Summary: Nice continuation for the series ....
Review: This book won't make much sense unless you have read the previous installments in the series. Even though (most) of the characters are separated from previous events by a generation, the story relies heavily on past events and will make much more sense if it read in series. I enjoyed this book (and its predecessors). Nothing particularly
outstanding in the realm of military sf, but a solid contribution.

Summary: Interesting extension of some older sf ideas
Review: This is something of a bridge between the old sf and the new. Many of the concepts have been done before as well as the cast of characters. But this is done well enough that it keeps interest. The end also definitely leaves you ready to buy the next.

Summary: Good, but strays too far from it's past
Review: This, the third novel in the "Legion" series of books really trys to be too much. The first two had a solid foundation in military science fiction, and succeeded on that stance. This book seems to much of a setup to future books in the series, with the introduction of many characters whose only purpose is to set things up for later (and, in this book, later never comes). While Dietz is very good (one of the best in his genre, in my opinion) at writing a story, here he trys to take his story and make it an epic, and in that light the book does not succeed. I also would NOT recommend this book for those that have not read the previous two titles in the series. Too much of the backstory is left unsaid in this novel, and without that knowledge the average end reader will be lost.
