Books like Prophet, Volume 5: Earth War

What a magnificent end to the series. Graham does not compromise one iota in terms of the qualities that made the first volume so compelling for me, qualities I wouldn't exactly describe as "commercial." The conclusion opens new vistas and introduces new species of weirdness, while still providing a satisfying enough sense of closure. A series as engaging and imaginative as this doesn't deserve a neat ending, a tying up of loose ends, an answer to all its questions. It deserves something grander: Space to make the universe feel even bigger and weirder. Which Graham delivers.
