[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23168809-the-end-of-all-things):
|
|
|
|
|
Humans expanded into space... only to find a universe populated with multiple
|
|
|
|
|
alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed,
|
|
|
|
|
to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth
|
|
|
|
|
and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good
|
|
|
|
|
arrangement... for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more.

While all the other books in the series are more about "fight" and "tactics",
|
|
|
|
|
this is way more political.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After all the events in the series, the story finally reached a point where a
|
|
|
|
|
cold war is present and the "action" is more about talk and creating pacts
|
|
|
|
|
than exploding stuff. Which, to be honest, felt like the natural way the story
|
|
|
|
|
should go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you like the explosions and stuff, you may feel a bit down by this, but you
|
|
|
|
|
have to give a change for the exploration of all other aspects of the universe
|
|
|
|
|
created.
