Publisher's summary

A dangerous mission. A fresh beginning. A worthy opponent.

Colton Beck has done the improbable. With the aide of his allies, he’s managed to save the Rusa. Just when they think it’s time to focus on their new planet, Desmond returns, asking for a favor.

The Ministry of Realms, thought to be destroyed by Drunal years before, still exists, and they’re hiding in the deep reaches of the River.

To find them, the team follows a trail of clues, leading to a surprise, no one could have expected.

The Realms is the newest installment of the hit series, The River Saga, from the bestselling author of The Event and Lost Contact.

Great conclusion to a great series

Well done. Can’t say it’s better then the 2nd book in the series, simply more of the same. But the 2nd book was great so this won’t disappoint. Comes to a nice series ending conclusion. Aeration was great as always. All in all a very good book.

Amazing Book!

This is now one of my favorite book ans series of all time. If they made these books into movies I'm sure it would beat out Marvel's Movie. Thank you for a great series.

Wanting more...

The story started off slow for me. But after the second hour, I was in. The storyline is full of twists and turns, leaving you puzzled about the next chapter, book, or conclusion. My only negative is the lack of religion and faith in the storyline. Human story has too many struggles with religion for science fiction books to ignore this most controversial subject matter.

Incredible Series

One of my favorite audiobook series. Close to Galaxy’s Edge in terms of story with excellent narration.

No spoilers

Reviewing all 4 books in series—very good story overall. Fun & fast-paced except for 1st book which was excruciatingly slow, giving few clues to the shape of the story. It set up the series, but could have gotten to ‘the good stuff’ more quickly. Did a good job of character development often using flashbacks so got a m feel of who who each character was without the need to hear every detail of their life. The narrator was pretty good, but with some weird pauses as if he had not read ahead, so some of the story was oddly paced. Worth the credits and entertaining.

Wonderful Saga

I've listened to the entire River series. Enjoyed every minute. The term "space opera" is both whimsical and apt.
