Ok so let me say this right at the beginning of the post. Book No. 7 of 2013 is the third book in the Travis Chase trilogy Deep Sky, by Patrick Lee. If you are going to read this book make sure that you read Books one, The Breech and two Ghost Country first!! Preferably you read them consecutively not like I did reading Book 2 first and then quickly going back and reading Book 1! With that said after finishing the book and having everything wrapped up and explained very nicely I feel like I want to go back and read the series again just so that I can understand everything and even then I might not understand it all! From Patrick Lee’s website:
The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret.
But there is another secret even less known… and far more terrifying.
In the aftermath of a brutal attack on the White House, a cryptic message is discovered, left behind by the perpetrator: “See Scalar.”
Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent—caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders—along with Paige Campbell and Bethany Stewart, has only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country—and back through time and malleable memory—is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill.
The pages of this book just flew by as Travis, Paige and Bethany tried to uncover what Scalar was and stop whatever was going to happen from happening? Makes sense right? Anyway The Breech is a wormhole connected to somewhere in the Universe. Through the Breech come strange entities with a variety of powers, sometimes made of materials unknown on earth. The entity that plays a big part in this story is The Tap. The Tap enters the mind of its holder and allows the person to travel to a particular time and place and relive a past memory. In the book Paige re-lives a time she came into her father’s office to see if she can find the address of a retired Tangent operative and Chase goes to Baltimore as a ten-year old to find the man who is at the root of Scalar.
I know it all sounds confusing and it is but it all comes together for a thrilling and satisfying ride. When I finished the book I thought that for sure there would be a book four, but maybe Book 2 was book 4 now that I think of it?? Any way go find The Breech, Ghost Country, and Deep Sky sit down, buckle up and enjoy and I know I can’t wait for the next book from the pen (computer) of Patrick Lee.
