Our view
“The Pilot”, the fourth “The Last Horizon” novel, turns the spotlight on Omega and the revenge he has waited decades to take. Varic and Omega plan to infiltrate Solstice, the secret organisation running the Galactic Union, but the enemy has formidable devices of its own. Some readers find the series packed with incident but thin on character growth, Omega included. It is for readers already invested in the crew, not a place to start.

About the book
“Sheep, sheep, sheep…I have bad news for you. It’s finally my turn.” Solstice, the secret organization running the Galactic Union, has made an enemy of The Last Horizon. Soon, they will regret it. Varic and Omega have a plan to infiltrate and destroy Solstice’s leaders, removing another threat to the galaxy. Compared to the apocalyptic monsters the crew has faced in the past, this opponent should be simple. Omega has waited decades for his chance at revenge before becoming the Pilot of The Last Horizon. He will do anything for vengeance…or so he believes. Victory will demand more from Omega than he imagines, and it won’t be as easy as he hopes. Solstice has Zenith Devices of their own.
