MORE, don't let it be all!

John, ever since you stormed into my office with a draft of The White Regiment needing review, I can't put these books down. I love the way this book blends characters, and finds an end point-but there is so much more to go! Kro is just beginning as a character, and will the Empires learn from each other? John definitely picks characters, events, environments, and plots that feel REAL as you read. Pretty good for an old paratrooper.

One of the best military sci-fi series that I have ever read

I have enjoyed reading this whole series, very much. It's right up there with the Falkenberg Legion and the Hammer Slammers.

Perfectly satisfactory read. A weak ending did not ruin it.

This book tied up the loose ends of the previous books in the series, but did leave a feeling that there should be more. It's ending is like that of other series I have read, where what purports to be the last book seemed to finish on a flat note. It is as if the author is bored and tired with the whole project and wants to "just wrap it up."With John Dalmas, and with this series, that is not a fatal flaw. It injects a tinge of disappointment, however. I sure wish and hope that there will be more, and that the author would further develop the theme of the Tzel, and the different way the Iryalans are developing, and what that might mean. (huff, puff, huff) (Sorry for the run-on sentences.)Despite my "criticism" I found the book a very satisfying and fun read. I had no difficulty with "new" characters injected. I did find some of the situations contrived, but for Pete's sake! what "Space Opera" isn't contrived?Get the book. It is cheaper than paying to see another crummy offering of bilge from the nimrods in Hollywood.JHK

A gripping culmination of the series.

This book provided the important event that the other books leading up to it hinted at.I always have a certain amount of trouble getting started on a Dalmas book, but I was easily drawn in. This may come from a familiarity with his style that I have aquired. There is a sygnificant amount of action within this book. It has a number of different subplots, sometimes you shift quickly enough to become confusing, but what work the reader has to do is worth it when the threads are woven together.The characters that you already know are easily enhanced but Dalmas adds several more. They are easily enchanting, he even makes the villains human enough for sympathy.The only significant downfall to this book, is that the end is not a conclusion. It begs to have another volume. There is a serious amount of growth potential when the author completed the work. However at the end of the volume the author indicates that this is the last volume. The only other flaw that got my attention was the fact that certain things appeared out of nowhere with little preperation in the preceeding text.If you have read the other books in the series it is a must read.
