Last Descendants: An Assassin's Creed Novel Series Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Nothing in Owen's life has been right since his father died in prison, accused of a crime Owen is certain he didn't commit. Monroe, the IT guy at school, might finally bring Owen the means to clear his father's name by letting him use an Animus-a device that lets users explore genetic memories buried within their own DNA. During a simulation, Owen comes uncovers the existence of a powerful relic long considered a legend-the Trident of Eden. Now two secret organizations will stop at nothing to take possession of this artifact-the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. It becomes clear the only way to save himself is to find the Trident first. Under the guidance of Monroe, Owen and a group of other teenagers go into a memory they all share within their DNA: the 1863 Draft Riots in New York City. Owen and his companions will find themselves tested on the violent streets of New York, and their experiences in the past will have far-reaching consequences in the present.

My expectations for this this book won't the highest when I ordered this book but this book surpassed them all and proved me wrong. It isn't hard to get pulled into this story and the characters. Kirby did a great job introducing the Animus and how re-living the memories of your ancestors works. I been playing the games since the beginning and never was there a way to really describe how it felt to be in the Animus or when exiting. I found this interesting and showed that Kirby has a great attention to detail. The trip(s) into the Animus were fun to read. The Draft Riots were exciting to read and with the story shifting to one character every chapter you got to see the whole riot and not a section. The amount of detail that is in the book to describe the journey that the characters traveled up and down Manhattan was not missed. I wish there was a better map so I could better follow their runs.I enjoyed the characters and thought Kirby didn't over do the drama and fighting between them. While Owen could be said to be the main protagonist, the other 5 characters get equal time in the book.I'm giving it 5 star because it exceeding my expectations and felt it was a solid story but I would like something added in the future.-Longer story, maybe I read it fast but it felt short. I felt the ending could have been nicely expanded a bit.-Hard Cover editions with a map with the routes that the characters traveled and historical notes of people, places, and events. This is what Assassin's Creed has always done, even the comics have a back section so you can read more on the history. You can keep an edition $10 but I would pay for a hardcover edition with these additions.
Very imaginative and engaging! I have five grandchildren who are the right age to read M. Kirby's book and they are sooo excited. We have read all of the author's books and this one is a good example of his creativity. I think his new one, A Taste for Monsters was excellent. Icefall is the family favorite.
I need to know more. When is the next book coming out!!! That ending has me wanting more I need to know what happens in this story.
Loved the story, it was over way too quick. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend it.
Not much to say just a really good book. Great story, characters and action.
