I never finished Ian other trilogy, but you don't need to have read the first series to get into this one. This is a really good read.

This was a great way to start the beginning of this new trilogy. It ties in nicely with the heritage trilogy, but by no means do u need to read the first three books to appreciate this one. Great start!

This was a great book- I'm definately looking forward to a continuation of the Legacy series. My only problem was, as always, Mr. Douglas likes to repeat long parts of US Marine Corps history in awkward ways. But, ignoring that (which isn't really that big of a deal), it was an awesome book, and I couldn't put it down until I was done reading it.

This is very good read. I recommend it to any fans of the genre.

I loved Ian Douglas's Heritage trilogy and Star Corps, the sequel set 71 years after the events in Europa Strike is every bit as good.

Featuring strong, well-developed characters, an intriguing story line, well-written fights and realistic military hardware, Star Corps was difficult to put down from start to finish.

Highly recommend for fans of 'realistic' hard military science fiction, a genre in which Ian Douglas is fast becoming king in my opinion.

While not strictly necessary, I do recommend reading the Heritage trilogy before starting on Star Corps.

I was somewhat worried that the Legacy trilogy was starting off in the 2130's since the reason I liked Douglas' (Keith's) Heritage Trilogy because it was near term military sci-fi (i.e. there was a chance I'd be alive in that time period). Fortunately, the add century really hasn't impacted the story by making the rich background of the first three books still relevant in this series. The Marines are still Marines and the real life nation-states are still represented (with a few modifications for flavor.)
In fact, the Legacy Trilogy reads and feels just like the Heritage books. If you liked those (Semper Mars, Luna Marine, and Europa Strike) then Star Corps will be another great chapter. However, since this is actually a fourth book in a series, please read the first ones before this.
