The sci-fi series careens to a conclusion as JT comes to terms with the startling truth about his destiny on the Rings of Orbis.
Johnny Turnbull now knows that his sister, Ketheria, is the Scion — a long-awaited being who will bring understanding and healing to the universe. But what about him? As the Scion’s protector and guardian, JT is expected to start training to become a Space Jumper, a mercenary soldier who can jump through time and space. And he’s not happy about it, especially as he promised his girlfriend, Max, he would never take on that dangerous role, which could take him who-knows-how-far away. Can anything — or any one — guide Johnny to his true calling? And as new trouble brews on Orbis, will even Space Jumper skills be enough to help JT protect his sister and his friends?

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Science Fiction Series12 Nov 2011
By Michael Gallagher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book 4 conclusion to The Softwire series is an enjoyable science fiction read that is not only good for adults, but late elementary school to junior high kids will also enjoy - the author did change from Books 1-3 and added a few obscenities which were not in Books 1-3 which may concern some parents. It's unusual (at least for me) to find a book the whole family can enjoy without one set feeling as if it is too "dumbed down" for the younger set to understand and annoy the parents, nor too detailed or technical that the younger set will get frustrated.
Throughout the series, the author does a good job of quickly getting you into the story as well as lots of action that has you eagerly waiting to turn the page; there are a few strange sections of this one, and at times it seemed to drag just a little bit. As is typical with the series, however, your heart will race a little bit during some of the action scenes, and you get a feeling of actually being a part of the story vs. just someone reading a tale.
This was billed as the final of the Softwire series, but the author did leave it open with his conclusion for a sequel: here's hoping there is a sequel as I felt there were some major things that need closure. Overall, this was a good science fiction series.

4.0 out of 5 starsOrbis 4 is best yet23 Jan 2011
By jubilee - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This series was fun. The first 2 books are mainly a "set up" for Orbis 3-4. The real fun is in the twists and turns as the plot unfolds. What is the real reason for the trip to the Rings of Orbis in the first place? Did their parents know what their life was going to be like when they arrived? I wonder if there will be a book "beyond Orbis 4?"

It's other books before it was good but this turned out to be the black sheep of the series. There were to many questions unanswered and not a very good antagonist. There wasn't anything to hope for and at the end it was very cliche.
