Hi Cara,
Today I am taking part in the Residuum Social media blast. Residuum is the third and final book in Dominic Dulley The Long Game Trilogy.
The first two books are:
Below are the other blogs that are taken place in the Social media blast.
A planet-eating plague. A hustler-turned-hero. Time is running out . . .
Orry Kent just wants a quiet life – but even a little R&R on the holiday planet of Halcyon turns wild when she accidentally sparks off a revolution amongst the downtrodden native workers.
But that’s small beer compared with the news footage being broadcast across the Ascendancy, showing Orry murdering the man she saved just six months earlier and destroying the Halstaad-Mirnov Institute, the heart of research into the aeons-dead alien race called The Departed.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Residuum is a great way to end The Long Game Trilogy.
The book starts off a bit differently from the others. It starts off quieter but Orry can’t stay out of trouble for long. I enjoyed seeing the other side of the universe as it shows the life the rich have, and what the poor have to do to survive. (Shout out to the deadly version of Wipeout.)
There are elements that connect to the previous books, but if you haven’t read them. It’s ok, as it doesn’t take away from the plot. But reading the other book helps understand the history and drama between the characters.
Residuum has more drama and action and less con work than previous books. But the con work that is in Residuum is fun and entertaining to read.
Dominic writing style is detailed fast-paced and easy to read. The plot ends in a direction that I am not surprised about, but I did enjoy the journey.
I loved all the character but the focus is mainly on Orry. I did miss some of the group and Danity Jane interaction we get in the other books.
The ending left me hoping that we might get another book/ series that focuses on one of the other characters.
Overall Residuum is a fun Sci-Fi opera, that Sci-fi fans should pick up.
My rating for Residuum is 4 out of 5.
