The explosive conclusion to Nexus and Crux.
Global unrest spreads through the US, China, and beyond. Secrets and lies set off shockwaves of anger, rippling from mind to mind. Riot police battle neutrally linked protestors. Armies are mobilized. Political orders fall. Nexus-driven revolution is in here.
Against this backdrop a new breed of posthuman children are growing into their powers. And a once-dead scientist, driven mad by her torture, is closing in on her plans to seize planet's electronic systems and reforge everything in her image. A new Apex species is here. The world will never be the same.

While it (& by "it" I mean the trilogy/all three books are included) deals with scientific and computer oriented subjects, the trilogy is also a political thriller with believable dram, humor and emotion...also delves deeply into characters, is full of complex dilemmas with no easy answers, & also explores national and international politics and how the world interacts under crisis, & sometimes how countries create their own. What I appreciate is the focus on characters when dealing with the political, rather than nationalism. It will also introduce some people to different cultures, always a plus.
I have immense respect for what Mr Naam has accomplished...gave the first two books a re-listen before starting Apex, & I'm so glad to have done so, as there is so much detail and information. Glad to have had that refresher before diving into Apex. It's a five star effort, throughout the series.
Fantastic conclusion to a unique & thrilling trilogy

On the other hand the book feel longer and less dynamic than previous two, with less action and more psychological-sociological analysis.
The narration by Stephanie is good overall but sometimes too emotional and fake Chinese accent is not always a good fit. Also I found I sometimes got confused by character names which sound similarly, e.g. Kade vs Kate, and had problems identifying characters with Chinese origin names.
Overall thank you very much Ramez and Stephanie for wonderful 18h of a dream and inspiration.

This last book is excellent. Don’t be concerned with any narration complaints in the other reviews, those have been fixed. The narrator does an awesome job portraying the many personalities in the book.
Excellent final book in an outstanding series

Any additional comments?
I have to assume that a voice actor is given the book with a team that would include, at least, a director. It's baffling that someone would choose to do such extreme Chinese accents including the heavy rolled 'l's. The sections of the story with Chinese characters speaking really just knock you out of the story - it's pretty uncomfortable and distracting. I like Stephanie Canon's voice and crisp pronunciation for most of the book but the accents are too much.The story itself is good but I think that I would recommend reading the written book rather than listening to this audible performance.
