Meet Phluttr - a diabolically addictive new social network and a villainess, heroine, enemy, and/or bestie to millions. Phluttr has ingested every fact and message ever sent to, from, and about her innumerable users. Her capabilities astound her makers - and they don't even know the tenth of it. But what's the purpose of this stunning creation? Is it a front for something even darker and more powerful than the NSA?

Humanity welcomed the Olyix and their utopian technology. But mankind was tricked. Now these visitors are extracting a terrible price. For two years, the Olyix have laid siege to Earth, harvesting its people for their god. One by one, cities are falling to their devastating weaponry. And while millions have fled to seek refuge in space, others continue to fight an apparently unwinnable war.

I counted the days to the release of this concluding book, and it has turned out to be everything I'd hoped and so much more. Thank you Peter! I implore you to continue with this rich and amazing universe :)

Starts well in story form but soon descends into a painfull barrage of 1980s text book like random numbers, dates, names and factoids each starting with 'Did you know?!'.... well no actually, that's why I'm listening.
The story part doesn't even make it as far as the English invasion.
