Summary

Jacques McKeown is the most celebrated author of star-pilot fiction in the galaxy. He's rich, famous, and living in luxury, and his universe-wide fanbase eagerly awaits any news of his next book.

There's just one small hitch.

He's not Jacques McKeown.

He's Dashford Pierce, star pilot and con artist, and if only the impatient calls from his publisher were the worst of his problems. There's also the last vestige of the Henderson crime gang, trouble brewing in the retired star-pilot community, and a small matter of somebody trying to kill him.

As his web of lies falls apart and the crosshairs zero in, Pierce has no other option but to take one last adventure. An odyssey to the very edge of known space to finally answer the question that has twisted up his life for five years: Just who is Jacques McKeown?

Great ending, sad now.

I’ll be honest, this really loved this trilogy, and now that it has ended, I feel a mixture of satisfaction and sadness. I enjoyed the ride from FOOD to CASH to GOOD, and I will genuinely miss hearing the latest adventure for the first time. Thank you, you plying Bracket.

Best book of a good series

10/10 for the ending, sad it's over. I rarely laugh aloud but this book does it. Thanks.

Endings

It’s rare to find the conclusion to a trilogy that works both as an incredibly engaging self contained story and as a satisfying end to what has been a truly amazing arc, not just for the main character but to the world and themes that bustle about him. There is so much to praise here even setting aside the great performance by the author, but I will only say that the final chapter had me literally stop dead on my feet. I would have clapped had the grin on my face not already been drawing sanity-questioning glances from passers-by. Sublime from start to end and I can’t wait to revisit all three.

An excellent ending to a great trilogy, with a little twist for the fans.

it's great! Channels the spirit of Terry Pratchett, sad that the trilogy is done but looking forward to wherever Yahtzee's new ideas take him.

great ending

This series is one of the few I have listened to more than twice! The final book ties things up and whilst its still a funny and entertaining listen it has a more somber message about AI and how one treats sentience which made the tone a little more serious. Im not complaining I was with the characters all through. But there were a few sad bits, which was moving and supirsing because it was so. Thank you YC, you have taken me on a three book epic journey

nice end to the series

nice arch for he characters to end on, with some nice twists.

can see the author current experience showing through which gives colour to some of the main themes in the story.

A wonderful journey!

I don't know if I'll ever find the right words to describe how much I enjoyed this book. This genuinely had me shouting to myself at certain moments and I've never had that before.

This is probably the first book series that I felt a connection to properly. It's had me laughing with it's great examples of funny, awkward, British conversations. it also had me contemplating some big questions.

I cant wrote a proper review though. I more just wanted to say thank you to Yahtzee for giving us this wonderful, intertwining universe that's brought me so much joy.

I'll carry this journey in my mind for a long time to come.

Thanks mate.

Good fun, as always

Is it the most revolutionary story you're ever going to read? No. But it sure is fun!
