Publisher's Summary:
You're only a hero until your next battle. Legion General Bill Booly knows that peace is just a pause between wars. He's just crushed one uprising, and now a new rebellion is already brewing on a remote world light years away - spawning a web of terrorism that is close enough to catch the vulnerable Confederacy in its grasp.
Critic Reviews:
"Dietz has created an intricate tapestry of local and star-faring culture with topnotch action sequences." (Publishers Weekly)
"Dietz bases this yarn on certain events of the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, especially the siege at Peking, and those familiar with the siege will have additional fun figuring out which of the novel's aliens corresponds to which of the various allies at the real-world siege. Others will simply enjoy the book as exciting military sf fare from a reliable vendor." (Booklist)
Members Reviews:
5-star enjoyment in space opera pulp-fiction.
Dietz has become my go-to pulp-fiction, space opera choice. The unread volume of his works will last me some years. I've followed his 'Legion of the Damned' mega story and don't really know what installment this one is but it must be #4 or #5. I do know that on completion of this installment, I started the next one the same day.
Dietz uses linear time quite cleverly to bring continuity between installments. This installment has a curious and savage familiarity. Dietz offers the insight at the end. The story line is influenced by the Boxer Rebellion of the 1900's albeit it in a galaxy far, far away and with alien races and factions rather than the Boxers, the Dowager Empress and foreign diplomats.
Dietz does a superlative job in this book's fluid narrative through topics of interesting minutia to war college level strategy and tactics. This is the best installment so far.
Umm, they are all the same
Umm, they are all the same storylines and the same themes. The main characters seem stale and the same. No major character development. The first in the series was very readable but the rest are just more of the same thing, over and over again.
Missed this when it was published and glad I finally discovered it.
I am not sure just how I missed this book when it was first published - but I did. It is Dietz at his best with the humor, character development, etc. that we have come to expect from him. If you are a military Sci Fi fan in general or a Dietz fan in particular (and missed this book earlier like I did) then reading this is worth your time to read and enjoy.
Absolutely love the entire series.
Pretty much the best military science fiction series I've ever read. Very well written, well researched and thoroughly enjoyable. Incredibly hard to put down.
