Our view
“Only Human” closes the Themis Files trilogy by turning to a divided Earth and, at last, to the alien world. The final volume also changes narrator, and some readers welcome these shifts. Others feel the grand adventure of the earlier books has lost its drive and miss a character from them, though some praise the ending. Worth finishing for anyone who has come this far with the series.

About the book
We always thought the biggest threat to humanity would come from the outside. We were wrong. As the human race picks up the pieces of destruction left behind, a new world order emerges. New alliances are formed. Old divisions are strengthened. And, with a power struggle fuelled by the threat of mutually assured destruction, nothing is certain. At a time when the world's nations should have been coming together, they have never been more divided. With the human race teetering on the brink of total war, Rose, Vincent and Eva must choose sides. But doing the right thing might mean making the ultimate sacrifice.
