Book Review: The Blue of Antyllus by Michael E. Gonzales

Blurb:

The alien world of Antyllus is moving forward under new rule now that the war has been fought and won. With the native E’meset tribe joining with the emerging rebel Earth forces against Wilmington, the nefarious commander of the corrupt IIEA army of mercenaries, a tenuous peace has been patched together—but the solution for that peace is not workable for some, and whispers of a deadly uprising are in the wind...

Captain Nash Rastaban tries to rebuild his life after being duped into fighting with Wilmington’s iniquitous forces. He is recruited by Dave Mitchell to help quell the mercenaries who plan to take over Antyllus—a battle he wants no part of. But when he stands to lose all he holds dear, he realizes that peace is something he is going to have to fight for—this time, on the right side.

Will Antyllus ever be settled? Can the E’meset trust the humans and SUBs to fight alongside them against those corrupt officials who would take over Antyllus for their own gain? Power is a formidable motivator, but Antyllus—and all it stands for—is worth this fight…worth dying for. Nash and the ragtag band of soldiers he leads are determined to protect their homes, their loves, and their lives—even if it means making a last, defiant stand here in THE BLUE OF ANTYLLUS…

My review:

Travel back to the future at Antyllus, the new world colony that after dealing with the evil discovered in Vampires of Antyllus book 4, is still rocking and reeling and settling into a new life. We meet Tanny, Nash, Joe, and Nista and experience with them the trials and triumphs of settling a new land and dealing with old hurts and mindsets along with new hope and acceptances. But there still are some around who have evil in their hearts and aren’t as willing to conform to their supposed fates. Danger and prejudices are faced as the final nefarious remnants are exposed and deal with both on a large scale and on more personal levels. Life happens and both tears of joy and sorrow are felt as the people of Antyllus claim their destiny. This is an awesome conclusion to The Unborn Galaxy series.

Love how the last part is like an extended epilogue, bringing back past favorite characters and tying up the series with fireworks.  You definitely don't want to miss out on this story!
