SkyWake Endgame picks up where SkyWake Battlefield left off. Casey and her team have just returned to Earth to discover that the world as they knew it has completely changed. The Red Eyes have control over everyone and are in pursuit of all pieces of the array so they can dominate the entire world... and Casey's brother, Pete, is helping them. With only one more array to find, the race is on to stop them before it's too late. With the help of the resistance fighters, it's up to Casey and her teammates to save the world.
I have been a huge fan of this series since the very beginning and have waited patiently for each book. Now, with the end in sight, I dove straight in to Endgame as soon as I bought it. As with Battlefield, I love that the book begins with a 'the story so far...' chapter which brings readers right back up to speed, which means that you don't miss a beat when you begin chapter one.
For Casey and her friends, time has barely passed; however, on Earth four years have gone by and everything has changed: London has been totally destroyed and the majority of the people are too terrified to stand-up to the aliens. Casey remains a strong character but knowing that her brother has taken the side of the Red Eyes is something that would be difficult for anyone to accept.
Whilst I have never been a big gamer, I have loved the gaming theme that has been pivotal to the story-line and it has been popular in school, helping to draw in more reluctant readers. Coupled with Casey as the lead character, this has been a series that has had big appeal and I shall miss the books.
From the very start of Endgame, the book is an action-packed rollercoaster of an adventure that doesn't let up. There are surprises along the way that will keep you on your toes but I promise that you won't be able to put the book down. A brilliant ending to a gripping series. I'm looking forward to see what Jamie will write next.
