Several years after the events of The Rise of The Boe, Earth is trying desperately to come to terms with the social and economic changes demanded by The Fold. In the absence of Jett Javelin, a new force, known only as The Iron, has, with the help of Hazbog, organized itself in direct opposition to The Fold. The paramilitary group's villainization of The Fold continues to gain traction and converts as it operates in the shadows. Abcde, compelled by a hallucinogenic vision, kidnaps Jett's brother Jack and, along with mentalist Maria, enlists his help to save the planet from its biggest existential threat yet: a being whose sole purpose is to undermine The Fold at every turn. In the thrilling conclusion to The Tinker and The Fold trilogy, old friends will reunite to battle ancient foes and uncover hidden truths while asking the question, is The Fold truly good?"The fleet narrative never has any dead spots and boasts a clever range of aliens of all shapes, sizes, and appendages. It also has just the right balance of tongue-in-cheek (when a life form happens to have a tongue or a cheek) and serious elements when it comes to pondering moral issues and dilemmas."-Kirkus Reviews
