The Great Unmaking

The Course of Empire Series, Book 3

By: Brian Nelson

Narrated by: Bradford Hastings

A propulsive, mind-expanding thriller—and the world-shaking conclusion to the Course of Empire trilogy—about bold scientific dreams turning into nightmares … or perhaps new beginnings …

After usurping control of the world’s most powerful military technology, General Chip Walden knows the endgame is near and tasks scientist Eric Hill with one final assignment. Helped by the love of his life, Jane Hunter, Hill is haunted by premonitions of a coming catastrophe as the technology he created takes on a life of its own.

As Hill attempts to avert disaster, FBI Special Agent Bud Brown seeks revenge for the murder of his fellow agents by eco-terrorist Riona Finley. But what no one realizes is that forces are at work that have already decided humanity’s fate. With the clock ticking toward an irrevocable apocalypse, it’s no longer a question of if the world can be saved, but who will be the chosen few that survive.

The Great Unmaking is the grand conclusion to Brian Nelson’s magisterial trilogy that James Rollins has called “a must-read adventure.”

Excellent series…

I don’t write reviews, but felt compelled to after this book. Excellent storyline throughout the series. Astounding detail, and eerily convincing of what could lay ahead.

Fantastic conclusion

A great story from the start of the first book “the last sword maker” to the middle book “the 5 tribes” and then finally concluded with the latest edition to the trilogy “the great unmaking” the the reading and performance was FANTASTIC and had me sitting in my car for upwards of 20 minutes at a time after pulling into my driveway. The characters were all well written and portrayed by the voice actor with consistency across all 3 books. My only disappointment is that there will not be a 4th book to the series! These books will remain in my library for a long time and are candidates for a re-read.

Great end to the trilogy!

Nelson’s trilogy exploring the amazing potential and danger of nanotechnology comes to an explosive conclusion! Can’t wait for the next trilogy!

I love this series!

I don’t read a ton of science fiction but I’m loving this series!! The story is compelling with just enough technical to be interesting but the characters are the main focus.

Wow, just an absolutely incredibly conclusion.

He did a pretty incredible job tying everything together coming to a dramatic conclusion. Definitely worth a read.
