Product Description

Product Description

With the planet's fighting men and women deployed across the galaxy—battling in the noble cause of enslaved humanity—the insidious Xul have reached across space to devastate the unsuspecting Earth with asteroid fire. Without warning, a once majestic world is reduced to near-rubble—and the very future of humankind is in dire jeopardy.

Interplanetary leaders are on the brink of abandoning Earth and its colonies to an overwhelming enemy. But Brigadier General Garroway of the Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Unit is unwilling to concede defeat—not as long as there's a single marine willing to give his or her life in defense of their embattled homeworld. The ultimate battle is about to be waged—with breathtaking new attack technology, an ancient code of courage, and the help of an ally race that once inhabited the Earth—in a war that will alter the universe forever . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, Feb 2 2007
By NYC Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Marines: Book Three of The Legacy Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this and thought this was a great culmination to the Legacy trilogy and the six book "space marines" series to date. Nice extrapolations of history, economics and culture and good science - more than you get in other "military SF books'. Douglas (really William Keith Jr.) knows the military and writes well about it. He is also good at creating tension and exciting situations. For newcomers, track down the earlier books - it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Finish?, Feb 15 2007
By Beavisto "Big E" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Marines: Book Three of The Legacy Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
After the slight disappointment that was Battlespace, Book 2 of the Legacy Trilogy, I was a little apprehensive when I picked up Star Marines. Those concerns were quickly dashed as soon as I started reading. The final book in the Legacy Trilogy was certainly worth the wait and the final Marine/Navy operation of the book is an instant military Sci-Fi classic. I stayed up till all hours of the night to finish it. It still seems to me that Douglas is trying to cram just a little too much into these books, but I think this final outing is the most complete and enjoyable book of the Legacy Trilogy.

I don't want to spoil things, but I was a bit disappointed in that the Hunters of the Dawn didn't seem to live up to the hype of the previous books since the primitive Earthlings seemed to be able to prevail whenever they put their minds to it.

Being Book 3 of the Legacy Trilogy would certainly lead one to believe that this would be the final chapter in the series. However, I think the most interesting stories are just beginning and hope that Douglas chooses to continue with a third trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unstoppable read!, Feb 4 2007
By Slistine Covers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Marines: Book Three of The Legacy Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
Talk about an exciting, intelligently written book. Star Marines ends the Legacy Trilogy beautifully. I've read plenty of military sci-fi, and Douglas hands down gets the award for the most original exciting reads! The book draws you in from the very first chapter. You feel literally hurtled 300 years into the future, a very believable future right there fighting alongside humanity for your very survival. I highly recommend you read Douglas's Heritage and Legacy series! Here's to hoping Douglas continues his wonderful writing with a 3rd trilogy.
