Customer Reviews

Great Fun Read

The Regiment is a great read with a very involving plot. It has semi-superficial, but interesting characters. It has a sensible, if odd, philosophy. It's not a deep or complex book, but it will pull you in and keep you turning pages if you let it. It is easy to read and pretty predictable, if not entirely so. It has well writtain action scenes and simple but intriguing backstory. It's not for everyone, but if you want to think a little and waste some time with fun, then it is a great book.

A great start to a good series of books...

The Regiment is a delightful book. The plot is somewhat simple, but the characters and ideas that fill the book make it a must for any lover of military science-fiction or just lovers of science fiction in general. If you like David Drake's books, try John Dalmas's books. The setting is a fully detailed universe and this book is just the first in a long series of books which will be based in this universe. Watch out, it is in no way a Standard book in any sense of the word.

Excellent! Worth getting caught up in!

I read this book and loved it. The plot was easy to get caught up in and the characters believable. The end had me unable to put the book down, till the last page.

One of the greatest and most detailed military sci-fi novel

I have read a lot of military sci-fi in my life and this one is right up there at the top.

Greatest Military and Philosophy Book combined!

It starts as a military story but what it is, is a story about a new philosophy combatting against a federation that strives and kills for the status quo...and it brings you along until you totally get the ideas and concepts of the T'sel Which rocks beyond belief!
