Children of Earthrise #6
The Legacy of Earth
The basilisks, cruel alien serpents, attacked our world. They bombed us. Hunted us. Butchered us without pity. But now we will be the hunters. We will assemble a fleet. We will cross the vastness of space. And for the first time, we will strike the enemy on his own soil. It's a time for courage. A time for heroes. We will no longer hide in bunkers. We will no longer die like sheep. Freedom will be won with blood and fire. Freedom will be the legacy of Earth. We are the last humans. And we will win!

Invade the Basilisk homeworld to finally win Earth's future? First they have to make Earth snake-free.
The fight for Earth is nearly over! The last bastion of the Basilisks is New York City, and Rowan and Bay are leading the Earth's army into taking the city back from the snakes and cleaning the Earth of snakes!
Emet Ben-Ari, the leader and commander-in-chief of Earth and it's forces plans to lead the fight to the Basilisk homeworld and kill Queen Zerka!
The author gracefully completed the Children of Earthrise Series, bringing to a conclusion the epic battle for humanity to once again live free on Earth. This book and the entire series has introduced an amazing cast of characters. In a future galaxy where Earth has been torn from humanity and mankind dispersed across the stars, reviled and despised as vermin, pests to be eliminated, the descendants of the legendary heroes of old Earth will rise against oppression and lead mankind home. That's a tall order for anyone, but the characters taking part in this story are up to the task, or will be when the time is right.
As usual, the author has brought us rich, warm characters that are familiar, comfortable, friends we've known and welcomed into our homes for years. The storyline, in all its threads and streams, kept us on the edge of our pages. The battle sequences are amazing and intense!
If you haven't read the series yet, I envy you! You get to meet and fall in love with these characters for the first time! All the worlds still lie ahead of you! The tears for fallen heroes haven't spilled yet. I can't help but feel that you'll love The Children of Earthrise Series as much as I have! Good Reading!

Wonderful series!
Read them all, start to finish! Great characters, wonderful world building! Why the 4 out of 5? Got a bit weary of severed limbs and exploding intestines. After a while it's all the same and gets a bit repetitious. It seems inserted just to add pages. It's still a great read!

Love it
I have been reading this series since the first earth rise book and I'm hooked. There are many deep characters that I find myself relating to being a veteran. I can't wait to read the next story based in this amazing and cruel universe...

The Legacy of Earth
A perfect finish to this series. So much sorrow and death but in the end Earth was reclaimed and they began to rebuild. There is hopefully so much to look forward to. New heroes will make Earth a better. Don't dare try to attack them because they will fail.

A Fitting End!!!!
Another EarthRise saga ends. After reading the or iginal EarthRise
series I was a little skeptic heading into this one but the sequel does do justice.
With elements from The first series every now and then, this becomes a fitting sequel.

A great series. Always a page Turner. I recommend this series big time.
The humanity of the people in the whole series was truly breathtaking and heroic. A page Turner for sure. Rowan was my favorite character ;) .

good story, but a little like a shaggy dog story, good read. I wonder how the author will finish this series. I have loved all the action and the unbelievable solutions they come up with.

A Good Ending
This whole series is an inspiration. A pawn to what can be done once our will is set. Deep charts well written. Enjoy!

I don’t get it. The story is supposedly set thousands of years in the future but they seem to be stuck in the twentieth century. Why?

Revenge.
Science Fiction without a doubt,
So many different aliens that it’s hard to keep with them all and amazing space battles that the galaxy have never seen before.
The author Daniel Arenson manages to write a great ending for this series.
Beautiful narration by Jeffrey Kafer for each of the characters in this creation.
My absolute recommendations !!!
Oded Ostfeld.
