![]() ![]() ![]() Brimming with both action and humanity-especially from the AI Monono-this is sure to satisfy series fans. Carey packs this series conclusion with long-awaited answers about the past, present, and future of this dystopian world. Even if the town survives the assault, it will have to contend with Koli’s return home from exile and the potential extinction of humanity. Now the town faces invasion by a massive, undefeated army. Meanwhile, Koli’s old friend Spinner has become a leader in the village of Mythen Rood, wielding controversial old world technology. They hoped the source would offer answers, but instead they discover that the ship holds horrific, lethal secrets from the prewar past, before technology was destroyed and outlawed. Koli and his companions-trans woman Cup, scientist Ursala, and sentient AI Monomo-have finally reached the source of the signal they’ve been following through the dystopian wilderness: a ship called the Sword of Albion. I would struggle to explain exactly what the book is about as that would be spoiling it, and I found it fun to just dive in and try and work out. ![]() The engrossing finale to Carey’s Rampart Trilogy (following The Trials of Koli) dashes many of its characters’ hopes but also opens possibilities for the future that none of them ever imagined. The Book of Koli by M.R Carey, who is also the author of The Girl With All The Gifts, is a highly imaginative fable and the first in a planned dystopian and sci-fi trilogy known as The Rampart Trilogy. ![]()
