6/10: Good light-weight read, well done.Even now, our fate is linked to the grid.OK, so it would be so easy to spoil things in this review because what I have to say is intricately woven into the story itself; the twists, the shocks, the revelations, the ending.I didn't see it coming at first and will admit that I got a bit confused part way through when (view spoiler)[we switched to what appeared a different timeline and went over a parallel past that seemed unreal (hide spoiler)]. But the beau...

INCREDIBLE!!! I don't know what else to say, This series delivered on every level. I'm left in shock and awe; sad that my time in this universe has ended. An incredible trilogy ,extremely well written, With characters that I will remember for years.

The ENTIRE trilogy is a non-stop must read!!!!I loved the entire trilogy. Easy reading, as; Other authors that are in my top five now. He shall be added. You just put yourself right in the story, it Is that descriptive, but not overly wordy. You arenot bothered by proofreading overlooks, misspellings, etc. The whole "grid" 👽 alien is an entirely new concept, in my opinion. Traveling thousands of light years to a new planet to generate a new earth is so descriptive you actually feel yourself in t...

I eagerly awaited the last book in the trilogy, so I grabbed it as soon as it came out. It was a good read, although different from what I thought it would be. Unexpected. Maybe that's why it was slightly disappointing. Still a fun read, with our favorite characters, but the resolution seemed to me a bit rushed. Also, at times I got lost in all the rocket-science speak, it went way over my head, so I found myself scrolling past paragraphs.

I absolutely loved the first two books in the series. This last one was a bit of a letdown after all that buildup. The characters spent the first half of the book running away from dinosaurs that they should have known all about after studying the planet for so long before landing on it. Although very well thought out the big reveal of what was happening was a bit of a letdown, I wish there was more to it than just a looping timeline driven by a set of rules that get inserted by characters only

The Lost Colony is 2.5 books between two covers. In book 1, the last of humanity, holed up on a foreign planet fight for survival with dinosaurs, transparent scorpions, the weather, and robots. In book 2, the history of man, technology and robots is revealed, which answers the question why, in Book 1, Oscar, the robot, saves our protagonist in spite of the fact that robots exterminated most living things. In book 0.5, we're back on the planet exploring what the robots left.Book 2 is meant to blo...

The beginning and ending were fine, but the middle was long and drawn out. I had a hard time getting through it because it gave you no clue how it was getting to the end. I have a feeling that it was mainly just to fill the pages. The ending referenced a couple things that happened in the middle to tie them together, but that could have been achieved with a much shorter middle part. I'm still not sure why the grid, with its infinite knowledge, doesn't consider the e rex to be a threat to the hum...

speed reading made this tolerable.

Mind numbingI was not impressed with book two but hoped the final installment would improve. Unfortunately it was worse. The convoluted path taken to try and wrap up plot lines was mind numbing and still had issues.

2.75 stars rounded up. What a shame, this could have been a lot better. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the story, the concept and the series. What let this book down was... I have a friend who often uses movie analogies, think of it like this - someone is rescued after being held captive for some time. A joyous reunion, but I’m thinking hey, they’ve been locked up for (a long time) they would have pissed themselves and not cleaned their teeth or washed and you wouldn’t be going for the tongue kiss....

I loved this series although I found the alternative reality sub-plot (that comprised a third of this book) confusing. Nonetheless, an interesting and creative sci-fi series worth reading.

What a disappointing end to this series. I forced myself to finish this book after I got to the point where he starts retelling the whole series from a slightly different perspective. It all just seemed like a lazy way to fill up the book. And between this book and the 2nd book of the series it was a bit preachy on humanism, which I had to skip through the parts where Emma is teaching from this book called Birthright. The first book in the series was the best one, and they got increasingly worse...

Imagine there's no countriesIt isn't hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion, tooImagine all the peopleLiving life in peace... oh, shut up!This was ultimately a waste of time. Part Jurassic Park part Matrix part what the hell was that?Let me tell you what the good was. Very short chapters, large fonts with a lot of space between the words, and many pages were half blank made this a very fast read. That's the good.The bad? You have too read books one and two to get to a very unsatisfy...

A great twist of an ending to a thrilling series I thoroughly enjoyed this last book and did not expect the twisted ending . It’s not going to leave you disappointed though , never fear! Pretty much speechless but I really value the fact that every series or stand alone book is really smart (sometimes a little over my head) but also relatable and addictive to finish. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Sad the story of James, Emma , Oscar and “the gang” is over. You will not be disappointed. I am sur...

As always COMPLETELY RIVETING!!I just couldn't put the Lost Colony down. I'd be reading it in my chair, then take it with me all day long every time I had an extra 5 minutes I'd be opening the Kindle APP to read a little bit more. I even risked using the phone in the restroom AT the Gym. (Hid in the shower just to read a few pages) I especially LOVED the Arguments between Oscar and Arthur or Bob can't keep those 2 separate. I'm totally bummed NOW that it's over. I was actually hoping for more in...

I took a break from reading this book because it got so dark and hopeless in the middle, but I picked it up again and it got better again. Still, the situation the characters were facing never became easy and new challenges appeared for them constantly. The end was an unexpected and surprising twist that I didn't see coming. The book combines a lot of problems of technology that we are facing and the possible outcomes for us. It contains a thoughtful consideration of human ambition, folly and fr...
