Synopsis

"A gripping read that moves at warp speed." -- Jack Campbell on The Lazarus War: Artefact

For someone who has died and come back as many times as Conrad Harris, the nickname Lazarus is well-deserved. His elite military teams are specialists in death -running suicide missions in simulant bodies to combat the alien race known as the Krell.But now the Krell Empire has wreaked such devastation that military command is desperate for a new strategy. And Harris and his team are being sent on a mission that could finally turn the tide of the war.

[URL not allowed] Un dernier tome de trilogie pêchu et divertissant qui nous tiens en halène jusqu'au grand final. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, cette trilogie commençait avec L'artefact un premier tome qui m'avait vraiment bien plu de par son atmosphère un peu horrifique. E......more

Goodreads review by Lubos on March 11, 2020

Epilóg dosť pokazil celkový dojem, akoby sa autor ponáhľal mať to za sebou alebo si editor neurobil svoju robotu. Priveľmi melodramaticky a stereotypne uzavreté.......more

Goodreads review by Gregoire on September 28, 2016

Tout plein d'actions et de rebondissements, une guerre terrifiante, des aliens, et une fin satisfaisante Bref, super série bien construite, bien écrite. L'utilisation du récit à la 1ere personne n'autorisant pas d'autres perspectives que celles de Conrad, il m'a manqué une autre vision-réflexion plus......more

"Gripping, gritty and unsentimental - Sawyer shows us how perilous future war can be."—Michael Cobley, on The Lazarus War: Artefact

"A hostile race of alien biomechs somewhat in the mould of H. R. Giger aliens . . . terrorism, subterfuge and traitors . . . starships sporting particle beam weapons, railguns the size of skyscrapers, laser batteries, missiles . . . And then there are the uber-human super-soldiers clad in powered armour and wielding plasma weapons . . . Is that enough for you? . . . This, dear readers, is the good stuff.
