One of the great pleasures of reading this series from the very beginning has been witnessing not just the characters growth but the maturation of Johnston’s writing style. In The Void I felt the prose exuded a clarity of purpose that perfectly aligned with the emotional development of his protagonist. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am far from a sci-fi buff (in fact a sci-fi movie is the last thing I’d choose to watch on television) but I think the reason I connected with this series is this – Johnston’s dystopia is enough of a stretch from current day to be intriguing while retaining sufficient plausibility for me to find it compelling.Īs foreshadowed in the conclusion of The Freezer, in addition to another well crafted and highly entertaining locked-room mystery (a story framework Agatha Christie fans will be very familiar with) the driving force of The Void is the evolution of Tanner’s philosophical struggle with the brutal rule of the Confederate Combined Forces (CCF).Ĭolumbus had brought new diseases and extremes of hatred and brutality to the New World beyond what had previously been there.Īnd the Terran Confederacy and the Council had brought them to space. Having been hooked by both his leading man Kyle Tanner and dystopian setting in Timothy S Johnston’s The Furnace and then being swept away by the heart pounding action in its follow-up The Freezer, I was eagerly awaiting the final installment in The Tanner Sequence The Void. But he’s being held at the will of master puppeteers, and if he can’t cut the strings, he’ll dance straight to a gruesome, excruciating death…. And when Tanner’s prisoner escapes, he begins to suspect that the proximity of the research vessel had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with the CCF’s relentless reach.įacing near-certain death by his own organization, Tanner must unravel a tangled skein of vengeance, duplicity and murder in deep space. When his ship breaks down in deep space and a CCF research vessel comes to his aid, Tanner realizes he’s in terrible danger: the scientists on board have blocked his distress call. Babysitting a prisoner will bring him to Alpha Centauri, where he can search for a way to escape the CCF forever. After spending years apprehending murderers, he’s ready to hang up his pistol. ![]() Transporting a serial killer might seem like a simple job for CCF Homicide Investigator Kyle Tanner. We've swept like a storm from planet to planet sowing chaos and change wherever we went in search of our sister.It would be easier to kill him than to trust him. There's no way we aren't the ship of chaos that's mentioned. On the bright side, I have noticed that We/MC are mentioned in the prophecy. So I'm hoping you "misspoke" when you said Raene and Nadya are the only two who can't be romanced yet because Eva makes no sense to me and I can't find any hidden scenes like the park with Thyia. There's no decisions with her before her kidnapping, and very few after. So it makes sense we can't romance Nadya yet.īut nothing I can see or think of should or could lead to a relationship with Eva by the end of Episode 12. Nadya is already very open to incest, but currently conflicted. Lilly and Aven were only opened to incest after the memory wipe incident. I can't for the life of me, see how we can jump into a relationship with Eva. I've saved at every decision point in the game. Raene is so much closer to Romance than Eva, all that's missing is the love confession. I've thankfully romanced Thyia, but how the hell do you romance Eva? Ok I've finished another run through the whole game.
