Summary

In the third book in The Red Trilogy, former army lieutenant James Shelley becomes a black ops sniper working for the Red - a suspected rogue artificial intelligence that is ripped from today's headlines.

James Shelley has left his lover, Delphi, and his companion-in-arms, Jayne Vasquez, with a fortune acquired from a fallen oligarch. They believe him to be dead, and he doesn't try to set the record straight. His long-running question has been answered: There are other soldiers like him who have served the purposes of the Red - and he has accepted his place among them.

As a soldier of the Red he pursues covert missions designed to nudge history away from existential threats - but that doesn't mean the world is growing more orderly. It's only in the froth of a managed chaos that human potential can grow and thrive. Shelley's missions eventually take him into orbit and into conflict with those he loves - Delphi and Jaynie, who are determined to escape the influence of the Red.

No happy ending but more realistic for it

I have bing listened to the 3 audiobooks in this series about Shelley and the Red and overall I have really enjoyed them, at times I found the political bias and lecturing a bit much but it didn’t detract from what was essentially a military sci fi tale, my biggest complaint is the narrator, he has really made listening a chore not a pleasure and I endured rather than fully enjoyed this last book
