The only reason I did not give this book a Five was because I believed that the second book was a Five, and this was not as good as the second book. That having been said, this book is great otherwise! Had it been judged alone, and not compared, it would be a strong 5. Lee once again walks the fine line between action and emotion. There is enough action to keep the pace going, and enough emotion to keep the story fleshed out. I finished it in 3 days, and often read until 3 or 4 in the morning with "Just another page" in mind. Very good, I can't wait for the 4th one to come out!

A good continuation of the series. The characters continue to evolve and the plot continues to grow. I do recommend reading the first two in the series. He does a good job bringing you up to date, but I think you will miss the subtle meanings found in this book.

Hero Review: Stephanie Police

The following review contains spoilers. If you have not yet read Hero, then continue at your own risk. Click the button below to view.

Hero is without a doubt the most revealing book of the three. Within its pages you get to really understand what Scott is going through, and understanding why it is he feels compelled to stay a Nightman instead of walking away. His inner struggles become clear and he becomes a new person.

But what Hero also does, is reveal that there are deeper sides to people that you didnt expect. That there are secrets that each character has and what happens when they either get exposed or almost exposed.

Then there is the Eden Command. In the first two books there was a lot of speculation and hinting at things, but in Hero there are many more details added in and while nothing is given away, your mind tolls away, tring to figure it out and making you thirtsy for more information.

Hero also starts to tie the world of the Eden Command with the world of Novosibirsk, which could lead to consequences that may win or lose the war for earth.

It is a page turner and an addicting read that makes you want to pick up the next book to find out more. I loved it.

Review of Hero

Hero is about evolution. The evolution of the alien war and it's characters. The evolution of Scott, and what appears to be the evolution of the Nightman into something... more.

For the first time in the Epic Series, you are introduced to some aliens on a personal level, and you immediately know that these "people" will play a major role in the story. Who is H'laar and what is his message? Is Tauthin a friend to Scott or just a friendly enemy.

But not only is Hero the evolution of a captivating story, it is about redemption. Does what you have done, make you who you are? Or does embracing what you have done make you stronger? Is there forgiveness for a murderer? The answer to that may actually surprise you.
