Vengeance or death…

Erik Cain is the hero of the Marine Corps, a celebrated warrior who has led his grim veterans into every war the Alliance and mankind have faced. But now he has left the Corps, driven to near madness by an overwhelming need for vengeance. He has sworn to kill Gavin Stark, the madman responsible for his mentor’s death and, with a small band of dedicated followers, he is pursuing his prey across occupied space.

Meanwhile, on a dozen colony worlds, Marines land to face the occupying forces of Stark’s Shadow Legions. They are supported by the Janissaries, their longtime enemies, now turned allies, but they are exhausted and outnumbered, facing a vastly superior enemy entrenched and waiting for them. But they are veterans, Marines and Janissaries both, men and women who have battled the armies of the First Imperium and lived to tell the tale. They know what is at stake, and they are determined to prevail, even if none of them come back.

And on Earth, the economic collapse Stark engineered has shattered the Treaty of Paris and its century-long prohibition against terrestrial warfare. Millions are already dead as the war between the Superpowers spreads across the Earth, a growing conflagration that could end in apocalyptic nuclear, chemical, and biological exchanges between the powers.

Will mankind live under the iron boot of Gavin Stark and his clone descendants forever? Or will Erik Cain and the Marines defeat him once and for all?

The Fall is the epic conclusion (book nine) to Jay Allan’s bestselling Crimson Worlds series (over 800,000 sold).

About the Author

I currently live in New York City, and I've been reading science fiction and fantasy for just about as long as I've been reading. My tastes are fairly varied and eclectic, but I'd say favorites are military and dystopian science fiction and epic fantasy, usually a little bit gritty. I write a lot of science fiction with military themes, but also other SF and some fantasy as well. I like complex characters and lots of backstory and action. Honestly, I think world-building is the heart of science fiction and fantasy, and since that is what I've always been drawn to as a reader, that is what I write. I've been an investor and non-fiction writer for a long time, a fiction author more recently. When I'm not writing I enjoy traveling, running, hiking, reading. I love hearing from readers and always answer emails. I think you stop growing as a writer if you stop listening to readers. Among other things, I write the bestselling Crimson Worlds series.

This is a good story and a close to this series of Sci-Fi books!

January 13, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Gavin Stark's master plan to destroy most of mankind and become the emperor of those few humans that live on Earth and throughout the 1000 inhabited world is falling into place. Soon every item that he has set into motion will be complete. He only has two problems. The masterful Admiral Garret still controls a strong fleet of ships and General Darius Cain commands the Alliance Marine forces.

The hatred that Cain has for Stark is so overwhelming that he has only one goal. It is to kill Stark who is the single greatest murderer of mankind in its history......

I have read all of the books in this series and even a few other books written by Jay Allan. I have enjoyed them all. They are not perfect but they are full of military Sci-Fi action and I have come to care for the story line and the characters in the books. Some of the books were 4 stars in my opinion and some were close to 5 stars. I rated this closing story a 5 star ending as I enjoyed it.

I say closing story when I have already read that two spin off series of books are already planed to be released. If you like military Sci-Fi then you will like this series of stories. This is a good author.

‘Good’ Cain goes ‘Terminator’ on ‘Darth’ Stark … great fun …

December 23, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you’ve read the 8 previous installments, the end is not so much a surprise as it is over the top. For a story that devolves into MAD^3, the Crimson World’s are toasted as readers have suspicioned they would. No surprise here except for the scale. For the institutions and planets of Crimson World, it’s back to the beginning.

Among the major characters, the ‘good guys’ win, the forces of evil, not so much … and that’s no surprise after reading the 9 installments.

#9’s beginning introduces a Cain turned into an avenging angel of death. The main character has morphed rather more dramatically than I would have anticipated. The Cain from 1-8 emerges in #9 as wholly and completely unfamiliar, non-normative behaving basket case of vengeance. The great enemy, Stark and his imbecilic homies have gone bat rabid. It all gets resolved, and there’s not much left of everything else. Great stuff! … one can hardly overlook the inevitable return of Imperium.

I have really enjoyed all of the Jay Allan books

February 20, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have really enjoyed all of the Jay Allan books. This one is no different. A great read.

Sadly, this book appears to have been rushed to the finish line. Way too many spelling and grammar errors. Also, 3 times Jay transposed characters names...confusing, and breaks the focus on the storyline.

Still, I highly recommend this book, and look forward to reading more, because he can juggle an unbelievable number of topics, careers, and science better than any other writer of this genre that I have read, at least since "Lucifer's Hammer".

February 22, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Jay Allan delivers a high level of excitement through out this entire series. The characters may be somewhat exaggerated but I think each portrays the true heart of a soldier. Although they come from extreme & dire circumstances before being conscripted into the Corp, each comes to understand the ideal that binds them into the elite military brotherhood required for their survival and gives them their reason to fight & die.
The hero of the series is bigger than life accomplishing far more than any one man could. In a real war he would be an amalgam, many men doing what needed to be done. In seeing him as such and taking in the other characters, this series has caused me to reconsider what our military heroes must face in themselves - their desires & their fears - when they standup as our shield against those who would do us harm. Eventually all civilizations may fall but, as long as ordinary men & women are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, freedom will endure.
Of course this may not be what Jay intends at all but only my take on it. You'll need to read the series to find out what you take away.

Just completed this terrific series

January 26, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have enjoyed this book, with the previous 8 in the Crimson Worlds series. Jay Allan is a master story teller. And his knowledge of military tactics and war making is exceptional. Thankfully the stories are fictional so we can simply read and enjoy the story, and not get caught up in the terrors of war. His character development is without equal. I highly recommend Jay's books.

Enjoyed The Series - Looking Forward to Spinoffs

December 25, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I got hooked on the series and have stayed with it through all ten books. I like the plots, the characters and the action.

I enjoy Jay's storytelling style.

The descriptions of space warfare are not as detailed as another one of my favorite series, "The Lost Fleet", but I enjoy them both.

I appreciate the fact that I can enjoy good science fiction action without being annoyed by excessive vulgar language or lewd scenes. There are relationships between people, but the intimate details are left to our imagination, and the story loses nothing.

Thanks, Jay, for an enjoyable read!

When our world falls!

April 17, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Another excellent story full of action, death and the mourning of those lost. I thought the author was going to pull a fast one but he ended the story happily. The only problem I had was there was a lot of extraneous characters, that was not developed to my satisfaction. Otherwise, kudos to the author for a great saga.

Great Series!

February 25, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Jay Allan manages to not only create believable personalities that you actually care about, personalities you loathe and more importantly, personalities that teeter on the edge both. The dystopian story arch is rich with military future tech, for both Naval and Ground forces, and delves deep into potential political realities, riffe with corruption and pure greed. The interplay between characters is fun and engaging, battles unfold in detail. Great read, hard to put down. Looking forward to starting the successor series next.
