Heaven's Queen

Paradox, Book 3

By: Rachel Bach

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Badass heroine Devi Morris returns for another action-packed space adventure in the thrilling conclusion to Rachel Bach's Paradox trilogy.

From the moment she took a job on Captain Caldswell's doomed ship, Devi Morris's life has been one disaster after another: government conspiracies, two alien races out for her blood, an incurable virus that's eating her alive.

Now, with the captain missing and everyone—even her own government—determined to hunt her down, things are going from bad to impossible. The sensible plan would be to hide and wait for things to blow over, but Devi's never been one to shy from a fight, and she's getting mighty sick of running.

It's time to put this crisis on her terms and do what she knows is right. But with all human life hanging on her actions, the price of taking a stand might be more than she can pay.

narrative was great

great story,and the narration was so good I never forgot what I was listening to

A grand conclusion

This was more of the same action and battles as we saw in the previous books, but now all the characters learn the details about what the aliens are really after. Devi has come a long way since the start of this story and has a few more lessons to face.

Surprised Pleasantly

Neat futuristic Sci-Fi with a love story - betrayals and enemies who become friends. Well written ;)

Excellent writing and fantastic finish

The voice actor performs the story with realistic emotional tone that adds believability to the characters and their development.

The author creates an immersive world and carefully weaves everything together in this last book of the series for a terrific climax, a satisfying denouement, heartfelt closure, and yet leaves the door open for another adventure with the protagonists.

I highly recommend this set of books for people who enjoy close-quarters violent combat scenes, humans vs. aliens, political intricacies, twists and reversals, meaningful romance, wry humor, and “save-the-universe” stakes.

The ending is especially well-written as it sustains the tension so the climax is powerful. So good!

This is a real page turner.

A lot of authors struggle to pull things together, but this series just got better as it went on.
