Arkship Prophecy (The Arkship Saga Book 5) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 34 ratings

As the Church of the Infinite forces its doctrine on the survivors of humanity, the battle-weary Prince Halstead finds himself torn between his desire for peace and the growing tide of resistance, led by his estranged wife Bara. As the survival of humanity hangs in the balance, Halstead must finally decide what the Infinite Gods want him to do, a decision that could change the balance of power across the Cluster forever.

Meanwhile, the followers of the prophet Gofal, in hiding from the brutal forces of the Church’s Inquisitors, work towards a better future, one that may demand the ultimate sacrifice of their outlawed cult.

Past and future collide in this fifth volume of the explosive Arkship Saga from award-winning author Niel Bushnell. If you liked Battlestar Galactica, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series or The Expanse then you’ll love this page-turning series.

    The Kenric-Draig Alliance had been around for a while, not because they liked each other, but because Prince Halstead cared for his people. But things are changing and not for the better.

    Read and enjoy.

    The saga continues with the solar system in total chaos. The Prince is still having issues with everyone and the Church is trying to crush anyone not aligned with them.
    I hope the final book, Omega, provides a lot more drama and action than Prophesy did.

    This book carries the story of Halstead and his people along nicely. There is a point where compromise for peace becomes untenable and Halstead may have reached his break. Bushnell has painted his characters with depth and passion using human failings and consequences realistically. I look forward to the next book. I received this book for free and wished to leave a review.

    Book Five is better than I expected. I hope Neil Bushnell keeps finding more avenues to advance the storyline.
    I'm glad to see Gofal is back with Wynn and Bara.

    Arkship Prophecy is a much more philosophical novel compared to the first 4 books in the saga and I missed more of the exciting action. However, it had a great twist at the end and many lingering questions were beginning to be answered.

    I have enjoyed this series very much and look forward to the next action packed adventure. No spoilers but you are going to love it when someone gets their comeuppance.

    Well written. Exciting enough to hold my attention. Can they fix the fracture?

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Church of the Infinite is on the rise!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The release of a new book in the Arkship saga is always a preorder and then a welcome read. Book 5 begins with a tragic start as a much loved character is unexpectedly killed early doors, before jumping 5 years for the rest of the story. The main characters separate for much of the book; An older Prince Halstead has to juggle closer links to the Church despite a terrorist bombing from one of his own. Scribe Mori is using his Church to pressure the alliance to accept their doctrines and take The Devotion. Gorfal the sentient bot who has seen the future, has his own following and embarks on his own quest; Bara, Halstead’s ex-wife also is also keen to avoid the rising church and runs into the the mysterious Merred family. In particular, the secretive Merreds are great new characters and look forward to seeing more of them. More Arkships, more locations, more characters and more twists leading up to the next (possibly last?) book.

    This was a great book as were all the previous ones. What is disappointing me now is "where is book 6 - Arkship: Omega" - it was available for pre-order and disappeared and there has been no sign of it since. I check constantly.
    Please Mr. Bushnell where is the next book....

    As with all the previous books, Arkship Prophesy completely absorbed me on all levels...the characters, action and narrative all embodied in Niel's fascinating and distinct universe. It left me eagerly awaiting the next installment.
