Strong Finality

Mars exploration continues for grief stricken John Wells, but nothing could prepare him for what he discovers on this mission. Meanwhile, the CIA, FBI and other government agencies begin to fit the final 3/21 puzzle pieces together. The elaborate plot they uncover reaches beyond anything they could have ever imagined. The final book in the Mars Hill Classified trilogy is definitely a page turner. It grabs the reader from the opening chapter and keeps them reading to the end. Boyd definitely demonstrates his writing talent and keeps a rather elaborate plot together and complete to the end. With the amount of information, story lines, and characters involved in this trilogy, combined with the long period of time these books cover, keeping this story moving and together was certainly a writing feat. In The Return the characters are really allowed to develop and start showing their actions and emotions. An element I felt was missing in the early part of the series. In the end, all is revealed and we're rewarded with an ending that appropriately fits this series. God is always in control--nothing is outside of His plan.

Unique and Interesting

This book was very unique and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Do not worry about it being the third in a series the author does a good job of laying things out. I am sure for those that have read books one and two that book three probably had them squealing at various points. I know I did once things starting coming together. It read smooth and drew you in and did not let you go until the end. I love the ending. I highly recommend this book esp. if you are looking for something a little different in a good way. P.S. I had the song Rocket Man by Elton John running through my head. Visit me at http://www.abookloverforever.blogspot.com

The

Boyd concludes his three book series in a spectacular way. His imagination mixes technical authenticity with science fiction in a way that made me as a "rocket scientist" wanting to believe it the whole way through. His conclusion kept me on the edge of my reading chair. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Boyd and he is an impressive man with great moral values to go along with his writing talent. I look forward to his future works.

Interested reader

this book was very good. It was a great finish to the triligy. It was actually the best book of all three. I enjoyed it.

Great read!

I haven't read the first few books so I didn't really know what to expect when reading this one. I loved how interesting all the parts of the people were. It made me want to keep reading knowing how each person's story would turn out, if they would make it home, if they would be found. I loved how Austin manages to incorporate God into his book without it being shoved into your face. He makes you really think about the impact that God has on your life and how he really can help you to overcome anything. If only we all had the attitudes that the good people in the book portrayed. Now I definetly want to read the rest of his books!!!!
