The Empress of Terra is dead. Her daughter is on the run, but the time for running... is over.
Jinsha Conwin was born to rule the galaxy, but now she is just another refugee hiding in the furthest corners of the Antares Cluster. With her mother assassinated and the Throne seized by the usurper Lord Jaol, Jinsha has only one asset Eryn Aubrey.
Young, lethal, and trained by the legendary Legion, Eryn is the only thing standing between the exiled princess and an Empire that wants her erased. They have found sanctuary on New Caledonia, a storm-wracked backwater world where they hope to disappear among the locals.
But war does not respect sanctuary.
When a ruthless pirate squadron descends on the colony, convinced it is defenseless, they find something far more dangerous than a local militia waiting for them. Eryn and Jinsha are faced with an impossible watch their new home burn, or unleash the weapons of the Genesis Seat and reveal their location to the entire galaxy.
To save the innocent, the exile must become a commander, and the bodyguard must become an army of one. The Empire is watching, and the shadows are no longer safe.
The Legion may be gone, but its legacy refuses to die. The end of the road. The final stand. Welcome to the explosive conclusion to the Imperium of Terra trilogy.
I really enjoyed the first half of the book, especially as the story concentrated on Jin and Eryn, but from halfway on I was less convinced. I had to re-read several sections because I couldn’t make sense of the ‘plan’, he spent dozen of pages reiterating what a bad idea it was, but still had them jump into it with both feet. Unfortunately the rest of the story degenerated into more of a comic book than a SciFi novel. There were a few interesting twists, but I got the strong impression they were more about the author showing how clever he was, rather than trying to add to the story. Perhaps he sees himself writing the script for a Marvel/DC movie. Overall I found the second half of the book more irritating than interesting.
Quite early in the book I thought this might be my first five star rating of the year, by the end I was being generous to give three.
This is the third of three. Read the other two first. There are some nice twists at the end. However the publisher really needs to get an editor. Honestly, an hour or two's work on the text before pressing send isn't a lot to ask. Marginally fewer errors than in book 2 but still annoying and the facility for readers to report isn't switched on, maybe it costs or something but still...
I love Evan Currie’s work - his other work. I wait impatiently for the next Sorelia novel or Odyssey epic and rip through them with abandon. While I enjoyed the first two Legion books, they never quite reached that level of enjoyment for me - until now. Evan really upped his game this time. The twists and turns, the action - even though I suspected some of it, he continued to surprise me til the last page or two. I can’t wait for the next one!
Evan.Currie is a masterful storyteller who combines action with great commentary. This trilogy of adventure and sacrifice is riveting. More than an action story it has great characters and a little bit of a surprise at the end. I’ve enjoyed reading all three and think you will too.
I have really enjoyed this series. In general, most of the authors books range from good t really good in my opinion and this series is one of his better ones. I like the complexity of the characters, the storyline is good, and the action plentiful.
Felt rushed and needs grammar edits. Good storyline, poor execution. Too bad, I really enjoyed the first two books, and was looking forward to this one.
The book starts out good, but characters are so one dimensional with emotion what is so ever. The plot became stale at the end, which is a surprise Evan’s other books are amazing!
Action from start to finish. Well done and a nice show at how sometime power corupts the mind and how duty has more than one way to be fulfilled and the sometimes the pricecwe pay for an oath, or love, or a future
Story starts small and with detail looking at a long plot but then quickly jumps to resolving the story. Some good action on small scale, closing the intrigue of the series.
