Synopsis

When the Rho Project’s lead scientist, Dr. Donald Stephenson, is imprisoned for his crimes against humanity, the world dares to hope the threat posed by the Rho Project’s alien technologies is finally over.The world is wrong.In Switzerland, scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider have discovered a new threat, a scientific anomaly capable of destroying the earth—and only Rho Project technology can stop it. In exchange for a full pardon, Dr. Stephenson agrees to create a wormhole that will send the anomaly into deep space. But his promise masks the alien agenda that brought the Rho Ship to earth.Now a trio of altered humans, Heather McFarland and Mark and Jennifer Smythe, must infiltrate Stephenson’s wormhole project and stop it, no matter the cost. The ultimate battle has begun and, this time, mankind cannot afford to lose. The final installment to Richard Phillips’s Rho Agenda trilogy brings the epic tale to an explosive conclusion that will echo long past the final page.

Goodreads review by Banner on February 14, 2013

This is the last book in the Rho Agenda trilogy. This series was one of the nicest surprises I've had in awhile. The whole idea of as secret space ship in New Mexico seemed so like a stereotype from 50's science fiction. While the initial premise maybe a little dated; the implementation was totally f......more

Wow. This was book 3 of the series and I devoured all three. It's tough to find good Science Fiction and this author delivers.

Goodreads review by Joe on February 27, 2013

This book was the payoff and made the series worthwhile. It's in this volume that you truly find out what has been going on the whole time and the entire story (and various components of it) all come together in an interesting and exciting way. A very good series and well worth the time invested!......more


Quotes

“Richard Phillips has led such a life that he absolutely nails the science aspect of this new sci-fi classic and yet also gets the action and the political aspects exactly right as well. Speaking as an old sci-fi writer myself, I know how hard it is to do what Phillips has done…I’ve read Immune to its brilliant and completely satisfying end—but only because this new writer is so skillful and this storyline is so inventive and moving that I don’t want to miss a chapter of it…As good as any science fiction being written today.” Orson Scott Card“The three books of the Rho Agenda trilogy (The Second Ship, Immune, and Wormhole) are a story that links a considerable amount of science with a thrilling storyline...I highly recommend readers pack their imagination and go for a ride with The Rho Agenda.” NY Times best-selling Author Bob Mayer
