Alex White

Book - 2020

"The rag-tag crew of the Capricious is hunting down rogue AI, ancient colony ships, and the biggest treasure the universe has ever seen in the final book of this pulse-pounding space adventure series for fans of Firefly and The Expanse. The crew of the Capricious seems to leave a trail of devastation wherever they go. But with powerful enemies in pursuit and family and friends under attack planetside, there's no time to worry about all that. Ensnared by the legend of Origin, humanity's birthplace, and a long-dead form of magic, the Capricious takes off on a journey to find the first colony ship ... and magic that could bring down gods"--Provided by publisher.

Review by Booklist Review

The fight continues among the crew of the Capricious and the Children of the Singularity, the Gods of the Harrow, and many others. With the execution of Hannah Fulsom's daughter, Rebecca, the team has concluded one mission, only to be sent on another. In order to prevent anyone in the universe from getting their hands on the old data cube that Rebecca was attempting to buy, the Capricious crew must get to it first. Hannah, a god in her ability to teleport, is not going to let her daughter's death go unanswered, and she begins to attack the people that Nilah Brio, a crew member of the Capricious, loves. On the continued treasure hunt for old technology while loved ones' lives are at stake, the crew must remain focused and steadfast to save the day--although Nilah, as a former racer, does slip up now and again. This space-opera series will pull readers into an adventure to save the universe, and they will love the characters and the vivid atmosphere created by White (A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe, 2018).

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

The unputdownable final space opera of White's Salvagers trilogy (following A Bad Deal for the Whole Galaxy) launches the scrappy crew of the Capricious into a deadly, all-or-nothing battle against a magic-wielding genocidal maniac who plans to obliterate life across the galaxy. Lives, treasures, and entire planets have been lost, and now the wisecracking, sharp-edged Capricious salvage crew must race to track down the last pieces of knowledge and technology they need to defeat Henrick Witts, a foe who possesses godly magic that was thought to be long forgotten. As if they weren't in over their heads already, they must also locate the mythic, heavily defended location of humanity's homeworld, and face down Witts's lethal space station, which has the capacity to devastate entire starship fleets. White's tale of justice and vengeance sends the series out on a high note with electrifying action sequences, depth, and darkness. This thrilling finale will have readers on the edges of their seats.
