Deep Sky Audiobook Summary

The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret.

But there is another secret even less known . . . and far more terrifying.

As the U.S. President addresses the nation fromthe Oval Office, a missile screams toward the White House. In a lightning flash, the Chief Executive is dead, his mansion in ruins, and two cryptic words are the only clue to the assassins’ motives: “See Scalar.”

Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent–caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders–along with partner and lover Paige Campbell and technology expert Bethany Stewart, have only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country–and back through time and malleable memory–is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill . . .

Originally Reviewed on The Book SmugglersIn the few years Travis Chase has been free from prison, he’s learned of an anomaly called “The Breach” and the alien technologies – or entities – it inexplicably produces. He’s joined Tangent, the top secret government agency responsible for protecting, analyzing, and understanding The Breach, and has become one of its the top members, next to his girlfriend Paige Campbell. Together, Paige and Travis have stopped a renegade Tangent agent equipped with an entity called The Whisper, and have thwarted a maniacal plan born of the best intentions to stop end of the world. But their work is far from over. When President Garner is assassinated during a television broadcast by an impossible missile, the only clue left by the murderer is a two word phrase – “See Scalar”.The clue leads to a dark secret in Tangent’s past, that unlocks the key to The Breach and the entities being sent through. Scalar will reveal the truth of everything, including the terrifying future that The Whisper revealed in The Breach – a future Travis Chase’s role in the deaths of 20 million people, and a future Paige Campbell’s order to kill Travis before he can.The third and final book in the Travis Chase trilogy, Deep Sky ties all the tantalizing threads from the first two books together in a surprising but ultimately effective and haunting conclusion. While the first two books might have been classified as thrillers with a strong science fiction bend, this final book is a full-fledged, undeniable SF novel that embraces an entity that essentially is applied phlebotinum, more crazy time travel, and paradoxes galore. I mean this in the best possible way, because Deep Sky finishes the trilogy with a grand flourish that, in my opinion, makes perfect sense (in a bittersweet kind of way).The overarching mystery that spans the trilogy is that of Travis Chase’s fate – in The Breach we learn that he is the creator of The Whisper, an artificial intelligence created with Breach technology, sent back in time through the Breach with the sole purpose of placing Travis Chase in front of the Breach in order to intercept a message from a future version of Paige Campbell. Something happens in a distant future – perhaps in an alternate timeline – that tears Paige and Travis apart, resulting in the deaths of millions at Travis’s hands, and causes Paige to give the order to kill him. Everything that has happened in the first two books leads up to this revelation, which is, through twists and turns, unlocked by the Scalar investigation. The investigation unlocks a number of betrayals and secrets, and of course I can’t reveal anything because the reason these books are so fantastic is because of the twistiness and unexpectedness of the plot. Suffice to say, Patrick Lee is in top form, weaving action effortlessly with fringe science in a taughtly written, expertly paced plot. Also, importantly, from a speculative fiction perspective Mr. Lee does a phenomenal job of allowing audiences to suspend disbelief.As with the first two books in the series, a new entity is introduced in Deep Sky and takes center stage – in The Breach it’s The Whisper, in Ghost Country it’s the dual cylinders. In this third novel, it’s The Tap – an entity that allows its wielder to access any memory and relive it, and more. The Tap is pretty badass, and probably my favorite entity of the series (and that’s all I’ll say about it because to say more would be spoiling). Ultimately, I can see how the headlong leap into SF territory, with it’s many alternate plotlines (courtesy of The Tap) might be a little off-putting for some fans, especially those that preferred the thriller aspect of these novels, but in my own opinion, I think Mr. Lee executes the crossover beautifully.As far as our characters are concerned, we get our closest, most soul-searching look at Travis Chase in this final novel. There’s an inevitability to the ending of Deep Sky and the series, but I love that readers have come to understand Travis and Paige and the choices they ultimately make. This isn’t a series too heavy on the character development, but Lee’s characters are human despite their overall level of badassness, genius, and hyper-competency – there are real emotions and moral dilemmas that define Travis and Paige, and though these are seen in fleeting glimpses in books 1 and 2, Deep Sky rounds them out nicely.I finished Deep Sky in a single sitting, like the ravenous, greedy reader I am – and while the ending was fulfilling and made of awesome, I’m left with that painful, wistful feeling. You know the one. It’s the feeling that follows the conclusion of any truly great series. I’m sad to leave Travis and Paige, but I’m excited to see what Patrick Lee writes next. And who knows? Maybe there will be more of the Breach and its entities in the future.

So...we finally get to the end of the trilogy. It's a good trilogy. The writer in this series has set up an interesting and intricate plot. He plays with time and space. You'll have to be willing to accept his view of how time interaction and the explanation he gives about paradox.All that said if you've enjoyed the rest of the trilogy I think you'll like this one...and we get an explanation of something we saw earlier in the books.I liked this book and I like the trilogy, thus I moved right to Mr. Lee's next book...which opens a new series.So, no spoilers here as there is no way I wouldn't ruin something. If you've read the first two then you'll more than likely want to move on to this one. I will say that the ending is...interesting.I like it, I recommend it. Enjoy.

Mein Fazit: Der letzte Band der Trilogie fängt etwas gemächlich an, nimmt aber dann rasant an Fahrt auf! Es wird aber zu keiner Zeit langweilig, weil viele Infos und Überraschungen auf einen warten, unterbrochen durch kleine Action-Szenen im Kampf ums Überleben und einem spannenden Wettlauf gegen die Zeit.Einerseits legt Patrick Lee den Protagonisten immer wieder große Steine in den Weg - andererseits empfand ich es auch wieder hier etwas mysteriös, wie viel Wissen manche der Figuren haben. Auch der Computer-Crack, der sie unterstützt, findet immer alles innerhalb von 1-2 Minuten heraus und ich frage mich jedesmal: geht das tatsächlich so schnell? Das übersteigt irgendwie mein Vorstellungsvermögen ;) Überhaupt die Zeitspannen sind oft sehr gering gesetzt, in denen so viel passiert, das passt mir nicht so ganz zusammen.Wer hier allerdings ein typisches Zeitreiseszenario erwartet wird überrascht sein - hier hat sich der Autor eine sehr coole Idee überlegt, die mir richtig gut gefallen hat und eine tolle Dynamik in die Geschichte bringt. Er erklärt übrigens auch alles technische wirklich gut verständlich und nicht zu ausführlich, um das Tempo nicht zu bremsen, aber so, dass man als Laie sehr gut mitkommt.Es werden auch kleine Erinnerungen an die beiden Vorgänger eingebaut, so dass man die Zusammenhänge erfassen kann.Die Auflösung des ganzen - ich schwanke da etwas. Einerseits fand ich sie gut und auch etwas überraschend, andererseits hatte ich doch das Gefühl, noch etwas mehr erwartet zu haben. Ob damit wirklich alles, was passiert ist, stimmig abgedeckt ist, weiß ich gar nicht genau, ich denke schon - zumindest ist es eine passende Erklärung für viele Fragen und mit der letzten Seite nochmal ein kleiner Kick ins Unerwartete :D

Dakako, prije Dubokog neba ipak treba pročitati Pukotinu pa Zemlju duhova, a sve se čita nevjerojatnom brzinom i lakoćom. Patrick Lee je majstor održavanja akcijskog tempa, stila koji jamči lakoću i brzinu čitanja, idealno za TV seriju, a je li se ipak malo zapleo u radnji ili je sve skupa izvan dometa mene koji ne čitam baš SF, tko će ga znati. U svakom slučaju, čitajući Patrick Leeja možete se pošteno odmoriti od drugih pisaca. :D

In "Deep Sky," our hero Jack Bauer - excuse me, Travis Chase - and his allies in Fringe Division - excuse me, Tangent - face their most dangerous foes yet as they seek an answer to what's on the other side of The Breach, a mysterious hole into another dimension. President Harrison Ford - excuse me, Richard Garner - is [SPOILER OMITTED] and it's up to the thoroughly bland but incredibly murderous John McClane - excuse me, Travis Chase - to rescue ALL OF HUMANITY. I mean look, this series is at once both intricately plotted and lazily executed; the best ideas in the series happened in book one, the 2nd book was a total paperweight, and the saving grace of the conclusion here is that Lee totally commits to some creative insanity to wrap it all up. Timey wimey abuse of the heroes' timeline; Inception level abuse of the characters' memories; and Chase's willingness to slit absolutely anyone's throat ear to ear at any moment - it all adds up to ... well, it gets in the vicinity of adding up to something anyway, but it still gets 4 stars from me because of its commitment to Sparkle Motion. "Deep Sky" never lets up on its commitment to breathless weirdass sci-fi technothriller absurdity and for that, I gotta give props.

Der US-Präsident wird ermordet, der Täter hinterlässt den Hinweis "siehe Skalar". Dieser Hinweis gelangt nach Border Town, dem unterirdischen Sitz des Geheimprojektes "Tangent". Hier wird ein geheim gehaltenes Portal bewacht, das gelegentlich mysteriöse Artefakt ausspuckt, die quasi übernatürliche Dinge möglich machen. Die Leiterin Page und ihr Geliebter Travis recherchieren. Skalar war ein supergeheimes Projekt innerhalb des supergeheimen Tangent-Projektes.Dritter Teil einer Triologie. Den 2. Teil habe ich leider verpasst, was aber nicht extrem schlimm war.Anfangs sehr gut, dann beginnt die ständige Spurensuche ala Dan Brown etwas zu ermüden. Es gibt einen Haufen teils eher unplausibler und unglaubwürdiger Entwicklungen und ufert ideenmässig etwas aus. Andererseits sind viele Ideen doch recht stark und der Schluss ist schön provokant. Man muss gut aufpassen, dass man den Faden nicht verliert.

This book ended this trilogy. Don't know if there will be more but I don't think so. This book is quite good. If the first and second were thrillers with SF elements, this one is the reverse. In this novel we've got Travis and Paige (now it's girlfriend) as they watch the president of USA being killed. The only lead is Scalar that leads to the beginning of Tangent. In this novel we've got all threads resolved, including why Travis Chase actions will kill millions of people and why Paige as to kill him.This third book is full of twists but with a bittersweet ending fulffils my expectations. Patrick Lee is one heck of a writer and one of those that I will buy what he publish. I read that he is publishing a new trilogy of thrillers but I will wait to read them all from the beginning to the end. I think that's the way to read a trilogy. Not waiting for a year. Excelent! Advisable to people who enjoy thrillers, Sci-fi, X-Files and conspiracies theories.

Not till I read the blurb in the beginning, did I know this was a trilogy, when I started his series. This trilogy was a great action/sci-fi series. Conspiracy throughout, with a believable factor to the stories. I felt this one was not quite as good as the first two, but still plenty of action. With a "what do you think?" ending.Patrick Lee is a new favorite author - can't wait for his next series/trilogy or stand alone.

Another interesting entry in the series. I THINK I understand what all happened. It's a little confusing but still a lot of novel ideas here.

Spoilers ahead.Sorry to see this short series of 3 books finished. Premise: Using a Very Large Ion Collider, a team of scientists open a wormhole (The Breach) into somewhere. It periodically spits out a bunch of thingamajigs that are way beyond our technology like a medical healer, transparent suit, a manhole 70 years into the future] etc.First book was about the discovery and control of The Breach, second about someone trying to control the world. This one comes back to being about The Breach and really discovering what it's all about.The book starts off with the president of the US getting killed by a US missile strike and then the VP taking over. However the VP strikes at the Tangent (the group that controls The Breach). The protagonists escape, try to avoid getting killer and try to figure out what's going on. Eventually they discover who is behind The Breach but the book ends in a cliffhanger. Kind of, everything is explained except that we don't know what decision is made at the end, which is not a big deal.I like the book because the writing is easy to read and flows well. The action is fast and there are no slow parts. It also reads like a mystery where the author does a great job of setting up the mystery or problem and the characters try and solve it like a detective protocol. They look at the problem, think up a solution, look for clues and ways to solve it and then go on to the next part once they are done.This has been the best short series I've read in a long time. I'm now reading the next series by this author.
