Escape to Earth #4
The Legacy of a Conqueror
From the International Bestselling Author, Saxon Andrew, comes the fourth book in the Escape to Earth Series-The Legacy of a Conqueror. The Combined Fleets have pushed back the invasion fleet from the giant galaxy, M-87. However, another player has entered the game and has attacked M-87 with a vengeance. It doesn’t take long to discover that the Milky Way is the next target of the Grey Colored Warships.
While this new enemy is moving forward, Earth’s best warrior has been arrested and faces charges of treason. The Leaders of Earth see the relationship with the Fellowship Civilization falling apart if Christopher Stone is not turned over for trial. With three galaxies at war and a fourth arming to join the conflict shortly, they reluctantly send him to be tried by the Fellowship.
The entire cluster is a war zone and Lukas has decided that Earth is not going to continue to wait for enemies to attack; Earth is going to take the fight to those that wish to eradicate mankind. It will require a special human to go out and kill trillions to defend Earth and Lukas is wondering what his Legacy will be. One thing he knew for certain certain, planets were going to burn.
The Legacy of a Conquer continues the story of an alien striving to defend Earth against overwhelming odds. The action builds into a climatic confrontation between four galaxies and a distant enemy.
Excerpt from Legacy of a Conqueror:
“CHRIS!”
“Go ahead, Loree!”
“Something has entered M-87and is destroying all of our probes ahead of it on a line from the edge of the galaxy directly toward the Legends’ planet. The probes have not seen what is killing them.”
Chris stood up, “If you have any of your scouts near that line, get them out now!”
“Already done but we have no way to know what’s doing it.”
Chris sat down and started activating his console, “I’m going into the barrier and see if we can find out.” Chris looked up, “Barbie, do you have the line the probes are being taken out?”
“I do.”
“Give me coordinates ahead of whatever is doing it. Do not pick a location close to the Legends’ Planet.” Chris saw the numbers appear on his panel and he turned the steering wheel and pressed the right pedal. He saw Allison buckle in and activate her armor. He pressed a button on his chair and his armor instantly surrounded him. The Barrier Pod skipped across the giant galaxy in an instant and came to a stop at the coordinates Barbie had given him. “Estimate on how far out it is?”
Allison looked at her console, “It will be here in less than ten seconds. Chris keep your foot on the pedal and be ready to get out here!”
Chris stared at the void monitor as he said, “Why?”
“This may be more Legends.”
Chris’s eyes widened and he started to get out but it was too late. They stared at the void monitor and saw a ship coming at them that was beyond their worst nightmares. It flew past them in an instant and Chris held his breath. He watched for it to turn and come back toward them but it continued toward the Legends’ Planet. Allison was shaking as she looked at him, “WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN!?”
“It was here before I could. I was too stunned to react.”
Allison blew out quick breaths and fought to gather control of her breathing and heard, “I guess that answers one question.”
Chris exhaled, “What is that Barbie?”
“They can’t see us in the barrier.”
Allison shook her head, “That’s a hellava way to find out!”

Good continuation of series.
#4 book of 5 in the series. Another solid continuing story of the series by Andrews. The characters are great engaging. it is a comfortable read sometimes a little confusing as clarity is difficult at times. I enjoyed this book and am eager to finish the next.

I have to admit I still enjoy this series, but I found this heavier going than the previous books, partly because it has a lot more emotional baggage.
I also thought the rate and scope of the technical developments and the addition of new super-assailants was becoming a bit over-the-top.

Just OK.
There were some interesting ideas a concepts introduced (specifically in regards to petroleum, but by the same token you need to wonder why the Earth has such an abundance in comparison to other worlds?) however the writing was a little bit clunky and it just didn't flow that well.
The continuous evolution of weaponry and defenses throughout the series without any real scientific explanation was somewhat annoying, however it did recall the classic Lensmen books in a fashion so I was willing to give that a miss.

Very good series
Not as tight on the technical details as others I've read, but the characters are real enough and the challenges they face are believable. I enjoyed reading it! I'm hoping that there will be more stories in this universe.

Great series
Very interesting series, I like the approach the author took with the technology advances society made and how the emotional toll made them better for it. The other societies eventually fall in and become allies of earth.

Another fine book
I love this series and when I get a new one I read right to the end . Everyone one of the books are page turners and have just the right amount of action in the storyline along with a little humor. Great job Saxon Andrew.
