About this ebook
On a planet decimated by plague and political upheaval, young Vel has survived by living on his wits. A seasoned con man who has learned to think only of himself, Vel is forced to choose sides in a civil war. But the choice is made more complicated when Vel learns the truth about a mysterious alien race that predated the settlers of Hera.
It turns out that Vel may not be who he thinks he is.

Reviews for Hope's End
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The surviving human colony on Hope is barely clinging to survival: a fearsome plague kills hundreds, the harvest is too small, and the leaders are increasingly crazy and/or fascist. Vel, an annoying, whiny, privileged little idiot who thinks he's very clever indeed, gets caught up in dangerous machinations because he's secretly related to the royal family. The author clearly hadn't thought very hard about how the colony worked, and his laziness showed. Hope is a dreadfully inconsistant place. This, coupled with my dislike of Vel, led me to give up on this book about halfway through.
