Publisher's summary

All good things come to an end. And this is it: the last stand of the Ketty Jay and her intrepid crew.

They've been shot down, set up, double-crossed and ripped off. They've stolen priceless treasures, destroyed a 10,000-year-old Azryx city and sort-of-accidentally blew up the son of the Archduke. Now they've gone and started a civil war. This time, they're really in trouble.

As Vardia descends into chaos, Captain Frey is doing his best to keep his crew out of it. He's got his mind on other things, not least the fate of Trinica Dracken. But wars have a way of dragging people in, and sooner or later they're going to have to pick a side. It's a choice they'll be staking their lives on.

Cities fall and daemons rise. Old secrets are uncovered and new threats revealed.

When the smoke clears, who will be left standing?

Come back some day.

Really sorry to see this series end. Great on every level,story,characters, narration. Hope that someday Chris Wooding will return to these people. Hoping too that his current series The Ember Blade will live up to the Ketty Jay series.

Just nitpicks

I loved the story and the acting, for the most part. Frey's American accent wasn't consistently expressive enough for me. Also, the volume of the recording was too low.

Those are nitpicks. I really enjoyed it!

A satisfying ending to a fun adventure

Do the Ketty Jay novels feature basically stock characters? Yes.

Are they made up of tropes you’ve heard before? Yes.

Are they just plain fun adventure stories and a worthy use of your Audible credits? YES!

This conclusion to the Ketty Jay series ties up loose ends and resolves plot arcs teed up in book one. Despite being pretty familiar you care for this crew and want things to turn out well for them… but will they?!
