Very good! Even better than the two prior novels!

Great Read
Action, political science and military science abound. I appreciate the examination of ins and outs of galactic politics and the maneuverings of the star ship navies. Duchess Bond is her usual surprising and forceful self but is in the background for most of the first part of the story. Secondary characters are further developed and take center stage for a while. A moral in the story is not to disrespect the envoy of the Empress. Will the Duchy of Terra rise in ascendancy in the Empire? I look forward to another book.

Just superb!
A really well plotted space opera. The first half is the placing of the races and their ships. And with the remaining half being a political quagmire of the highest order the book zips along with elan. Great! NEXT!!

A decent closure to the first trilogy. Overall one of the less bad military SF series I've read in the last few years.

Another space opera in a now familiar universe. This one increases the scope yet again and adds a fun historical mystery. Unfortunately the pacing and suspense suffer from the grander scale, getting bogged down in endless fleet movements and an excess of involved parties, to no apparent benefit to the story.

Four and a half stars. The Duchess Annette plays a strong but almost secondary role in this third book of the series. This actually works out well because it gives ample opportunity for other stars to shine. There are battles (actually just very large skirmishes) to keep the action fans satisfied. A great deal of the book actually takes time to develop the history and politics of this universe Stewart has created. He also makes time to more deeply develop several characters not the least of which is Ki!Tal.
Stewart already has plans for a fourth book. It will be interesting to see which direction he takes. This book completes an excellent trilogy (Book 1; Earth against the Imperium, Book 2; Earth enters as part of the Imperium and in Book 3; Earth becomes a vital member of the Imperium.) I won't turn my nose up at another book or three, but it will be hard to improve on this.

While I just read #2 a short time ago, I immediately got lost in the (pretend) technology in this, the 3rd in The Duchy of Terra series. Unknown aliens attack an earth (Duchy) colony with higher tech than ever seen. There’s a lot of discussion of space vessels classes and types and I’m not sure it added to the story. It was hard getting into it. I had to read the book very slowly. Actually, I had pushed this book up my “to read” list so that I would remember the alien races, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. In retrospect, I wish I had paid more attention to the space vessels. The author, Stewart, departed from what were his previously alien-centric stories to that of tactics and strategy. I had been looking forward to reading more concerning the transition of the earth to a Dutchy and the addition of new aliens forms to the earth.
The plot has four or five powers skirmishing and on the brink of war to control the remnants of an ancient – 50,000 year old – starship which pre-dated all known Terra and the Imperium’s civilizations. (Remember the “2001: A Space Odyssey” discovery of the monolith?) Acquiring it would lead to unrivaled technology and power. There’s the negotiations, politics and inevitable fleet engagement but all-in-all, I felt as if I was reading an update of a C. S. Forester’s “Hornblower” naval battle. (Stewart isn’t even close to the battles in David Drake’s “Hammer's Slammers”). Too bad. I think Steward should have continued to emphasis his interesting aliens and cultures and minimized the technological armaments.
The book was better than just OK, but it wasn’t my favorite in the series by any means. I’ll have to really consider if I will read the next book in the series.

I pretty much read the three books in this trilogy back to back and I enjoyed them all very much. Having said that, to me, this third book was the weakest of the three.
The Terrans are consolidating their place as a member of the A!Tol imperium. They have their first colony, they are expanding their navy and as a hole they are starting to benefit from their greatly expanded technology base. All is well…until a mysterious new enemy decides to pay their colony a little unfriendly visit.
That is when the Terrans discover an ancient and extremely advanced artifact on their colony and all hell breaks loose. Said artifact are suddenly wanted by several of the “core powers”. Powers more advanced than the A!Tol. To complicate matters one of these “core powers” already have their sights set on Earth since Bond gave refuge to a group of their rebels, or rather to the descendants of these rebels. Naturally these core powers are not taking no for an answer.
The story develops into a mixture of artefact research, galactic politics and fairly spectacular space battles. On the whole a very enjoyable read.
However there are a few things that made me appreciate this book slightly less than the other. The main reason is perhaps that Bond is no longer the central hero. She is pregnant and has a Duchy to run so she is perhaps not a background figure but certainly not the center figure any more.
The author is also repeating himself a bit too much. We understood that James was a descendant of the Duke of Wellington who fought Napoleon, British nobility bla bla, the first time it was written for instance. Also, I do not mind if a few characters in the book are homosexual but not that it becomes the norm nor that it is pointed out all the time.
Anyway, it was still a enjoyable book and a good ending of the trilogy. Well, at least I think it was meant as a trilogy but maybe more books are in the making.

I really enjoyed the previous book, right from the start it grabbed my attention and didn’t let go. This book started in a similar fashion, but after the first few chapters I found my attention wandering and then, by half way through the book I was getting a little annoyed. It wasn’t a bad book, but not what I hoped for.
The story started well and expanded quite quickly as more and more elements were added to the drama. However, this is what started to cause me problems, the plot just became so messy, it just seemed like the author was throwing things in willy-nilly. It’s the sort of thing that you get with a failing TV series when the audience figures are beginning to fall, the scriptwriters just throw in everything they can think of in the vain hope something will keep the audience interested, whether it makes sense of not,.
Eventually we get into a series of skirmishes, although these were interesting I didn’t really enjoy the fight because the author just kept introducing new weapons and combatants, including long descriptions of their capabilities. At the end it just turned into a ‘slugfest’.
I prefer my battles to be fought and won based on tactics, intelligence, intuition and the occasional touch of genius. Not who has the biggest weapons and especial not on mystery weapons that just appear from nowhere.
If possible I would have given 2.5 stars.

Politically and technically, Stewart's Duchy-of-Terra galaxy has three layers. Earth is a new-comer to space. The 'Arm' polities have the resources of numerous systems, and have been in space for centuries. Earth was lucky (in retrospect) to be conquered by imperialists rather than slavers. The 'Core' polities have been in space for millennia. Luckily for the Arm, they have their own balance-of-power issues, and mostly leave the periphery to its own devices. In "Terra and Imperium" a McGuffin that everyone (including Core powers) wants is discovered on a human colony.
I've been enjoying the Duchy of Terra series. It mixes space opera with an awareness that sometimes life is complicated, the good guys can lose, and messy compromises happen.
It is hard to write military space opera that isn't dishonest. The genre pushes the author to stage space battles in which the heroes are massively outgunned - but win anyhow. In "Terra and Imperium", our plucky heroes are facing Core ships, and the balancing act becomes impossible. The Core ships have to do stupid things to keep the fighting from being one-sided.

On wow! Me Stewart never fails to delivera
It takes a lot to get me to review a book, and generally speaking even special offers or advanced copies won't do the job. However, I've just finished this 3rd instalment of what is currently a trilogy with little time taken for a break and despite the length and breadth of the universe that has been woven here, little has bored me.
Even with longer chunks of writing over the books, there is little time wasted on catching up readers as to who is whom, and I just love the effort that has gone into building then alien races.
Glynn Stewart has bought us a wide range range of fiction, from space opera, to supernatural police SWAT teams to who knows what else.
If you, like me, tend to shy away from the "earth invaded, one ship has to save the human race" type genre, this series should be given a try. It's well worth the effort!!!
Thanks, and being on more of this and ONSET. I can't wait.

In this third installment of the Duchy of Terra military science fiction series, Duchess Annette Bond faces her biggest battle yet. Not one enemy, but three all converge on the colony at Hope to steal an archeological find. Buried beneath the soil is an intact and still-powered spaceship from an ancient race. The thousands-year-old crew might be dead, but their technology is light-years ahead of everyone else. Can the Duchess and the Imperium she serves stave off the deadly approach of three superior races? Or will all she’s worked for be wiped out in a blaze of terror? This action-packed story will keep you on the edge of your seat as you speed through the pages to see what will happen next. Even with the multiple viewpoints, you’ll care about these characters and hope they find a peaceful resolution. Hopefully there will be more to come in this imaginative universe.

Like all of the books in this series, this one offers a completely different group of problems and issues the characters have to deal with. This is really nice since space battles after space battles can get repetitive. This finally gives us some first hand experience with the core powers, and opens up the door to a lot more to come in the second three book trilogy in this universe/series.
There is a lot of questions answered in this book, answers that I'm sure are going to play a big part in the next part of the series. With us being introduced to the core powers and those who came before. I can't help but think those two parts of the universe are going to play a key role in the next series, and I'm really looking forward to it.

When something ancient is found under the surface of Earth's first space colony (in the Alpha Centauri system), several different empires might be willing to start a war to seize it for themselves. Can the fledgling Human space forces (and their allies) find a way to protect their colony and prevent a firestorm?
Another solid fast-paced novel in a fun series. I definitely enjoy getting to meet new alien species in every book.
The pregnancy subplot disappointed me - it's ridiculous and strains belief that it would be mandated for the Duchess to carry an heir herself when assisted reproduction is so widespread. And I continue to wish there was deeper characterization work.
But overall I enjoyed this book and will look forward to the next one!

TERRA AND THE IMPERIUM is the third volume of the DUCHY OF TERRA series where humanity has been conquered by the A!Tol Empire but has managed to get a pretty sweet deal out of it. Time is moving forward very quickly in this series and we're now decades into the setting. We also look like we're going to be switching protagonists with Annette Bond being replaced by her stepdaughter, Morgan Casimir. I'm relatively okay with this and it's interesting to have an LGBT protagonist in a space opera.
Much of the book is about trying to recover an ancient Precursor space ship with incredibly powerful Coreworld powers wanting to keep that technology out of the hands of the young races. It's an okay plot but I feel the book is hurt by the fact that it focuses less on Annette.

I really enjoyed this installment. The characters details and personalities are nicely building up and ithe series has a fun space battle between earth (tera as they are calling it here) and various alien enemies. Nice that the author has realised very early on that earth wouldn't stand a chance against the very advanced alien races and so has put them with allies.
I listened to this book via audoobook and did find the attempts by the narrator on Chinese and British accents to be quite bad. I am British so am used to the terrible attempts, but almost soo bad that it is laughable. But that didn't take away from the story, so I let them off.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! This trilogy is a very easy read, yet still creates a rich and very realistic first encounter story with strong and interesting characters. Each book has a distinct storyline that compliments the others yet stands on its own without recycling. My only criticism is to the ebook conversion which has numerous words missing, nothing major but it does distract from the immersion.
Can't wait for the next trilogy in the same universe, Darkness Beyond, apparently coming sometime in 2018!

Once I got beyond the fact captain bond & her team were traitors, I enjoyed the story. I've read books by Americans before so it was relatively easy.
Some reviews mention made up technology as a reason this fiction book looses start but don't seem bothers by the world unity thing!
We had a case of a photographer spending 2 years on a court case because a monkey pushed the shutter and so it was the copyright holder! 2 years on a monkey case & yet global unity was accepted in weeks! That's more unrealistic than frictionless drives.
Still it was a good story. 4 stars

Can’t wait for the next book I read it from beginning to the end and one sitting
I enjoyed this book, I enjoyed all the supporting characters of the book. The only thing I did not like was not enough of the Duchess. Plenty of action suspense, I read it in one sitting. I cannot wait for the next one as far as I am concerned I had to wait too long for this one. I suggest anybody who likes this type of book read it.

Pretty good
Good: Ships, combat, tech
Not great: Focused on one even that seemed kind of small given the last two books.
I like the advancement of technology the last two books had and I understand you can't always have big leaps forward but it seems like it was set up for that and then the book ended. Also there was a big question left un-answered. I think the next book might have more but this one seemed a bit lacking

The Duchy of Terra Continues to Win Friends
This is a fantastic volume, representative of this epic series, as good as any that I have ever read. The Duchy and the entire Imperium face off against several of the Core Empires over the fate of a relatively small Alpha Centauri colony. The fast action within this novel continues throughout the entire story.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS BOTH AN INDIVIDUAL BOOK AND AS A SERIES

Life is still throwing Annett Bond curve balls. Seems that since she is pregnant with twins she could take it easy. Not so. The Core Worlds are after something on human's only colony and if something does not intervene that colony will be destroyed. A nice ending with a large cast of characters to this part of the series. But we have not seen the last of Annett and friends. A new trilogy is scheduled to start sometime this year (2018).

An Excellent Conclusion
The danger of trilogies, or other multi book series is to end up writing sloppy endings which leave too many loose ends. That is not this book. It wraps up a modestly complex story neatly - if you don’t wish to read the next books, you can do so without feeling like you’re missing anything critical.
But ... it does set the stage for the future stories quite nicely.

The series has a really good nack for having these retired pirates bond scenes that I've been enjoying. At the same time, it's the persistent problem of the series of not building her in any other way but a bedroom or a battle. There's more to her than that. There's more than that to a lot of the characters. The soccer scene was good though. What about the world what about the people under her. It's a military series loyal up loyal down. Isn'twell executed for nonhumans here.

Interesting and Intense
While I enjoyed most of this story there are parts which were difficult to accept. It is not pleasant to have established characters “killed off” in the course of the story. I continue to hope that everyone I have come to know in the stories will live out their lives happily even as I understand that’s not how life works.
Good storyline and character development continue in book 3 and the story ends satisfactorily for those who survive.

If you like fleet battles with high stakes and vastly superior forces this book will be one of your favorites.
Also a lot of other good stuff, including the politics I enjoy, and we get to spend more time with more characters too which was a nice treat. The universe is a lot bigger in this one, now that the foundation has been set so the scope can expand.
Can't wait to see what happens next.

Another great part of this series, and another entertaining book by Glynn Stewart. We've finally seen some Core Powers and I'm also glad to see that the exiled Laians integrated nicely with the Terran population.
DragonWorks seems like it's going to produce some really nice results and I look forward to reading more about those!

Fast paced exciting chapter in the ongoing series about The Duchess of Terra. On humanity's only colony Hope, an ancient artifact is discovered after an attack on an geological and archaeological outpost. The Dutchess is not front and center for the first third of the book, but several associates are allowed to shine whilst we learn more about the different Core powers.

Excellent, with distractions
The story, the plot,and the characterizations are excellent. The constant references to PC LGBT marital arrangements in the early chapters were unduly distracting, however. After the character introduction a they draw focus away from the story into areas that are entirely unnecessary to the plot and storylines.

Glynn nails it again
This series of books is one of the most enjoyable that I have ever read, and the third book delivers. Great characters, tense battles, awesome world building, and a strong political undercurrent.
In the tradition of the best speculative fiction, this book asks "what would happen if", and delivers answers that both make sense and is a great read.
