Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

The union of interstellar exiles founded by Andrew Keane and the 35th Maine has been at peace for nearly 20 years. Keane is president again, and survivors of the once deadly Hordes have been reduced to a status similar to that of contemporary American Indians, which they don't enjoy. Meanwhile, the empire of the Kazars, far to the south and torn by civil war, still reaches north to menace the humans. Naval pilots Sean O'Donald and Richard Cromwell, sons, respectively, of a hero and a traitor, fly their aerosteamers into the jaws of the Kazar fleet. Taken prisoner, O'Donald is seduced, almost bodily, into turning colors and joining the other humans of the assassinlike Order of the Shiv. Cromwell escapes to alert the north of this new menace. The union expands its naval aviation in time to win the first round against the Kazars, but it is obvious that Forstchen is launching a new cycle of the adventures of the Lost Regiment and its descendants. Good news for action-sf lovers! Roland Green

4.0 out of 5 stars when will the story continue, Dec 2 2007
By Robert Bottos "Rebel Rob aka Avid Fan" (Coquitlam, British Columbia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read the entire Lost Regiment series and so I was quite thrilled to see that Mr. Forstchen was revisiting it and starting up a new series. I raced through the book and enjoyed every page. And then I waited for the inevitable sequel, and waited, and waited. That was almost 7 years ago and I'm still waiting for the next book in the series. I'm begining to think that Mr. Forstchen has abandonned this series to pursue more lucrative ventures with his new writing partner, Newt Gingrich. It's really too bad as I thought this new series had potential.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really a 4.5 Star... I love this series!!, Mar 10 2003
By Sonterro (Lakeland, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This is another good book. This is a great series. I am still waiting for mor information on the ancients and what caused their downfall.

This book picks up 20 years after the final battle. There is a new race of "beasts" out there. This race is much more advanced than the humans. At least 50 years. Truly giant ships and fast planes. I would say they are advanced similar to America just prior to WWII.

The ending is left wide open for the next two or three novels. I hope Forstchen keeps it up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new start!, May 25 2002
By A Customer
The Lost Regiment Series was terrific and I felt as if I lost an old friend upon completing the "final" chapter. With much surprise, I stumbled upon "Down To The Sea" and enjoyed it thoroughly. IT'S A GREAT AND FAST READ. BRING ON THE NEXT BOOK AND KEEP 'EM COMING!
