Book Description
The revelations on Mars -- a half-million year-old legacy of the vanished star-traveling Builders -- have fed the flames of catastrophic war.A beleaguered United States and its Russian and Japanese allies struggle to hold their own against the indomitable forces of the enemy United Nations.The bloody conflict that has swept over the home planet now rages across the blackness of space -- with the U.S. Marine Corps in the vanguard, leading the charge as always.
But Mars is not the sole repository of alien wonders.The Earth's moon hides unsettling mysteries of its own-and dangerous secrets pointing toward an unstoppable threat advancing from somewhere beyond the solar system.And as scientists on both sides ract to utilize technology they have only barely begun to comprehend, the UN makes the opening move in a gambit that could end the hostilities quickly and decisively by bringing about the death of millions...without the aid of alien-inspired weaponry.
A bad situation worsens by the nanosecond.And that means it's time to call in the Marines -- to make a life or death stand on the gray shores of Luna.

Pardon my French,
By
This review is from: Luna Marine (Mass Market Paperback)
This second volume of the series is again a well written book that has everything a good science fiction novel, or a thriller, should have: fast action, a well knit plot and well constructed characters. Again, though, the national stereotypes are disturbing and the author's view of the world seems to be a little limited. The climax is the headline of chapter 14: Le Édifice de la Monde Uni, a hillbilly's version of French. No I know the true meaning of: Pardon my French!But the novel is a good read. Again, reader, go ahead and read

Luna Marine : Book Two of the Heritage Trilogy,
By Kris Jensen (Regina, SK Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luna Marine (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow! The first book had me hooked, not just because I love the idea of alien bases on Mars, but the pace of the book just kept me gripped. After reading book two, Ian Douglas moves the action from Mars to the Moon. The action is there. The alien mystery is there. The political intrigue of Earth is there. And then, to top it off, an asteroid collision! I couldn't put it down. Thanks for the fabulous ride Mr Douglas!

Great Military Sci-fi,
By SH in Tampa "SPH" (Tampa FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luna Marine (Mass Market Paperback)
Luna Marine is the second of three books in the Heritage Series, a well written trilogy that combines some excellent military fiction with an engrossing science fiction plot that borrows heavily from the speculative archeology in Graham Hancock's "Fingerprints of the Gods". The characters are interesting and multi dimension, the plot is imaginative and the dialog is gritty and realistic. Once you get started, these books are hard to put down.The second book takes place in 2042, two years after the astonishing discovering on Mars described in "Semper Mars". Conflict rages on Earth between the US and the United Nations. When additional alien remains are discovered on the Moon, including a possible super weapon, the US Marine Corp is called upon to seize the technology before it can be exploited by scientists from the other side.
