For much of the book, I would have been tempted to conclude that R. Kyle Hannah’s The Jake Cutter Conspiracy<\/a><\/em> (Part One of the Tri-System Authority), was an enjoyable ride with an outcome I could have predicted, indeed one that I hoped for. The story zips along at a nice pace, takes us to a variety of exotic alien worlds with unique alien species, and then then delivers a showdown against the bad guys that… acts as a gigantic gut punch. That’s the only way I can describe the feeling it left me with. In fact, I was so stunned that I reread the last few pages, in case I’d missed something.
