Harbinger Vol. 6: Omegas (Harbinger: Omegas by Joshua DysartMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This volume caps off the Harbinger series. It directly follows up on the previous volume by showing what is going on with Harada and the Renegades. It also serves as a bridge between the Harbinger series and Dysart's Imperium series. So, we see more fallout for the characters and elements that set the stage for things to come. On its own it doesn't mean much, but knowing what came before and some of what is coming afterward improves the experience.
A few things really stood out to me in this volume. First, Toyo Harada. I like that he takes the opportunity to step out from behind his previous organizations to do what he really wants. He is a lot less diplomatic here and it works well for the character. Second, the dichotomy between Pete and Toyo. These characters have been at odds since the beginning. It is neat to see how their reactions to the events of the last book are similar and how they differ. It also serves as a reminder that Pete is really just a kid who is out of his depth. Last, the Renegades. They are all struggling with the death of a friend. I like that this book shows that, and how their lives are impacted overall by recent events.
