Book 3 of the #1 Best-Selling Space Opera
THE DEFIANT IS STRANDED
Ethan and his son, Atton, have been arrested for high treason and conspiracy, crimes which will surely mean the death sentence, but it’s beginning to look like theirs aren't the only lives in jeopardy—the Defiant is stranded in Sythian Space, and the vessel which Commander Caldin sent to get help has used all its fuel to get to Obsidian Station, only to find out that the station has been destroyed. Now the Defiant’s last hope for a rescue is gone, and everyone on board is about to die a cold, dark death.
HUMANS ARE STILL FIGHTING EACH OTHER
Meanwhile, the notorious crime lord, Alec Brondi, is plotting to capture the remnants of Admiral Hoff’s fleet, just as he captured the Valiant, but Hoff’s men are on to him, and Brondi is about to get a lot more than he bargained for, forcing him to flee to the one place he knows will be safe—Dark Space.
AND A NEW INVASION IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
But Dark Space is only safe because the alien invaders don’t know exactly where it is, and now they have a plan to find it which will threaten not only Dark Space, but the entire human race.

The book was really great! It had everything you could want in a story. Parts were a little long winded but I can live with it. I would recommend this book and the first 2( which I also read) to anyone who enjoys a great story.

3.0 out of 5 stars A grand story(Spoilers)
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014

I was looking forward to the publication of this book to see where the author was going to take us on this continuing journey. For that I was not disappointed. The first portion of the book found me struggling to recall what had happened to the some of the characters in the past books. I was confused by one character having spent 3 years, an unbelievably long time for such a hostile locale, not suffering longer term repercussions, especially for such a key character. (Afraid of the dark, perpetually cold, etc.....) At the mid point of this book it felt as though all the loose ends were going to be winding up too neatly. There was entirely too much time spent on the mundane luxury which was being enjoyed by a few, while the masses "suffered". I did not find it plausible that a space ship, could realistically hide a chamber the way it was described.....only one lift and two entry points.....one protected by a "maze"......The last third of the book, is when the author got back on track, the treatment of the the Gors, was seemingly set aside too easily, torture and stasis, but still they come through and make the difference...There were too many leaps of faith, how did Koan manage to get a rescue ship to himself after so many SLS Jumps...one that got so close to leave the XO with zero options...The tech and the bigger story warrant more copy, but not the mundane.

Another will written fantasy world 🌎 space opera family and friends relationships adventure thriller novel by Jasper T. Scott (Dark Space book 3). A wonderful space opera about the war between people to control the planets and stars. There is romance between new loves. If you want lots of action, misdirection, and violence as the battles are continuously occurring. I would recommend this series and author to 👍 readers of space opera adventure novels 👍🔰. Enjoy the adventure of reading 👓 or listening 🎶 to Alexa read books 📚. 2023 😀👒☺😡

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy Ending, but It's Not the End...
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014

Dark Space Origin is the space opera finale of the struggles between the remnants of the Dark Space based ISS fleet (not sure you'd even call it a fleet) and their survival against Brondi's gang of thugs and the Sythian menace. If you haven't already done so, please start with book 1 and work you way to book 3, or else it won't make much sense.

By now, the characters have been developed and have their own personalities. My favorite character turned out to be a tie between Ethan and chipped Alara. Alara seems to be more interesting with her chipped personality, and her skills seem to be augmented.

There are many plot twists and turns, some which you may like or not, but overall the book kept me interested and wanting to see the heroes through to the end. The science behind Dark Space is much more realistic than, say, Star Wars, which is a key drawing point to me. For example, space is a vacuum and therefore explosions would not have sounds, yet almost every sci-fi book I've picked up (and abandoned) feature sound and the lack of Newtonian physics. I like sci-fi that features real science, not Harry Potter'isque fantasy. Although there were some gaps in the story line that needed to be addressed, I believe Mr. Scott did a great job delivering on the story overall.

If I had to pick a gripe about the book, it's humanities's insistence to destroy itself even in the face of annihilation at the hands of an external enemy. In my opinion, were an alien race suddenly show up on Earth and try to destroy the human race, I would like to think humanity would stand together to fight it and not fight against each other for self-destructive purposes. But then again, if humanity's declination to combat global warming and rising sea levels is proof of anything in real life, it's that humanity does not and will not proactively stand together to fight anything until it's too late and the damage is done. Proof 'nuff. With that in mind, it's a crap shoot as far as whether or not humans will stick together, so in this sense, it does help explain why Brondi and his men continue to exploit Dark Space even in the face of extermination.

I had posted a review immediately after the book came out, having been one of the early beta readers, so I was pretty upset to find out my review that I had posted awhile back didn't make it. I'm not sure what happened to it, but noticed it's not there and it's not in my history. I wrote quite a bit of details and it's been awhile, so unfortunately I don't recall exactly what I wrote many months ago. I hope this review is useful to someone!

And now having finished reading book 4... there's some more fun if you're into this kind of stuff. Look out for it tomorrow! May 15, 2014.

Os ingredientes escolhidos pelo autor são ótimos mas a receita não foi tão bem preparada. O autor abusa das coincidências o que tira muito da consistência da história. Mesmo assim ainda é uma leitura divertida.

Dark Space 3 is a wonderful continuation of the first two books. The Invisible War not only has plenty of action, it restores your faith in humanity. Humanity overcomes it's natural mistrust of anything not human and learns to stand united against a common enemy with an entirely different species in the ultimate battle. The batlle for survival.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2014

Once again J.T.Scott does not disappoint. Having read Books 1,2 and now 3, the whole series flows beautifully. The imaginative writing combined with very descriptive and detailed aspects of the action, which does not stop from beginning to end, keeps the reader totally engrossed and wondering what twist is going to be introduced next. All of the books , but especially "Origin", shows an imagination so outstanding and broad that to put my Kindle down so that I can get some sleep was not easy and I found that I had to set my alarm to warn me to take a note of the time . I am looking forward to the next in line
