Publisher Description
Vaults of Terra Book 3
Separated from Inquisitor Cowl, Interrogator Spinoza hoists her crozius and sets to protecting what’s left of their organisation while continuing her quest for truth. But can she survive the dire straights she finds herself in, as she guards humanity from enemies within and without?
READ IT BECAUSE
Luce Spinoza comes into her own, with the weight of her lord’s fate sitting heavy on her shoulders, while pushing forward with their mission. With enemies closing in on all sides, she must choose a path for herself.
THE STORY
The Throneworld is in turmoil, wracked by the opening of the Great Rift and the failure of the Astronomican. Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl, his mind and body ravaged by what he has seen in the Hollow Mountain, is missing, taking with him the clues to the conspiracy that has come to obsess him. Luce Spinoza, his interrogator, must choose whether to seek him out or defend her diminished realm from the many forces that still seek to destroy it. As enemies circle, Interrogator Spinoza enters a race against time to find the evidence she needs. But with the fate of humanity itself hanging in the balance, she must decide what lengths she is willing to go to in order to uncover the truth.

If You’re Going Out, Take Them With You
I enjoyed my time with the Vaults of Terra series very much and am sad that this seems to be the end of the road for it. Interrogator Luce Spinoza steps into the shoes of her master in an attempt to find him and uncover the ultimate truth of a plot that threatens to fundamentally alter the entire 40K setting.
If you’ve read the previous books, these are the same characters you’ve come to know and love facing more desperate odds than ever before. It offers a thrilling, fast-paced narrative that doesn’t pull its punches while leaving just enough ambiguity to the ending to leave a glimmer of hope for more to come.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid it’s likely the end of the road for the series which is a shame, particularly for Spinoza who really is *very* good (Crowl was correct) and deserves another outing.
For LGBT readers: the tension between Spinoza and Khazad continues (really, these two should work out their issues in bed already after three books), but is left to die on the vine. Unfortunate, but I’ll be doodling some fan art of these two for a long time to come.
