So this is the "conclusion" of the Jak Jinnaka series. It really feels like Barnes originally intended for there to be more of these, though each book is pretty self contained, we never really see exactly why Jak is regarded the way the prologues seem to imply he is. This isn't a bad stopping point though, there are some definite revelations about the nature of the Wager and how it came to dominate human society. I'll just say it explains a lot more about why Barnes never went into any detail about the Wager in the first two books.
Anyhow, this is pretty standard Jinnaka shenanigans, he needs to steal a priceless artifact for Hive Intelligence, ensure the credit goes to the most feckless noble in the entire system, avoid being tangled in the coils of his treacherous ex Princess Shyf and do it all without blowing his cover. Easy, right?
