The Finder Chronicles, Book 4

De: Suzanne Palmer

Narrado por: Paul Woodson

The fourth and final installment of the Finder Chronicles, a hopepunk sci-fi caper described as Macgyver meets Firefly, by Hugo Award–winner Suzanne Palmer

Fergus Ferguson, professional finder, always knew his semi-voluntary exile wouldn’t last, but he isn’t expecting a friend to betray him. One of the galaxy’s most dangerous space pirates, Bas Belos, wants him, and what Belos wants, he gets. Belos needs help finding out what happened to his twin sister, who mysteriously disappeared at the edges of space years ago, and he makes Fergus an offer he can’t refuse.

Mysterious disappearances and impossible answers are Fergus’s specialties. After he reluctantly joins Belos and his crew aboard the pirate ship Sidewider, he discovers that Belos is being tracked by the Alliance. Seeking to stay one step ahead of the Alliance, Fergus and Belos find themselves marooned in the middle of the Gap between spiral arms of our galaxy, dangerously near hostile alien territory, and with an Alliance ship in hot pursuit.

That’s just the beginning of the complications for Fergus’ newest—and possibly last—job. The puzzle is much bigger than just Belos’s lost sister, and the question of his future, retirement or not, depends on his ability to negotiate a path between aliens, criminals, and the most powerful military force he’s ever encountered. The future of entire planets hangs in the balance, and it remains to be seen if it’s too big for one determined man and his cranky cat.

I wish it wouldn't end.

I know it's supposed to be the final book in the series. But I cant help but hope the author will tell us that she was just yanking out chain. Before I knew it the book was over and I still have so many questions.

Space Pirates

Book 4 was fantastic. Space pirates, does it get better? I certainly hope she writes more in this series but this was strong finish. Love me some Fergus

Great reader!

Would love this series to continue! Love the adventures Fergus gets into and want to listen to more!

Unbelievably amazing story!

This series is amazing and never seems to get old I find myself coming back to it and listening from start to finish time and time again. This installment did not disappoint. The narration, starting right from where the last ended, and amazingly filled in back stories were such a Joy! An absolute must listen do not hesitate to get the entire series at once you will not be disappointed. I was very worried about this particular book ending differently, but the surprise ending made me so very happy. Thank you Ms. Susan Palmer for the hours of wonder, please keep your journey going can’t wait to see what’s next!

Great capstone to a great series

A fast paced adventure where planning and audacity take center stage rather than high tech weaponry. I’ve enjoyed the whole of the Finder series and would happily read more, but if the adventures of Feargus end here, it is a very satisfying way to wrap his story.

Imaginative

A seller finale to Ferg's hijinks. Some hard SF aspects, with some truly creative alien culture. Crying through the whole last chapter.

another strong chapter in the finder series

Palmer has become a favorite, the finder series has strong stories, the kind that keeps you adding to your sleep timer just a bit more. strong lead in Fergus Ferguson, but her ability to add strong and new characters to add to that like the crew of sidewinder is impressive. the added horer and comic relief of the asig has also been a strong part, some of which gets explained this time.

her world building is impressive,

It’s a great book 10/10 highly recommend the series

It’s a great book 10/10 highly recommend the series I hope for a 5th book

Fitting conclusion to the story

Love this series and the final installment did not disappoint in the slightest! I’ve heard Palmer is cooking up more stories in this universe and I await them eagerly.

Great Series!

This was definitely a case of "couldn't wait to read/listen and didn't want it to finish"! I read predominantly female authors and I'm always delighted when I find one who writes such layered male protagonists who aren't romantically driven. Much like Martha Wells' Murderbot, Fergus feels deeply for his friends and family as he adventures. The humor was spot on as well. I could follow Fergus (and Mr. Feeves!!) around for another 10 books!!!
