About this listen
Familiar faces. Brand-new alliances. An impossible enemy in their midst.
The Chicago survivors stagger into town on fumes. They’re injured, distraught, and suffering from innumerable losses. However, at Rock’s homestead - in the midst of a new threat - Fire and the group reunite with family and take refuge with local survivors.
Here, they come to realize the enemy of humanity has been posing as one of their own: a human. No one really knows what this means. Some realize they've leapt out of the frying pan and into the fire, while others see an opportunity to exact revenge. But for the select few, it means both...

Great ending!
This book was perhaps not as thrilling as the last one, but still a must listen if you have enjoyed the others. It focuses much more on Maria, but there is the climactic showdown!

Abrupt Ending
Having finished the whole series I have to say that I did not enjoy it. The author has some creepy views about women and this is poignant in how he describes the female characters and how they are blamed for the things men do, often with them doing nothing but being beautiful and attractive. Several hours of this audiobook is about Carver simping on Maria which was painful reading. Apparently he did this because he just couldn't control himself being attracted to her (despite her being a mass murderer), and so his big plan from the start to find a way to destroy her and save the world, was easily forgotten.
From the beginning, there was an interesting storyline about Queen Maria taking over the world. It had a massive build up, but it just kind of fizzled out in the end. The author bounces around from character group to character group, but only concentrated on the Queen in book 1 and book 5. By the time you get to Book 5, not a lot is happening with the Queen apart from her looking for the 'perfect mate', and there wasn't really a good explanation for this. The book ended with what happened to the Queen, and that ending was far too quick and disappointing for how much the author built up the character as being indestructible and so intelligent she outwitted every human being on the planet. It also doesn't seem plausible that the Queen only made herself and not other cyborg's to help her take over the world.
There was an interesting shadowy character that ended up causing the Queen significant harm, but he was killed off immediately which is a shame . In fact a number of good characters in the series didn't last long (including the red headed crazy female killer). I felt these characters should have at least been around much longer than they were, to break up the monotony of the author jumping from one group storyline to the other.
The decisions the core characters made about basic survival was very sus. Since a huge percentage of the population instantly died with the drone strikes, there are very few people left, so why were the survivors always struggling so hard to find food and water?
Also, the author seems to have plenty of negative political views to share in this series, which I did not agree with or care for.
