Deep Sky

By Patrick Lee

“Lee has an intense brand of storytelling….[He’s] the real deal.”
 Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key

Patrick Lee’s extraordinary Breach trilogy comes to an explosive and breathtaking conclusion with Deep Sky—as Travis Chase of the ultra-secret government agency Tangent finally comes face to face with the decision that could determine the ultimate fate of the world. With The Breach, Ghost Country, and now Deep Sky, Patrick Lee has established himself as a major voice in the thriller genre, combining ingenious scenarios with non-stop action and X-Files-like strangeness. His electrifying fiction has earned exuberant praise from a host of New York Times bestselling masters of suspense (“Audacious and terrifying” —Lee Child, “Brilliant…Pure exhilaration from the first page to the last” —James Rollins, “WOW! Double Wow!...Makes Tom Clancy look like the slowest child in the class.” —Stephen Coonts). Everything ends here…and there is nowhere on Earth to hide.

Reviews for Deep Sky

[stacy_chambers-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I'm giving this four stars even though I have some problems with the fact that there's so much backstory. I supposed that's natural in a plot as complex as this one. Perhaps there will be a fourth book in this series, making it a quartet.

In THE BREACH, ex-cop and ex-con Travis Chase stumbles on the Tangent, a shadowy government outfit protecting the Breach, a wormhole which occasionally spits out pieces of what could only be alien technology, it's all so advanced. Tangent studies these Entities, as they're called, but they only learn what they do, not why. Still, the Entities make pretty nifty tools for forwarding the plot.

I loved THE BREACH, the first book in this series. It kept me up long past my bedtime. I really liked GHOST COUNTRY, just as I like DEEP SKY. And I dug that the audience learns the plot pretty much as Travis does. Patrick Lee makes some very clever moves plot-wise, and he's a no-nonsense writer who tells the damn story.

Yet there's so much backstory, and much of it—too much of it—is revealed through dialogue in this installment of the trilogy. Even at what should be very tense points (main characters are in a mine shaft with bomb-wielding agents just outside the door), there's a huge amount of dialogue filling the MCs in on info they didn't have. Kind of took away from the intensity for me.

Not quite as good as the 2nd book in this series, but still a good read.

A missile is launched from a suburban military location that obliterates the oval office and leaves the president of the US dead. Several other influential financial and political representatives are all murdered nearly simultaneously. The only clue left behind are two words scribbled on a piece of paper: "See Scalar". Travis Chase and Paige Campbell set out on a mission to decode the meaning of this message and quickly find themselves unraveling a secret that will change the world forever.Deep Sky, by Patrick Lee, is the last book in the Breach Trilogy and it provides sufficient closure to the series. I would highly recommend starting the series from the beginning with "The Breach" as this particular novel is built upon its successors. Highly recommended for those looking for an exciting and highly imaginative thriller.

Not a bad ending to this Travis Chase trilogy. The last 50 pages were far more exciting than the rest of the book as it seemed to drag just a bit.

The adventure continues at an even more fantastical level in this the final book of the Travis Chase trilogy. The excellent plot continues here with some new unseen twists and an ending which is suitably out there for this trilogy. Whilst this story was excellent I did find Ghost Country to be the best book of the trilogy myself.

I even like the title.This story is a bit more sci-fi (or speculative) than the 2nd book, but it is still, essentially, a thriller book with a hint of sci-fi in how the technical/tools enable the events to occur. So, the world is not sci-fi, nor are people's behaviors, or the society, but there are a slew of alien tools that make the story just brush into the sci-fi realm.Great little twist in here too - I didn't see it coming, but, in hindsight, it was not all that unexpected after all! The author lead us so oh-so-subtly down a road that it isn't until we are at the end of that road that we realize how well-crafted it was.I really wish there were more books in this series. It is a perfect blend of my two favorite genres (thriller/mystery and sci-fi) and it is very well written.

The ending is a bit underwhelming given how it starts with the The Breach and continues with Ghost Country. Still its a riveting read.

Have to appreciate a series that gets where it's going.

[Kent · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

All 3 books in this series are wonderful contributions - they put Patrick Lee on a level field of the great authors of contemporary science fiction.

After zooming through the first two books, I dove immediately into the third. This one was slightly more difficult to follow in audio (just one main point of the plot, really, that I felt I had missed), but still I highly recommend it if you like a blend of contemporary thriller and futuristic technology.
