A propulsive, mind-expanding thriller—and the world-shaking conclusion to the Course of Empire trilogy—about bold scientific dreams turning into nightmares … or perhaps new beginnings …

After usurping control of the world’s most powerful military technology, General Chip Walden knows the endgame is near and tasks scientist Eric Hill with one final assignment. Helped by the love of his life, Jane Hunter, Hill is haunted by premonitions of a coming catastrophe as the technology he created takes on a life of its own.

As Hill attempts to avert disaster, FBI Special Agent Bud Brown seeks revenge for the murder of his fellow agents by eco-terrorist Riona Finley. But what no one realizes is that forces are at work that have already decided humanity’s fate. With the clock ticking toward an irrevocable apocalypse, it’s no longer a question of if the world can be saved, but who will be the chosen few that survive.

The Great Unmaking is the grand conclusion to Brian Nelson’s magisterial trilogy that James Rollins has called “a must-read adventure.”

I don’t write reviews, but felt compelled to after this book. Excellent storyline throughout the series. Astounding detail, and eerily convincing of what could lay ahead.

Excellent series…

A great story from the start of the first book “the last sword maker” to the middle book “the 5 tribes” and then finally concluded with the latest edition to the trilogy “the great unmaking” the the reading and performance was FANTASTIC and had me sitting in my car for upwards of 20 minutes at a time after pulling into my driveway. The characters were all well written and portrayed by the voice actor with consistency across all 3 books. My only disappointment is that there will not be a 4th book to the series! These books will remain in my library for a long time and are candidates for a re-read.

Fantastic conclusion

Nelson’s trilogy exploring the amazing potential and danger of nanotechnology comes to an explosive conclusion! Can’t wait for the next trilogy!

Great end to the trilogy!

felt that author ran out of steam with how the series ends, almost like those Twilight Zone stories where it is all a child's fever dream.

I loved this series. While I do enjoy some sci-fi, it not a terribly often genre I pursue and particularly those inclined toward military or political are very rare for me. This tale does have that, but oh my so much more. It was incredibly scary and I'm a true horror fan. However I found this series far more frightening than any other book I've read. Perhaps because I can see where much of the "sci-fi" mechanics, AI development, forced evolution, and many many other inventions in this series are very likely to become our reality in the next 5, 10, to 15 years. Others I can see being part of the norm in my children's, my grands, and my great grands life spans There were some which I thought were a bit out there, but then thought, I'm sure people 100-200 years ago could say exactly the same for many of what we now simply take for granted. I seriously hope our world can possibly gain some control over our selves and respect for others before this comes about. I do highly recommend this series.

Incredible and Frightening Series

I've read 300+ books and this is my favorite trilogy. The characters are well developed and the story line is bullet proof. A must read

favorite trilogy

I thought as the story progressed from the first to the third book that the story got stronger and more engaging. Quite entertaining.
I docked a star from the story rating for the portrayal of dogs in the story as detrimental to our relationship with our environment (See Saan views and elements of the last book in the series). it adds nothing to the story, comes off as written by a grumpy dog hater or anti-pet peta-member.
The symbiotic relationship between dogs and people are as much a part of humanity as fire.

great story and excellent narration

Didn’t see this ending coming. A little strange. Would have liked a few more ends tied up at the end of the serious. But over all loved it.

Didn’t See That Coming

He did a pretty incredible job tying everything together coming to a dramatic conclusion. Definitely worth a read.

Wow, just an absolutely incredibly conclusion.

I don’t read a ton of science fiction but I’m loving this series!! The story is compelling with just enough technical to be interesting but the characters are the main focus.

I love this series!
