Is this really the end for Will and Elliot?
Despite their best efforts to prevent the Styx from
releasing the Armagi, Will, Elliot, and their friends failed
to protect England from the invasion. Will and Elliot are
trapped below ground with little hope of returning home.
Chester and Stephanie are trapped above ground with the
Armagi. England has been cut off from the world and no one
is going to help them. Can this divided group save Earth
before it is too late?
TERMINAL by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams is the
intense conclusion to the Tunnels series. I love this
series. I love this book. There are just a few character
arcs that I wish had gone differently. That's because I'm a
happily-ever-after sort, and TERMINAL is definitely not a
happily-ever-after ending to a fantastic series. I love this
at the same time I'm saddened by what happens. All the books
in the Tunnels series have explored dark needs and
motivations, but TERMINAL pushes this even further. With
very little hope left, some characters are driven by anger,
despair, and even hatred to do things they can't come back
from. That's not to say there's no hope. It's this truthful
representation of how people react during times of crises
that make TERMINAL and the Tunnels series truly
intriguing. People do bad things, but they're also capable
of doing extraordinary, selfless acts that continue to
inspire, and authors Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams
explore both sides of humanity.
TERMINAL by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams is a
fantastic conclusion to the Tunnels series. For those
new to the series, start with book one, Tunnels. This is not
a series that should be read out of order. The plot is
intricate and told through many different viewpoints. It
would be difficult to keep all the characters and their
motivations straight, not to mention all they'd done in the
previous five books, if you read out of order. The
conclusion to TERMINAL will stay with you long after you
finished the novel. It is that heart-wrenching and
satisfying.
The end to end all ends: The epic finale to the NEW YORK
TIMES bestselling TUNNELS series!
Total Termination of the English: The Styx and their lethal
cohorts of Armagi will settle for nothing less. Not even the
mighty US military is strong enough to stop the assault!
Will and Elliott flee back underground, down to the innards
of the Earth first mapped in DEEPER and FREEFALL. With the
support of a small team that survived the plague of New
Germania, they discover a secret at the site of the three
core pyramids. A secret that may explain not only where the
Styx came from, but the human race, too. Can Elliott, with
her mixed blood, unlock the clues before Earth itself spins
out of orbit?
All the many threads of the prior TUNNELS books come
together in this epic conclusion!
