SIEGE OF TITAN
In the first book of the Star Crusades Uprising series, the bloody struggle is told through the eyes of an illegal pit fighter named Spartan, who is forced to choose between incarceration or military service. Choosing the Confederate Marine Corps over servitude he begins his thirty long weeks of training. Together with his group of marines, they are honed into a force ready to be thrown into the meat grinder on the newest and greatest planet in the Confederacy, Proxima Prime. His term of service will soon become one of violence and carnage, as the entire sector is ripped apart by a brutal and virulent religious movement and its shocking plans.
TEARS OF KERBEROS
The religious insurgency continues to spread through the weakened colonies of the Confederacy. Spartan, now a sergeant in the Marine Corps and his armoured platoon is rushed to the defence of New Carlos on the planet of Prime. The massive city is besieged by the terrifying biomech shock troopers, its fall is imminent. As the battles rage across the continent enemy agents continue to foment revolt throughout the remaining colonies in their struggle to bring the empire crashing down.
FIRES OF PROMETHEUS
The sector is entering a short period of calm. There is peace in Proxima Centauri but for how long? The religious insurgency has already exploded throughout the system and one by one the colonies have seceded from the Confederacy, lured to the offerings of the Church of Echidna. Spartan and General Rivers have vanished and are presumed to have been executed at the hands of their Zealot captors for the murder of the President of Kerberos.
BATTLE FOR PROXIMA
In this latest book of the Star Crusades Uprising series the Confederacy is on its knees. Months of war have lost them most of the populated colonies and more will surely follow. Spartan, now a Lieutenant in the Marine Corps has been given his own special platoon, the Vanguards. Using the best weapons and armour in the Confederate arsenal, his unit is thrown back to the Bone Mill to locate information that could change the war.
FALL OF TERRA NOVA
The action shifts to Terra Nova, the shining beacon of humanity and the single most important planet in the Confederacy. Guarding access to this isolated planet is the Anomaly. This mysterious location is the gateway to Terra Nova and the rest of the Confederacy. When the Echidna Union begins moving scores of ships to the Anomaly, Admiral Jarvis must make a critical decision that could win or lose the war. Either she continues Operation Perdition and reclaims the lost colonies of Proxima Centauri, or she sends the fleet to take control of the Anomaly and the route to Terra Nova in one final apocalyptical battle.
SLAVES OF HYPERION
The newly founded Alliance rises from the ruins of the old Confederacy. Scattered groups of the enemy remain, but organised resistance has been crushed. Amnesty has been granted to those still at large and peace has returned to the war-torn colonies. Or has it?

Nice but...
I’m afraid I’ll have to give a lower rating than I’d like for this series, mainly because the writing was quite rough and distracted from the storyline. The characters generally weren’t that believable, especially in how they thought and spoke. Nonetheless, the overall plot was interesting, I think this author and his stories have potential, and I am hopeful that he will improve over time...

it is obvious that the author did not have anyone proofread the books. They are filled with grammatical errors (misspelled words, extra words, wrong tense, awkward sentence structure). At times it was very difficult to understand what the author was trying to say, even after rereading the section multiple times. This distracted from what might have been a good story.

Old Style Fun
In the old Cowboys and Indians style, this smash and bash story has been enjoyable reading and it has helped mightily that it is the entire series all in one. There are a lot of minor spelling mistakes but it was the authors first books. Good reading in the old Doc EE SMITH style.

Good book
The character development and storyline were very good. The editing was terrible. Many grammatical errors and typos which makes me reluctant to order more of the author's books.

Plenty of Action
Never thought I could read this type of book but was I wrong. It was well thought out and had a great story buried in it. Once you start you can't put it down.

My one piece of advice to any author who is self-publishing goes double for this author...
Find an editor!!!!!
The storyline is moderately interesting, but there's clearly no understanding of concepts like character development, pacing, or story structure. And if you're bothered by typos and grammatical errors, don't even bother picking this one up. The errors are so consistent throughout that it's truly painful to read.

This box set includes the first three books in the Star Crusader series (Hero of the Alliance, Knighthawk Squadron, and Operation Hellfire). There is violence. While you can read these books as standalones, I recommend that you read them in the order written so you fully understand the storyline and characters. This set allows you to do that easily. I enjoyed these books and want to read more of the series. I would have rated this set higher if there weren't editing issues throughout the books.
