Publisher's Summary
The Last Emperox is the thrilling conclusion to the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today best-selling Interdependency series, an epic space opera adventure from Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi.
The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems - and billions of people - are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction...and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known.
Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the reality of this collapse. But "control" is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be enough.
Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization...or the last emperox to wear the crown?

Excellent narration, ending only ok
Really enjoyed Wheaton's narration, probably the best of any ive heard on audible. I'm also a big fan of this series, it's universe and characters. Unfortunately I found the ending somewhat unsatisfying, it's not bad but not the same standard as the rest of the series probably because the final act seems a bit rushed. It almost feels like there are a few chapters missing (ie planned but then abandoned, not that it doesn't make sense). Overall still a great book and a great series which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Great end to the series but I wish there was more
Great end to the series, and there were some loose threads left open for some other books.
Scalzi has created a very interesting universe with a very interesting backstory/setting. Eagerly awaiting a follow up/in universe book.

Great mainstream Sci Fi
John Scalzi is up there with the greats of sci-fi. This series reminds me of Asimov's Foundation trilogy in the way it has politicians, scientists and military all fighting when Galactic collapse is staring them in the face. Scalzi is an expert at bringing characters in and out of the action. A bit more swearing than usual but it fits the characters. Wil Wheaton (one of my favourites) does a good job, but rushes some of the scenes. Still better than almost all

Brilliant Sci-Fi
This whole trilogy is magnificent. Will Weaton's narration is brilliant. I'm sad to see this end... might just read them all again!

The end
A great ending to an interesting series. A little predictable at times, but well worth a read. Will Weatons performance may not be as engaging as some other performers, but is enthusiastic enough to carry the story into its conclusion.

Fantastic saga - love the narrator
I always like Wil Wheaton and he doesn’t disappoint with this narration - grappling with the tangled names of this series. Full of expression - loved it.
Great story - various plots and twists - great sci fi ideas and inventions which I enjoyed and a dash of physics to get your brain struggling - like that too.
One thing I felt the end was a bit rushed, so much had gone into the build up. Still satisfactory - really enjoyed the whole saga.

4 stars
I wanted to give this 5 stars. I enjoyed the story, but it really did only feel like the conclusion of an ongoing story, and not a full novel unto itself. Characters fell flat (with the exception of the foul mouthed Keva who not once failed to impress) and as a whole did not feel there was a lot that happened over the span of the novel by comparison to the first two books.
As a conclusion to the trilogy, it was satisfying. As a novel, it felt half finished.
