The final book in the thrilling Navigator trilogy.Twice the Harsh have tried to destroy time, and twice Owen and the Resisters have banded together to stop them. In City of Time, Owen killed the Harsh king, and now the Harsh are hungry for revenge. Their massive fleet is ready to set sail on the sea of time and hunt down the wily Navigator. In this third and final adventure, the Navigator and his friends use every last ounce of bravery and endurance to fight the toughest battle ever. As Owen searches for a solution, he travels through time to meet his father and grandfather, and discovers that the mysterious Frost Child holds the key to the power of the Harsh.From the Hardcover edition.Kirkus ReviewsIn this final volume of the Navigator Trilogy, the Harsh have returned after a very short interval, determined to reverse time permanently and eliminate life from the universe. Owen, now a teen, travels through time finding ways to stop the frequent invasions, while the Resistors hold the enemy off at home. The series's readers will rejoice at meeting favorites from previous books, while McNamee provides new (and predictably unconventional) acquaintances to balance them. Suspense and tension mount with each new chapter of this page-turner. The author's skillful use of fantasy tropes produces interesting juxtapositions that place traditional elements in unexpected settings with unique, eccentric characters. The ending will please fans: The climax is breathtaking and the resolution satisfactory (if a little fuzzy on detail). Although the swiftly moving plot may draw in the uninitiated, devotees of the first two books are the natural audience for this one. The story ends with the dissolution of the villainous Harsh, but the Resistors have retired again to the long sleep of the Starry. Here's hoping for another threat to the universe! (Fantasy. 10-14)
