Now that the war is over, Outlaw returns to Earth to break his lost lover Liam out of prison. But what the VP of the club experienced is still unknown. Outlaw must prepare for the worst—a broken lover that he took too long to rescue. Meanwhile, Mars is rebuilding under new leadership but the peace is short lived with an old enemy on the loose. And Prospect has some unexpected revelations, like his crush on Outlaw. As if the president of the Outlaw MC didn’t have enough to deal with.
Finding Liam in an abandoned Earth prison is his goal, the rest of the universe will have to wait. Outlaw only hopes he isn’t too late to be Liam’s hero.
REVIEW:
This was the last book in the series, supposedly. Now he has added a Christmas Story…? Yes, of course I’ll be reading it! As will all James Cox fans.
Let’s talk about this current book. I had hoped that this final book would give us closure and it would be all done. Honestly, I love the author, but I think this particular series lived its life and should be put to bed. This final book is ok, but I don’t think it would work at all as a standalone. If I were picking it up as the first book in the series, to be really honest, I might not continue. That said, it does give us a wrap-up of the story, albeit in a less than completely satisfactory manner. I was left wondering for example, if the air is so clean and crisp on Earth, why aren’t they shuttling people the other way instead of back to an arid Mars?
On the positive side, we finally got Outlaw’s and Liam’s story and even got a 5’3” twink thrown into the mix. We got rid of the last ultra-bad guy, and life seems to be settling down on Mars. I’ve enjoyed Mr. Cox’s Outlaw MC of Mars, and look forward to his next work. I’d really like to see him put out a standalone full length book, instead of another serial, but I’ll be happy with whatever we get! We’ll see what he has in store.
I recommend this book for closure on the series. If you’ve been following along, you’ll want to read it to finish it off. If you haven’t read the series and like a serialized soft sci-fi story with some motorcycle club sex thrown in, then give the series of 8 books a try.
