Publisher's Summary:
Xenophon and his comrades have proven their worth, and now the combined fleets of the Black Legion and their allies are poised to end the conflict. Both sides have mobilized every warrior and ship they can, for what will be a final apocalyptical battle between the Terrans and the Emperor himself.
The titanic forces of both sides meet at the critical world of Cunaxa Secundus, just a few worlds away from the Imperial capital of Babylon Prime. The most powerful warlords of 100 worlds assemble for war with legions of soldiers, war machines, and creatures from every corner of the Empire to defend their God King. Against them stand the Laconian general, Clearchus and his paymaster Lord Cyrus, the usurper who seeks to free the Empire from his brother's reign. Their combined forces includes hundreds of warships, and of course, the Black Legion, a horde of unbeatable Terran mercenaries. The battle of Cunaxa will determine not just the future of Xenophon and his friends, but also set the course of history for the next 1,000 years.
Warlords of Cunaxa is the third book in the Star Legions series from Michael G. Thomas, the best-selling author of the Star Crusades series. Previously published as the Black Legion series.

Black Legion Keeps Getting Better!
If you've read this series earlier books and enjoyed them, then this is a must-read. One of the things I enjoy about the author's books is how invested you become in the characters. Xenophon's evolution is more profound in this edition and Michael G. Thomas is one of the very best at writing combat and action sequences in such a way that you can "see them clearly in your mind". The story is rich in action, space battles, personal tales and you will be rooting for whoever your favorites are along the way. There is a blockbuster ending to this book that will make your wonder where the author will take the next book in this series. The editing is improving as well... Honestly, the best book in the series.
A strange start
The first 2 books read well with few mistakes. This one lacked adult supervision and catered more to middle school aged students regarding fights to no other purpose than to verify one character doesn't like the other, and ended with a very unsound strategy. I know the conclusion had to happen to reach this aspect of the series, but the way it came about makes anyone with a smidgen of military understanding cringe.
I look foreword to reading what will require a minimum of 2 more books to finalize the endgame and just hope the author spends a little less time repeating phrases and tactics, and more towards developing the characters and strategies.
Slow on the uptake on this one.
I just noticed that I had not given a review on this book. Although I had just read it for the third time. MGT MGT MGT What do I got ta do son. This can not be the final book of this series can it?? I do so hope not. I do realize that sometimes books wind up stopping not where you wish but just where they stop. I really do hope that xenon does not stop at this point. I did think that the addition of A added to the whole story line so much and I was hoping that just maybe thin from A to X might start working out but then who knows. I have not started to read the larger story from hence this book is paraphrased. I am waiting with baited breath for some indication of a following set of books to go with this small Series of books.
