Summary

Can humanity survive on a new world?

On Eos, the last survivors of the Long Winter face their greatest challenge yet - and race to unravel the deepest secrets of the grid. 

The last survivors of the human race escaped a ruined Earth. Their new homeworld - Eos - seemed perfect at first. Warm. Hospitable. Safe from the grid. But everything isn't as it seems. 

The first colony of settlers - from the Carthage - have disappeared. Their settlement is still there, but everyone is gone. As James digs into the mystery of the lost colony, he discovers a series of spheres, buried on Eos. Are they the key to finding the lost colonists? Or are they responsible for their deaths? 

Just as James is unraveling the secrets of the spheres, a storm hits Jericho City. Emma, recently elected mayor, struggles to lead her people to safety while James tries to make his way home. In the middle of the chaos, a new danger emerges - a threat no one saw coming. 

With time running out to save the colonists, James and Emma face their hardest choice yet. 

About THE LOST COLONY

Not the best ending for a trilogy but still a fun read

This is not the best ending for a trilogy but still a fun read. the ending feels a little rushed is all. it's the conclusion for a pretty epic tail all for it to be resolved in maybe 4 short chapters followed by essential an extended epilogue.

Odd conclusion

This veered off near the end and I thought the story had started midway through an alternate universe. Then the ending was quite quick and unexpected.

Great story and mind blowing tale

A great conclusion to an outstanding and captivating trilogy of one man’s drive for survival against the odds . A G Riddle is talented story teller that I will now look for other tittles.

absolutely superb listen

ok I'm not going to say 'I got it at the end' , my little brain was pretty frazzled by it all, but, boy what a story. what a ride. I've enjoyed all three and I didn't see this coming at all. from starting a book i thought was going to be about a new ice age, I've been on a roller coaster trip. narrators were fantastic loved every minute of it. highly recommended

A great trilogy

I am a fan of A.G. Riddle’s books, and this trilogy did not disappoint. A very clever and intriguing conclusion which left me with the feel good factor. I will definitely watch out for future books by this author.

A good easy listen.

Ok so the science bits are very unbelievable but it is a novel after all.

Put that to one side and the trilogy is pretty good. Easy to follow but I thought the final book went a bit off piste.

Having said that I would recommend as a good background listen

in a way predictable but satisfying

one single thing is bothering me, that at the beginning James and a few other characters are basically stupid.
in the second half of the book it seems that they grow their brains back and it's ok

The story just gets better

That was a very nice surprise. The plot gets your brain all into a twist and makes you think of things that are a bit unfathomable.

The first book in the series was slow and uninteresting, but if the second wasn't also free I would never have come across this little marvel.

Well done Gerry! 😊🖖🏼

Mind Blown.........

As someone who reads n watches A LOT of scifi and constantly thinks about the possibilities with technology, I was still profoundly surprised by the plot here. Just when you think you've "seen it all" someone somewhere pushes the bounds of imagination further and shows you a new way of perceiving the world. No spoilers... you'll know what I mean when you read it.
