Countermeasures: Forbidden Borders #3
Author: W. Michael Gear
Year: 1993
Abstract:
The great war between the remaining human governments within the Forbidden Borders has been fought. Staffa kar Therma is now
being persued by the Mag Comm. An alien computer so powerful that it can predict with accuracy where events will happen and
when, and even influence individuals to do its bidding. Staffa's son, Sinklar, still hasn't decided whether to accept Staffa
as his father, or kill him. The clone of Staffa's first love, Chrysla, is still hunting him and his family. Can Staffa
survive long enough to break free of the Forbidden Borders, and provide humanity a hope for survival?

Spectre's Review
It all comes together in this one. The ending has a pretty cool surprise, and still leaves a bit open perhaps for a future
series. Chrysla's clone is pretty scary. The technology discussed is quite interesting, but I don't want to go into too
much detail and ruin it for you. I loved it, and it sure is a fun ride. This whole series was very well put together.
Spectre's Rating
An excellent close to a good trilogy.
