Falling Angels doesn’t hold back; it hits like a shockwave. Thomas concludes the Maxx King trilogy with a brutal, high-voltage blend of warfare, betrayal, and raw human grit. I had read the books, but this is the first audiobook in the series I've listened to, and now I’ll go back and listen to the first two because the audio greatly enhances the story. The pace is relentless, the stakes are global, and the emotion is razor-sharp. Maxx isn’t your typical action hero; he’s scarred, dangerous, and painfully honest. His loyalty is both his strength and his curse. Scott Fleming’s narration is pure adrenaline: gritty, emotional, and impossible to ignore. What makes this stand out is the emotional fallout beneath the explosions. Falling Angels is more than a thriller; it’s a gut punch of personal and global consequences, loyalty, and survival that leaves you wondering if any of this really happened.

After Masters of War, I didn’t think this series could get any more intense—but Falling Angels absolutely delivers. Thomas brings Maxx King’s story to a close, balancing nonstop global action with emotional depth. The narration by Scott Fleming is phenomenal, giving every chase, betrayal, and quiet moment real impact. The pace never falters, and the tension feels almost real. What surprised me most was the depth beneath the chaos—Maxx’s loyalty, love for Gabby, and moral struggle make this more than a thriller. It’s an epic, human finale that left me sad that this was the end of the trilogy. ★★★★★
