Ilustration Supposing Books The Gap Into Madness: Chaos and Order (Gap #4)

As the planetoid Thanatos Minor explodes into atoms, a specially-fitted cruiser escapes the mass destruction and hurtles into space only a step ahead of hostile pursuit. On board Trumpet are a handful of bedraggled fugitives from an outlaw world, old enemies suddenly and violently thrown together in a desperate bid for survival.

Among this unlikely crew of allies are Morn Hyland, once a UMC cop, now a prisoner to the electrodes implanted in her brain; her son, Davies, “force-grown” to adulthood by the alien Amnion and struggling to understand his true identity; the amoral space buccaneer Nick Succorso, whose most daring act of piracy could be his last; and Angus Thermopyle, unstoppable cyborg struggling to wrest control of his own mind from his UMC programmers.

Locked in a lethal batter against one another for control of Trumpet, they also find themselves the target of Punisher, a police ship whose human captain, Min Donner, is torn between her duty and her sympathy for the outlaw crew she’s been ordered to capture. Yet as Min races to reach Trumpet in time, Warden Dios, the director of the UMC Police, receives a darker directive from the mysterious, semi-immortal Dragon, ruler of the UMC: Kill everyone aboard Trumpet except for the one person whose blood carries the mutagenic key to ultimate Amnion triumph—the ability to appear perfectly human.

In a final titanic showdown in space, amid uncharted comets, planets, and asteroid swarms, these forces will converge in a contest of skill and survival on which their future—and the future of the galaxy—depends.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books The Gap Into Madness: Chaos and Order (Gap #4)

This book is quite a change of pace from the previous iterations in the series. The frenetic pace and relentless action takes a back seat while the wheeling and dealing, politicking, double crossing and manipulation take their turn in the drivers seat. But fear not (that's the characters job, not the readers), the time is well spent moving the pieces around the board to set up an action packed ending.I like the way the story is revealed from so many different aspects, but I was quickly

The best one yet. When did this series get so damn good?The stakes rise on both a personal and interstellar level, as Morn and the rest of the crew aboard Trumpet struggle to survive amidst chaos and treachery. Meanwhile war with the technologically superior Amnion looks imminent...Fair warning: this series is dark; and seems to get darker with each instalment. It's like Donaldson sits back and thinks: "what else can I do to really fuck with the characters? Really drive them insane?" Well, it's

Stephen Donaldson's "Gap" series is one my favorite series. My father handed me the first one, saying, "This first one is full of violence and rape and you'll probably hate all the characters in this first book, but the story just keeps getting better."He was right. The story begins with a space pirate attack on a police ship and the "rescue" of the last survivor on the police ship and concludes with the human race fighting the Amnion, an alien species capable of extreme genetic manipulation.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to effectively review this series without being either deliberately simple or spoiler-heavy. But I'll try.So far, I think this has been my favorite of the lot. This one is insane. The narrative and the stakes are immensely high, and I've rarely seen a group of characters who despise one another so immensely, or so justifiably. Perhaps "A Game of Thrones," but I've only read the first book and it didn't exactly blow me away. Although, interestingly, I've

Intense.

I can't praise this series, this book, and Donaldson enough! He's masterful, this book is the best one yet (how is it possible to get better than the masterpieces before it?!?!), and this series is right up there with Thomas Covenant in my opinion. Donaldson is the Stephen King of Fantasy and Sci-fi. He is literally the best in those genres, in my opinion. He handles super complex plot lines as if they are no big deal, like a walk in the park. He handles the raw emotions of the human condition

A great fourth book! This is where the excitement really picks up, and this becomes a very action packed book. We follow along Morn's journey with Angus and Nick, and her new son Davies. There is plenty of despair, as it's a bleak series, but don't let that dissuade you. It fleshes out the warped series that Donaldson is telling. Think Game of Thrones, but told in a sci-fi series twenty years earlier, when evil deeds, killing, raping, and despair, and these things were frowned upon at the time.
