Publisher Description
In the future,
earth's warriors have
conquered the heavens.
But on a distant world,
Humanity is in chains ...
Many millennia ago, the human race was enslaved by the An -- a fearsome alien people whose cruel empire once spanned the galaxies, until they were defeated and consigned to oblivion. But a research mission to the planet Ishtar has made a terrifying -- and fatal -- discovery: the Ahanu, ancestors of the former masters, live on, far from the reach of Earth -- born weapons and technology ... and tens of thousands of captive human souls still bow to their iron will. Now Earth's Interstellar Marine Expeditionary Unit must undertake a rescue operation as improbable as it is essential to humankind's future, embarking on a ten-year voyage to a hostile world to face an entrenched enemy driven by dreams of past glory and intent once more on domination. For those who, for countless generations, have known nothing but toil and subjugation must be granted, at all costs, the precious gift entitled to all of their star-traveling kind: freedom!
Customer Reviews
Star Corps
Very good novel. Not quite adult in my opinion, because of lack of depth in characterizations.
One of the Best in hard military sci-fi series ever
The author a former Navy corpsman himself combines a thorough knowledge of the Marines, both past and present with a excellent grasp of physics to create a wonderful series of books. His physics and archeology are sound and he takes the time to explain his concepts as they apply to future space travel. All the while running through all three trilogies is a fascinating back story brought to it's final conclusion in the final book of the series.
