    About this ebook

    Author of the epic Star Force Origin series, Aer-ki Jyr's impressive galactic world-building is on full display in this stand-alone space opera adventure reminiscent of Ryk Brown, Christopher Nuttall, B.V. Larson, and Evan Currie.

    A new dawn is coming.

    It's been eons since Humans controlled the universe. Defeated by a mysterious enemy, the downfall of Humanity brought about a virtual dark age. Culture and technology stagnated in their absence. But now, trade is once again flourishing as Human artifacts resurface throughout the galaxy, resurrecting long forgotten advancements.

    And one such discovery might very well alter the course of the future forever.

    An epic space adventure, Aer-ki Jyr's APEX is a breathless race to the ultimate prize, with the very fate of the stars hanging in the balance.

    • 5/5
      A great conclusion to the trilogy, wrapping everything up in a way that's both surprising and satisfying.
    • 4/5
      Action-filled conclusion to Naam's Nexus trilogy (Nexus, Crux, Apex). Against a backdrop of geopolitics, drug policy, fear of the unknown, development policy, and human rights, transhumans, AI, and humans clash. Though the first book (Nexus) provided the basic "science fictional" elements, here we see how these play out on the political scene, with its many actors with different motivations. Recommended.
    • 4/5
      Picking up right where Crux ended, Apex provides a satisfying conclusion to the Nexus Trilogy. At times in the middle it gets bogged down by too many viewpoints, taking too long to switch back to a given plot thread. But the action picks up towards the end as the characters converge on the climax. The ending is fitting; the main plot threads are concluded, but there's unfinished details to not feel too tidy. And it has it's sad elements, like the previous two books.
