Review of Star Marines (The Legacy Trilogy, Book 3)
With the planet's fighting men and women deployed across the galaxyâbattling in the noble cause of enslaved humanityâthe insidious Xul have reached across space to devastate the unsuspecting Earth with asteroid fire. Without warning, a once majestic world is reduced to near-rubbleâand the very future of humankind is in dire jeopardy.
Interplanetary leaders are on the brink of abandoning Earth and its colonies to an overwhelming enemy. But Brigadier General Garroway of the Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Unit is unwilling to concede defeatânot as long as there's a single marine willing to give his or her life in defense of their embattled homeworld. The ultimate battle is about to be wagedâwith breathtaking new attack technology, an ancient code of courage, and the help of an ally race that once inhabited the Earthâin a war that will alter the universe forever . . .

Guilty of the worst crime of all - boring.
I read a lot of sci-fi and the storyline of this series intrigued me. I made it about 50 pages in before I gave up. It was just plain dry and boring. Wooden characters I didn't care what happened to and a long drawn out introduction to establish something that could be established in a paragraph - that the rest of the world doesn't like the U.S. because we won't cede sovereignty to the U.N.
It just isn't good writing. The action is too slow-paced and the writer is too preachy and wordy.
Score: 1

Great conclusion to a Great Series
I have read both this series and the Heritage Triology and this was a great book to end the series. Mr. Douglas/Keith did a great job with the action and with the overall story.
Bringing in the Marines from Ishtar was a great touch. The description of the near end of the world was outstanding. The space combat and the assualt on the alien system was excellent and very believable.
I would recommend both series to anyone who enjoys Military Science Fiction. I hope Mr. Douglas/Keith will write another Bolo Novel.
Score: 5

struggle to finish
I enjoyed the original trilogy, but this final book seemed to spend more time documenting the previous five than getting anything done. Numerous times a character would have a simple thought about an event "I think my grandfather was here..." which would turn into a 3 page synopsis of one of the previous books or a dissertaion on politics or...
Score: 3
