It mirrors the colonisation of Earth where we saw the murder and erasure of aboriginal peoples like in America, Australia, and New Zealand. There are a lot of elements in this trilogy, and all of the themes mix and become an important distinction for our two protagonists in ‘ Monsters of Men.’ Political control through fear, murder, terrorism, genocide is at the forefront. ‘ Monsters of Men’ brings the trilogy to an epic conclusion. It makes it hard to organise the population when all the men’s thoughts are laid bare in the Noise, even if some of the men have mastered how to hide their Noise. Told in alternating perspectives between the love-stuck teens (and that of one of the Spackle) as they try to influence opposing factions to a peaceful resolution as a colony ship comes close to land… but land to what? A controlling faction ruling with fear and lies, or the utopia humanity has always dreamed of? But how can any of that be achieved when the settlers have enslaved the native alien species and committed genocide against the race and other human settlements. ‘ Monsters of Men’ sees the stakes for both Todd and Viola raise to a global scale.
