Description

Takeover—One Last Chance for Humanity

Since the announcement of Unbounded existence, the mortal world has quickly polarized. One faction wants all Unbounded—Renegade and Emporium—dead. Others worship them as gods who have come to save the world and bring it immortality. The tension between these groups is ready to explode. 

Meanwhile, the Emporium has a new player, one who has upped the stakes in the battle for humanity. Many innocent mortals are sacrificed as the Emporium Triad grabs for control. 

As Erin Radkey, Ritter Langton, and their Renegade allies struggle to stay one step ahead of the enemy, their increasing abilities are tested to the limit—as is their trust in each other. They have only one chance to change the game, to save humanity. A desperate plan that requires an ultimate price no one can bear to pay. 

But everything is not always what it seems, especially in the world of the Unbounded. 

The Takeover amazingly pulls in threads from all the previous novels for a richly satisfying series conclusion. From Jace’s parentage and Stella’s baby, to Keene’s ability and Cort’s past, it all comes together. The Unbounded series is one that will always stand out in my mind.” Jody Babcock 

Praise for the UNBOUNDED series:

"Enough paranoid twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages . . . the author has clearly thought through the nuances of the story's theme and engineered a few surprising plot twists that elevate it . . . above the level of the average thriller." -Publishers Weekly

“Excellent and well written!”

“I recommend reading the entire series”

“Thoroughly enjoyable”

“High action and adventure”

“Teyla Branton belongs right alongside Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison, Jennifer Estep, and Kelly Armstrong.”

    I am so sad this story had to come to an end, but I am so glad Teyla Branton crafted the Unbounded series and put an amazing amount of creativity and thought into her story. The story line was so captivating I could not think of anything except reading. And I was so impressed with the length of each book. I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her work!
  • disappointing and ‘rushed'

    This appears to be the last in a truly awesome series about the ‘unbounded’. I have been eagerly awaiting the next in series not realizing it would be the last of the story line. I’m sorry to say, as I love all the other books in this series, with the characters and storyline etc., that this one felt rushed and well, like a cop-out finish. So, I’m left really disappointed at how it ended as well as bummed it is over. So I didn’t give it a 5 star but a 4 and I only downgraded 1 star based on the strength of the rest of the series. It is worth reading, it is worth buying, it just doesn’t leave you feeling happy/satisfied with where the story ended up, more like deflated. I do hope she does another sci fi/fantasy series like this ( not typical vamp/were/demons/angels/witches etc), something unique and original, as she did here. This series captured my imagination and ran away with it on a great adventure, really hard to do now adays with all that is out there.
