holding to the virtues of the first. The consequences of Telok's villainy (stated on the back cover so not a spoiler) are so significant that it ramps up the narrative to hysterical extremes. This involves very high powered characters (Archmagos plural, a saint, the god-level spirit of the Speranza, a farseer etc) fighting in such extreme environments as a collapsing planet (for the third time), an infoverse and the strands of time itself that it causes the reader to be somewhat detached. Just to make it worse there are plot holes the size of black holes ready to suck this book into oblivion.The reason I do not rank this at 1 star is due to the quality of some of the descriptions including the shipboard battles, a new templum, the memorable Tindalosi (although lifting a Lovecraft name seems unnecessary) and the Eldar-Black Templar interactions.*Spoilers*Telok is the worst kind of Dr Evil adversary. He brings a powerful group of enemies down to the planet to see his wonder weapon then, in cliched style, states the 40k version of 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.' Which of course they do not and, armed with the knowledge of his plan, attempt to stop him.To make this all the more illogical, Telok effectively controls Galatea. Galatea is regularly described as being in control of Speranza's systems and able to remove life support throughout the ship. In one stroke Galatea can remove all of the Imperial Guard and, by additionally altering gravity, nullify the Adeptus Mechanicus other than the Legio.But instead Galatea comes down to the planet of Exnihlio, leaving Speranza in the control of Telok's adversaries, to pretend to attack Telok but instead to gloat that Galatea and Telok are on the same side. So now we have a second gloating scene but this one is even more irrational as Telok and Galatea now return to Speranza to try to take control over the ship that they already had control over but had temporarily relinquished! Of course in trying to retake control they still do not vent life out into space as they should but instead send endless waves of those crystalline creatures that were getting pretty tedious in the second book.There was also too much foreshadowing in the book too - the ability of Linya to overcome Galatea never seemed in doubt, Bielanna was too heavily portrayed as a tragic character who would die on this mission and the ascension of Locke was unconvincing (where were his teachings and new creed) and was seemingly propelled only by narrative necessity.The whole need for the Ark Mechanicus as a means to return to Mars also seemed unnecessary too. The Breath of The Gods could start and unmake star systems whilst Telok had already created a vast planet-wide industry from it. He only needed a warp capable craft for the Breath of the Gods to overawe the Mechanicus which he must have been capable of making (he arrived in a fleet of them already). Why would appearing in the Ark have made any difference against all of the defences of Mars if the intent was to fight his way in?I also found the very last page confusing about how Telok/ Galatea could have survived but actually was past caring. I will not be buying any more if this series is superannuated.
