About this audiobook
Kosh did not feel courageous. Looking at the disko, it was all he could do not to collapse into a quaking, blubbering puddle of terror. He was half certain he was going to die. But the alternative-leaving Emma in the hands of Gheen without even trying to rescue her-was unthinkable. He would not want to live if he had to live with that.
"It's not courage," he said, "if you have no choice."
In present-day Hopewell, an adult Kosh Feye discovers a sweet and painful piece of his past when he's rescued by the Lamb Emma. In a far distant future, Tucker Feye and the inscrutable Lia find themselves atop a crumbling pyramid in an abandoned city. And on a train platform in 1997, a seventeen-year-old Kosh says good-bye as his brother, Adrian, leaves for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Before Adrian boards, he asks Kosh to take care of his fiancée-the most beautiful girl Kosh has ever seen.
The final book of Pete Hautman's highly praised Klaatu Diskos trilogy, The Klaatu Terminus weaves together these fragmented timestreams in a heart-stopping chase to the edge of time as Tucker, Lia, and Kosh must search for one another and finally puzzle out the secrets of the diskos. Who built them? Who is destroying them? And, most of all, where-and when-will it all end?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This volume gets out of the mental-illness and religion sideplots and gets into the question of what the world should be. Obvioulsy, not everyone's answer is the same, but there's value in just asking the question.
I'm pretty much begging Natasha daily to read this series.
Library copy - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5SPOILER: DO NOT READ IF YOU PLAN TO READ BEYOND BOOK 1I skipped book 2 because I got mid-way through the second book and realized that we were going to circle the same events over and over again. It was like he kept stirring the caldron and dumping in character after character. And known characters kept picking up new names and new identities and in the end - it was all one great big mess any way because there were clones and klaatu and former time stub folks that were trapped in the wrong time stream....Interesting story, but it went on too long and I just frankly didn't like the ending. It's as if he was as tired as everyone else and said - geeze. Time to stop. The characters were so tired of spinning through time that they were just relieved to be in place and not having to fight. But their lives were harder.
