He carries the mystical Key of Ahknaton upon his person. The Metaframe waits to be used, its reality shifting powers both feared and desired by all who know of it. The Key can open any door and give birth to any reality. Whoever uses it first could win or lose everything - only one thing is certain.

A must-read for the reveals, justice meted out in large doses, and action-packed battle sequences. A fitting penultimate lead-up to the upcoming finalé [b:The Metaframe Adept|58920556|The Metaframe Adept (The Metaframe War, #7)|Graeme Rodaughan|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|92842714].

Wow! The sixth book in the Metaframe War has arrived!



A small backstory:

All the factions are converging toward one ultimate goal which is to keep Cornelius Crane, the leader of the Vampire Dominon from accessing the Metaframe.

All the pawns are moving into position which includes:

The Mirovar Force Team are gearing up to take on all the vampires as now they have more to face than ever before and hoping they can keep their casualties to a minimum since they are still reeling from heavy losses they took in the last book, The Crane War.

Louise Wesson (Shadowstone) is also on the move toward causing a ruckus against Crane unbeknownst to him; General Chloe Armitage still has her own agenda to be free from Crane and with her trusty sidekick James along for the ride to help her, Chloe could just have an advantage toward achieving that goal; a new threat arrives with the vampire Mekra as she causes a disruption which turns things topsy-turvy for not only Crane, but everyone that is in this war!

Who will win this war? Who will be left standing? Who will fall? Does Crane access the Metaframe? Does Chloe finally free herself from Crane? What is Mekra's role within this war? No spoilers here as you will just need to read the book!

There is tons of action like there has been in the previous books but there just seemed to be way more within this book as swords are unsheathed and ready for action;



along with the firepower of guns lighting up the pages of this book;



Thoughts:

The war has literally "ramped" up into high gear and the story goes into full throttle at a high rate of speed almost like you are on a vampire bullet train!

There is tons of action packed within this book and the author, [a:Graeme Rodaughan|15295296|Graeme Rodaughan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1464911367p2/15295296.jpg] goes into extensive detail with everything that happens within the story.

The action is pristine as always which like all the other books in this series you feel that you are surrounded by panoramic movie screens as you feel the explosions and gunfire erupt around you!

Settle down in your cozy chair with munchies and soda; dim the lights and step into this action packed book! Giving this book five "Raging Ramp" stars!

Highly recommend!

Man, this installment of the Metaframe War damn near broke me. In the midst of intense battle scenes there would be these instances of raw emotion that were absolutely killer. So well done. This book really makes you wrap your head around the concept of an honorable death. And it totally sets the stage for an insane finale to this war. So many players, so many unknowns. I am ready!! ( )

Chloe fans, this book is for you.

Before getting started with The Key of Ahknaton, the book opens with a short story out of Chloe's past titled The Enforcer. Set at the end of WWII, the story features Crane sending Chloe on a mission to obtain a very special child. All is definitely not what it seems. In typical Rodaughan fashion, there is plenty of Ramp master, Vampire and Red Empire action to go around and for the first time we see the true potential of the Metaframe in action, with a side of cosmic horror for good measure. While technically you could skip over this and start book five immediately, you'll be missing out on one heck of an action filled short story and some additional insight into Chloe's hatred of Crane.

After that side trip into Chloe's past, The Key of Ahknaton picks up immediately where The Crane War left off. I thought that book 5 blew me away. Book 6, this one, was just as engaging. There are so many twists and turns it's hard to review this book without spoilers so I'm going to be a bit vague. The world building and character arcs continue, some in surprising directions, giving a lot of new information to process. The big convergence at the end has taken this story in an unexpected direction that in hindsight I can now see was hinted at as a possibility all along.

I can't believe there is only one book to go. I'm excited to see how what remains of the Order of Thoth saves the day. Things aren't looking very good for humanity at the moment.

A big thank you to the author, Graeme Rodaughan, for inviting me into the Beta read with the fine folks in the GR's group Castle Dracula. ( )
