Europa Strike : Book Three of the Heritage Trilogy

Rating:
Summary: Great Military-Politico Sci Fi
Review: The latest in the series which describes a world in which the US takes on the European Union in a war based on ecological theories. Its frighteningly close to reality.

Summary: A fairly interesting scifi tale about war and aliens
Review: The three Heritage books are really just one long novel. It wouldn't make much sense to read any of them individually since none is a complete story. Anyhow, this was kinda two stories in one. A fairly interesting scifi tale about aliens visiting our solar system. And then (as a bonus) the other story is about a war with the UN and then later, China. Together they make for a pretty good story. I especially liked how Douglas explained the science behind the weapons and technology and described the underlying discovery in the 20th century. On the downside, I coulda used a little less marine comradery and a little more about the aliens.

Summary: Great Story... Sequel please!
Review: This is an excellent "Near Future" trilogy. The author does a nice job of wrapping up the series while setting us up for another series at the same time. This trilogy was well worth the read, and I plan to read it again. If you are a fan of military science fiction, Mr Douglas will not disappoint you.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Those who expect an answer to the questions volumes 1 and 2 have promised would be solved in vol. 3 may be disappointed. The whole book concentrates more and more on the war between the Marines and China, and nothing else. As readers we have been waiting for three books, and then we only get a few lines of information about the aliens/ancestors at the end. The Alpha Centauri plot in the middle of the novel ends abruptly and is never continued.The good action and story of vols. 1 and 2 has now been institutionalised and the fighting gets boring. It is not conceivable that the nations on Earth would behave like this in face of such an enormous discovery. Maybe this book is the preparation of volume four, money has frequently generated trilogies with more than 3 volumes. But if this is the case, we as readers expect more tension and more substance. This book is weak in comparison to the others.
