About this ebook
The gripping final instalment in the Sleeping Giants trilogy - perfect for fans of Ready, Player One, The Martian and Transformers.
________
We always thought the biggest threat to humanity would come from the outside.
We were wrong . . .
Ten years ago, alien robots descended to Earth killing one hundred million people. And when they retreated, they took brilliant scientist Dr Rose Franklin and her team with them.
Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose and the Earth Defence Corps manage to escape - only to find that a devastating new war has begun. This time, between humans.
As the human race looks set to destroy itself, Rose and her comrades must find a way to unite Earth.
The stakes couldn't be higher, as the aliens intend to finish the annihilation they started . . .
Praise for the Sleeping Giants trilogy:
'This year's The Martian. So good and so eerie' Buzzfeed
'Pure, unadulterated literary escapism. In a word: unputdownable' Kirkus Reviews
'A sheer blast from start to finish' Blake Crouch, author of the Wayward Pines series
'Reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z' Pierce Brown, author of the Red Rising series
An action-packed tale with apocalyptic stakes' Publishers Weekly

A strange close to a strange trilogy. The first had the unique transcript
style going for it. The second was possibly the best as it actually had
some action. But this one, with the enigmatic narrator lost, falls short
and was a struggle to an finish.

I have read all 3 of the Themis files books I have to say I have enjoyed the series, I'd love to see this converted into a series or movies one day. I plan to read more of Sylvain Neuvel book in the future
