Pacific Rim meets The Martian in the explosive follow-up to Sleeping Giants ("One of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory."-NPR) and Waking Gods ("Pure, unadulterated literary escapism."-Kirkus Reviews).
Brilliant scientist Rose Franklin has devoted her adult life to solving the mystery she accidentally stumbled upon as a child: a huge metal hand buried beneath the ground outside Deadwood, South Dakota. The discovery set in motion a cataclysmic chain of events with geopolitical ramifications. Rose and the Earth Defense Corps raced to master the enigmatic technology, as giant robots suddenly descended on Earth's most populous cities, killing one hundred million people in the process. Though Rose and her team were able to fend off the attack, their victory was short-lived. The mysterious invaders retreated, disappearing from the shattered planet . . . but they took the scientist and her crew with them.
Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find a devastating new war-this time between humans. America and Russia are locked in combat, fighting to fill the power vacuum left behind after the invasion. Families are torn apart, friends become bitter enemies, and countries collapse in the wake of the battling superpowers. It appears the aliens left behind their titanic death machines so humankind will obliterate itself. Rose is determined to find a solution, whatever it takes. But will she become a pawn in a doomsday game no one can win?
Praise for Only Human
"Packing a surprisingly powerful thematic punch, this novel is an addictive blend of science fiction, apocalyptic thriller, and chillingly timely cautionary tale. Two (giant, robotic) thumbs up!"-Kirkus Reviews
"Boasting a winning combination of briskly paced action and futuristic dystopia tempered by cautious optimism, Only Human brings a fitting, satisfying end to the Themis Files series."-RT Book Reviews
"This action-packed tale with apocalyptic stakes is a fitting finale to this wonderfully cinematic series."-Publishers Weekly
"Series fans will be eager for Neuvel's ever-so-satisfying conclusion to his rip-roaring science-fiction adventure tale."-Booklist

Where is my TV-Show?! I need it!

I am truly torn apart because of this book: On the one hand I am really happy to see that the story comes to a conclusion, on the other hand I could cry BECAUSE it comes to a conclusion. I just don’t want it to end. And there is still no TV-Show in sight (Netflix, HBO, Sci-Fi…someone!!!!! Series-Gold here, I tell you that).
I don’t want to tell you too much about the story, actually I won’t tell you anything. If you made it this far you already know what’s going on.
Important is: The book is as good as the last two and a must read for every sci-fi fan, or for anyone who just wants to read a good and interesting story.
I, personally, loved it.
Good End

Okay so first off, I did love this. I loved the beginning, I loved the last two and a half hours (I listened to the audiobook) and I really loved the end! Well, sort of.
It still has to be my least favorite part because after one or two hours in I was sort of.. bored. Not much was happening and it was a little slow, but when it all came together I was really impressed!
And it's not a perfect ending either but.. I find it acceptable and I was very sad when it was over.
All in all I really love this series!
