Product Description
BOOK THREE OF THE A-MEN TRILOGY The A-Men trilogy breaks new ground in mixing noir-style sci-fi with mythic fantasy elements, with five first-person viewpoints on the action. Forever A-Men is the trilogy's concluding book and a science fiction tour de force. Switching Dead City for the crystal arks of the thirteen corporate colonies, Jack comes face to face with the full extremity of D'Alessandro's master plan. Awakening as godking in the fantasy realms of Forevermore, effectively trapped within the pages of his own faerie tale book, he realises his only chance at redemption is to reform the A-Men for one last amazing adventure. With the help of Pure, Dingo the Wonder Dog and the blind, psychic detective Arken Ellis Winterman, Jack finds his path leads inextricably back to D'Arkadia, his family's deserted starstation, for a final confrontation with the terrible past he has tried so desperately to escape. An astonishing final chapter to the A-Men trilogy, this is a story of the realisation that nothing is forever, and of identifying what is important before it is far, far too late.

When I began reading The A-Men trilogy, I really couldn't have predicted that what started as a pretty standard world-on-the-brink, man-without-a-memory sci fi tale would end up with a cracking full-on explosion of an ending. Without spoiling the surprise, the cliffhanger at the end of The A-Men Return is played out in full as we get to savour the madness and magic of being in the hands of a writer who knows (a) how to twist a story and (b) just how to write great endings!
Forever A-Men delivers on the slow build and promise of this dystopian trilogy, with some outstanding action and a plot that zips along in true page-turning fashion.
Every book gets a new character: and this time it's a blind psychic detective who really adds to the crazy cast and provides a depth to the plot that shows just how far the A-Men rabbit hole goes.
Do yourself a favour and get lost in this little gem of a trilogy. You won't read anything quite like it for some time!

Forget The Hunger Games!
4 April 2012
Format:Hardcover
I don;t leave many reviews, but having finished the third in the A-Men books by John Trevillian, I have to add one more as I feel this author needs some well-deserved praise for making one scifi reader very happy. Having been disappointed by the
The A-Men introduced us to Jack and the rest of the broken people in the trilogy, and ended with a city going down in flames (and the character's dreams).
The A-Men Return showed us a true post-apolocalyptic setting (and nothing like the P-A gloss of stuff like The Hunger Games) and a story of loss and betrayal.
Forever A-Men is the time where Jack can make good on his dreams and promises --- and you won't believe how this happens. On reading the opening chapters, I was like 'Whoa! what is happening?' but once you get to grips with the unique setting of the third book (including more about the near-space starstations that have only been mentioned so far) we have a stage for some incredible action sequences and a war that makes The Lord of the Rings' Helm's Deep look like a bar room brawl!
Deep, satisfying and awesome! What more can we ask from a sci fi story?
Now I'm going back to the beginning and reading them back-to-back to fill in all the bits I missed the first time through!
Great stuff!
