Hometaker (A Sci-Fi Dystopian Adventure) (The Great Iron War Book 6) Kindle Edition

The Resistance races against time to complete the missile-launcher known as the Hometaker, capable of opening a gateway to the land the Regime came from, and exposing the Iron Emperor for all the evils he's done.

Everything rests on the secrecy of the mission, but from day one tongues are wagging. The atmosphere is like dynamite. An overheard word could light the fuse.

With no time left on the clock, General Rommond is forced to make an audacious plan: finish the construction of the Hometaker on the move, driving straight towards the enemy, who've assembled in unimaginable force. The Great Iron War is coming to an end. It's all or nothing—their world or ours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely five star worthy!
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2018

A splendid, twisty ride, but, sadly, over. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series! "Hometaker" is a wonderful, thrilling conclusion, with unspoken promises for yet more action packed adventures to come. I guess that's where the "Coilhunter" series fits in, a tasty treat in itself. I hope there will be much more to come, because the characters of GIW are so hard to let go of! They have a way of insinuating into my heart such that I just want to keep finding out how they are doing, they are so complete a character, so alive. Thank you, Dean F. Wilson, for a glorious 'vacation'!

4.0 out of 5 stars What I loved about this story

What I loved about this story: The circle is closed!
After years of reading these great books, I was happy to finally reach the end and receive that satisfying conclusion to the story. It did the rest of the series justice and closed the story in a way that I felt good about. Not necessarily a "happy ending", but the fitting ending the series deserved.
I LOVED the various plot twists and turns in this book. I'm not going to spoil anything, but I'd have to say "I didn't see that coming!" They totally caught me by surprise, and I found they made for a much more realistic plot.
What I didn't love: I felt the book was a bit more "rushed" than the previous ones. There were parts that felt downright choppy and "first draft" than Dean's usual writing style.
But all in all, it was a satisfying ending to a book series I've enjoyed from the very beginning. Can't wait to see what comes next!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Iron War has come to a conclusion
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017
I actually can’t quite believe this series, The Great Iron War has come to a conclusion. I have been following this series from the very first day, and I must say- I am a very satisfied reader indeed. The 6 books in The Great Iron War series have been a hell of a journey full of battles, small and big victories, a huge cast of different characters and many heartstopping moments.

Hometaker is a very strong finale! As there is no rest for the wicked, so there is no rest for the reader throughout the length of this book. I started reading this thinking there will be some kind of an epic battle towards the end of the book, that there will still be some kind of build-up before the characters I have learned to know over the past couple of years will face the Iron Emperor. How wrong was I! While the Emperor does make his appearance towards the end, the whole book is a battle… an epic read of war strategies, broken loyalties and fresh surprises.

Throughout the series Wilson has managed to keep me engaged with his execution- the environment, the machinery, the tactics and the characters are all solid. While I can be quite picky with action scenes in any book (because let’s face it, sometimes the action scenes are just a mess and a muddle), Wilson does not rush through a scene. He spoonfeeds the tension and ever single time delivers a new revelation to the best effect! While the series does focus a lot on character development, Hometaker is very much a testosterone filled book and I freaking enjoyed it one page at a time!

I am purposefully holding back on re-telling the book… I can’t tell anything of the plot because this is a review for the 6th in the series. If you haven’t read the first 5 books, I will not be held responsible for spoilers 🙂 Just know this… if you decide to take a chance on this steampunk dystopian action adventure series, then buckle up, it will be a tension filled journey with a most satisfying (well done) ending!

I may be biased when rating Hometaker 5 stars… but I don’t care because the whole series has been solid for me and I feel every book in the series delivered. Often with a series one may find themselves wishing they quit while they were still feeling good about the whole story. Sometimes one may think- ‘Yeah, it’s gone 1 or 2 or 3 books too far’.. but The Great Iron War has been an great experience for me. If you love war books and steampunk and dystopian settings- do not hesitate to give this series a go!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dramatic Ending to the Great Iron War series
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016
I guess you could say that Dean Wilson saved the best for last. This book ties in all the loose ties from previous books. Perhaps it's just me, but I hate to see a story lose any characters, good oer bad. But it's almost like Game of Thrones - someone has to die but you don't know who it is right up until the moment it happens. I found it to be indicative of excellent creative talent to end so many of the chapters with a cliff hanger. It made it hard to put the book down at any given time. It makes you want to NEVER put the book down until the story has been told in its entirety. There were no dull moments in this book, no lull in the activity, no lack of drama at any given time. As usual, the details are very specific and makes it very easy to paint a mental picture of the story in your mind. The Iron Emperor makes a very long-awaited appearance and plays a very active role in the story. I was totally unprepared for how that whole scenario played out. There were elements of treason that were totally out of the blue. You never knew right up until it happens who was going to turn on another character. It breathed a life into the story (as a whole) that surpasses all the other five novels in the Great Iron War series. As was the case in the other five novels, Dean makes it so easy to become emotionally attached to some of the characters. Most of them actually, because there always has to be a bad guy - or in this case, bad guys, plural. You will never see the ending coming. You won't be able to figure it out. It's a pleasant surprise that can only be discovered by reading this fabulous book yourself. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fitting finale
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2018

And so the final instalment is ended. After being with the characters over the course of 6 books, it's almost with a sense of loss to bring things to a close. Although the last book, this still went out in style.

Tensions rise and reach breaking point when Rommond and Co head off to fight the Iron Emperor. This final chapter has lots of backstabbing, secret rendezvous and broken allegiances which will have you second guessing who is on who's side. Add to this some laugh out loud antics from Porridge - The series most colourful character, and the 'Dirty Harry' of the Iron Wars - Nox the Coilhunter, and you have a fantastically entertaining conclusion.

This entire set of books is a must read for fans of Military Sci-Fi, Steampunk or Dystopian style fiction - I cannot praise it enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitiv ein würdiges Finale!
Reviewed in Germany on January 18, 2017

Nachdem mir der letzte Band der Reihe weit weniger gefallen hat als die vorherigen Bände, ging ich an das Finale mit gemischten Gefühlen heran. Tatsächlich brauchte ich mir aber gar keine Sorgen machen, denn Hometaker ist das meiner Meinung nach beste Buch der Reihe und schafft einen würdigen Abschluss.

Die Geschichte fängt dort an, wo die letzte aufgehört hat. Emotionen sprühen und alle Figuren ziehen Bilanz und stellen sich ihrer letzten Entscheidung. Erneut steht eine militärische Mission im Vordergrund der Handlung, doch diesmal gelingt es dem Autor wie in den Anfängen der Reihe mehr emotionale Nähe zu den Handelnden aufzubauen. Dadurch erhalten die Charaktere mehr Farbe. Auch der Plot strotzt vor Energie und eine Wendung jagt die nächste. Definitiv ein würdiges Finale!

A great ending to one heck of a series! Lots of twists, turns, and page-turning moments that keep you enticed until the very end. The Iron Emperor's big moment and the shocking moments afterwards were certainly one of the most memorable moments in the series for me. All in all, a great series for fans of Steampunk and Fantasy alike!

A fast paced storyline packed with memorable characters. The action scenes and battles especially rocked. There were some very satisfactory twists I didn’t see coming. I liked that the good guys weren’t infallible and loved how Jacob, the mercenary with a heart of gilt, almost against his better judgement acts as a mentor for Whistler.
