Expatriate
(Forager #3)
by Peter R. Stone
Synopsis
The
Thrilling Conclusion to the Forager Trilogy
Eighteen-year-old
Ethan Jones, Nanako, and the other foragers have fled Newhome after being
accused of being terrorists.
However,
with Captain Smithson's parting words of "Don't forget us," ringing
in their minds, they realise the only way to save Newhome from the Hamamachi
Rangers and their Skel allies is to document and expose the Rangers' villainy.
Yet
what sounds like a workable plan is nothing of the sort, for they have to
journey into the very heart of Skel territory to obtain the information they
need.
Leigh's
warning that "nothing ever goes as you want or plan it to," turns out
to be prophetic. An assassin, a botched raid, and the Skel and Rangers stopping
at nothing to prevent them from revealing the Rangers' activities all
complicate matters.
To
add to their woes, a word whispered in Ethan's ear by a new addition to their
party brings his world crashing down about his ears. Moreover, should he share
this information with Nanako, all her hopes and dreams for the future will be
destroyed as well. The question is - how long can he keep such a secret from
her?

My Thoughts
Once again, Peter R. Stone shows that he can
write an action-packed, suspenseful story that will keep the reader on the edge
of their seat and turning each page in anticipation of what is going to happen
next. In this thrilling conclusion to the Forager Trilogy,
the action is more intense, the Rangers get what they deserve and the Skel
(although still smelly and gross) get taken down - FINALLY! Also, a new girl arrives on the scene,
Madison, and gives Ethan shocking information that shatters his world and threatens
his marriage to Nanako. And finally we
get the answer to the question we have all been asking - who the heck shot
Ethan? - and I for one did not see that coming.
At. All.
All this excitement and thrills are waiting for
you as you open up this third and final installment to what I have found to be
perhaps my favorite dystopian trilogy to date.
I will miss Ethan, Nanako and the team and the fantastic journey I took
with them.
With vivid descriptions of a war-torn society
and characters that are relatable, I could not help but become totally engrossed
in the world that Mr. Stone has created.
So, thank you Mr. Stone for writing a series that is not only
"clean" and suitable for all age groups, but for also providing this
reader a thrilling escape from reality.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
