Publisher's summary

The flames of war are spreading across the expanse ...

After a brazen rescue mission to the Citadel, the crew of the Trash Squid have rescued Captain Axel Finn. During their escape, a dying Admiral Jessup tells Axel he must lead the resistance, and that he must start it where his father made his last stand, on the mining world of Furia.

On the planet Runi, Sergeant Jax Brito returns to her family farm to find her father on his deathbed. After dealing with the thugs that put him there, her trip is cut short when a Clipper arrives with a message—the Citadel has been attacked and forces are gathering to take it back. With the threat of the Wrath burning closer, Jax heads out on a new mission. Unknown to her, the journey will take her somewhere no human has set foot.

Having survived capture on Dari, bounty hunter Rangnar Soki faces a new mission. The former galactic king of Wrath artifacts is tasked with locating alien technology that has killed everyone who went searching for it. If he can manage to survive, he might have a chance of helping defeat the enemy. But it will take more than ancient technology and weapons to destroy the Wrath. All species will have to unite to win this war, and only one warrior can rally them—the last Steward.

A Very Good Conclusion to a Fantastic Series

I have this book 5/5 stars for several reason.
1. The Narrator absolutely killed it. Maybe I would rate it 5 stars with another narrator, but I highly doubt it.
2. The story itself was engaging, and the key characters were thought out and even consistent. The only issue I had was with Ragnanor - I didn’t know what he was. Human or what?
3. It was just a fun read. I like the author and he didn’t disappoint.
4. It was nice to actually finish a story in 3 books. There are a few series I’m reading where I am waiting for the next book in line. This guy popped out the worlds, the aliens, destruction and victory in 3 volumes. Well done.

Great finish to a great series! More please!

Loved the third book in this series. I sure hope Mr. Smith writes more in this series. The adventures of Axel and Uga continue with them flying around the galaxy in the Trash Squid battling The Wrath. Great characters and story telling. Highly recommended!

So good!

Wow, what an ending! Narrators and the author delivered a thrilling story and performance. I really wish there were more books coming in this seris. It is one of Smith's best, packed full of action, tension, and lots of funny banter. Uga and Axel rank right up there with some of my favorite characters from his other series. If you haven't taken a chance on Galaxy in Flames, give The Last Steward a try. It's a blend of star wars and warhammer 40k with some of the best characters in this genre!
