Here we are, Book 5 of The Great Iron War. Yes, this one ends with room for more. However, it wraps up some things, too. In fact, there are a few threads going on simultaneously and even though they are small passages, they are personal missions of import; namely, The Collector and Birth Masters. If you've read all the prior installments, then you are in for some reflection.
Whistler definitely grows a bit in Worldmaker. It turns out he's a pretty good pilot, too.General Rommond and the gang had quite a bloody victory, but there isn't room to rest. The greatest weapon is now high above and on its way to not just end the War and annihilate the Iron Emperor, but also lay destruction of cataclysmic proportions.
Where I enjoyed Book 2 for its development, Book 5 is better with its terminal conclusions. And yes, I'm keeping it vague. You'll want to read the development (named above) for yourself.
5 of 5 Stars. Author provided paperback copy. From the Publisher:
Every victory is its own defeat. General Rommond's efforts to amass technological superiority over the enemy has resulted in the creation of a weapon that could destroy everything, and a faction just mad enough to use it. The Armageddon Brigade has awoken from its deep slumber, and it seeks to wake the world with it. Attracting the brightest, and most unstable, of minds, this splinter group of the Resistance has become the greatest thorn in Rommond's side. The Resistance and the Regime must unite to defeat a foe that answers to neither of them. Yet their deep divisions and long-held suspicions threaten to end the Great Iron War once and for all—by ending everything.
