About this audiobook

The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret.

But there is another secret even less known . . . and far more terrifying.

As the U.S. President addresses the nation fromthe Oval Office, a missile screams toward the White House. In a lightning flash, the Chief Executive is dead, his mansion in ruins, and two cryptic words are the only clue to the assassins’ motives: “See Scalar.”

Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent—caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders—along with partner and lover Paige Campbell and technology expert Bethany Stewart, have only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country—and back through time and malleable memory—is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill . . .

    The third and final part of the breach trilogy.
    Same as my previous reviews of the previous books return to read as if they were television episodes it's not a criticism but they really would stand much more detail and almost doubling the length of the book having said that I enjoyed the concept of the story and I would recommend the book toother readers or listeners

    I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series. It was fresh and exciting. The second book, Ghost Country, was okay. I stated in my review that it lacked the punch of the first novel, which is true for Deep Sky too. However, Deep Sky was by far the least enjoyable for me. Towards the end, it just became weird and felt rushed.

    The science is science-fiction, which is okay since I am not reading a biography. However, the final few chapters greatly increased the science-fiction and went off in a direction that I did not enjoy. The story ends open-ended and left me high and dry. I wanted to rate Deep Sky 2.5 stars, but when I considered the series overall, I realised that it might be a bit harsh. I generally got enjoyment from reading the series, even though some elements left me a bit disappointed.

    Should you read the series? It depends. The Travis Chase series is like vanilla ice cream. Some people don't eat anything else. If you are a vanilla ice cream person, read it. You will have fun. However, I am more of a Woolworths Tin Roof ice cream kind of guy - lots of vanilla, but with nuts and chocolate sauce to make it just a little more interesting.

    Jeff Gurner did a great job at narrating the title.

    They only get better! This book was the best yet. I love the mix of intrigue and sci-fi.

    After zooming through the first two books, I dove immediately into the third. This one was slightly more difficult to follow in audio (just one main point of the plot, really, that I felt I had missed), but still I highly recommend it if you like a blend of contemporary thriller and futuristic technology.

    Not a bad ending to this Travis Chase trilogy. The last 50 pages were far more exciting than the rest of the book as it seemed to drag just a bit.

    The adventure continues at an even more fantastical level in this the final book of the Travis Chase trilogy. The excellent plot continues here with some new unseen twists and an ending which is suitably out there for this trilogy. Whilst this story was excellent I did find Ghost Country to be the best book of the trilogy myself.

    I even like the title.This story is a bit more sci-fi (or speculative) than the 2nd book, but it is still, essentially, a thriller book with a hint of sci-fi in how the technical/tools enable the events to occur. So, the world is not sci-fi, nor are people's behaviors, or the society, but there are a slew of alien tools that make the story just brush into the sci-fi realm.Great little twist in here too - I didn't see it coming, but, in hindsight, it was not all that unexpected after all! The author lead us so oh-so-subtly down a road that it isn't until we are at the end of that road that we realize how well-crafted it was.I really wish there were more books in this series. It is a perfect blend of my two favorite genres (thriller/mystery and sci-fi) and it is very well written.

    Not quite as good as the 2nd book in this series, but still a good read.

    I'm giving this four stars even though I have some problems with the fact that there's so much backstory. I supposed that's natural in a plot as complex as this one. Perhaps there will be a fourth book in this series, making it a quartet.

    In THE BREACH, ex-cop and ex-con Travis Chase stumbles on the Tangent, a shadowy government outfit protecting the Breach, a wormhole which occasionally spits out pieces of what could only be alien technology, it's all so advanced. Tangent studies these Entities, as they're called, but they only learn what they do, not why. Still, the Entities make pretty nifty tools for forwarding the plot.

    I loved THE BREACH, the first book in this series. It kept me up long past my bedtime. I really liked GHOST COUNTRY, just as I like DEEP SKY. And I dug that the audience learns the plot pretty much as Travis does. Patrick Lee makes some very clever moves plot-wise, and he's a no-nonsense writer who tells the damn story.

    Yet there's so much backstory, and much of it—too much of it—is revealed through dialogue in this installment of the trilogy. Even at what should be very tense points (main characters are in a mine shaft with bomb-wielding agents just outside the door), there's a huge amount of dialogue filling the MCs in on info they didn't have. Kind of took away from the intensity for me.

    A missile is launched from a suburban military location that obliterates the oval office and leaves the president of the US dead. Several other influential financial and political representatives are all murdered nearly simultaneously. The only clue left behind are two words scribbled on a piece of paper: "See Scalar". Travis Chase and Paige Campbell set out on a mission to decode the meaning of this message and quickly find themselves unraveling a secret that will change the world forever.Deep Sky, by Patrick Lee, is the last book in the Breach Trilogy and it provides sufficient closure to the series. I would highly recommend starting the series from the beginning with "The Breach" as this particular novel is built upon its successors. Highly recommended for those looking for an exciting and highly imaginative thriller.
