Crimson Worlds Successors: The Complete Trilogy
Jay Allan’s Successors Trilogy
MERCS (Successors 1)
Earth has been a scarred ruin for 3 decades, its scattered people struggling to endure amid the poisoned and radioactive wreckage of the final war between its despotic Superpowers. But humanity survives, out on the frontier, growing and looking boldly to the future. But man has never been able to live in peace, and even Earth’s sad fate has failed to slow the call to war.
Lacking the resources to sustain their own armies and navies, the worlds look to the mercenaries of the Great Companies for aid, futuristic condottiere who contract themselves to the highest bidder. Darius Cain is the leader of the Black Eagles, the most renowned of the Companies. The Eagles command the highest rates of any of the Companies, and leaders bankrupt worlds to pay their price.
But there are signs of a force working in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to launch a final war to reduce all mankind to slavery. As Cain slowly uncovers the truth, he must forge an alliance among old enemies, the other Companies his soldiers have fought for years…and the twin brother he hasn’t seen in a decade.
The Crimson Worlds are about to explode into a war that may be mankind’s last.
The Prisoner of Eldaron (Successors 2)
Darius Cain’s veteran warriors have fought dozens of battles, and they have never met their equals.
But there is another power, The Triumvirate. For decades, it has operated in the shadows, interfering secretly in the affairs of the colonies while steadily building an invincible war machine. The Triumvirate fears the Black Eagles, and the decision has been made. Darius Cain’s private army must be destroyed before the final invasion of human space can begin.
A message reaches the Eagles’ base, word that the father he’d thought long dead might still be alive, a captive of the shadowy enemy. Darius Cain is skeptical, but he didn’t build the greatest military force in human space by being cautious or timid…and even the slightest chance his father was alive compelled his course of action, and leads him to a highly-developed planet called Eldaron, ruled by a dictator who calls himself the Tyrant.
Darius knows he is walking into a trap, but he has no choice. He will free the prisoner of Eldaron…or he will extract a vengeance beyond the imaginings of dark nightmares.
The Black Flag (Successors 3)
The Triumvirate. Three clones of Gavin Stark who survived their evil master’s destruction. Now they have cheated death again, downloading their minds into an alien intelligence, a relic of the First Imperium.
Vali, a secret planet, a hidden and haunted world covered entirely with factories and fortifications, worked by legions of slaves, the kidnapped and forgotten of a thousand worlds, working in darkness, building the tools of war for their masters.
Erik Cain, the legendary hero of the Marines Corps, the man who killed the real Stark. For years he was a prisoner, held in brutal captivity on a dark world. Now he is free, and ready for the final struggle.
Darius Cain, Erik’s son, and the commander of the feared Black Eagles, the greatest of the mercenary Companies. Darius freed his father, and now he is ready to rally the free forces of human space.
Augustus Garret, the legendary admiral. He is old, but the same heart beats within his chest, and he will stand with the Cains, fight alongside his old allies one last time.
From the barren ruins of shattered Earth to the farthest reaches of human habitation, the final battle has begun. The Cains and their comrades are outnumbered, facing an enemy that has spent three decades preparing for its final conquest. But the blood of warriors flows in their veins, and they will never stop, never slacken, no matter the cost…not until the battle is won.
Massive fleets are on the move, armies fight great battles. Worlds burn, and the cataclysmic struggle for the future of mankind reaches its terrifying climax.

Crimson Workers Successors: The Complete Trilogy Review.
I believe this is one series that I don't have to tell most readers what I liked about it. Most Sci-fi readers have already experienced that. But for the rest of you that aren't familiar with the author's works, let me say another great Sci-fi adventure that will rob you of sleep trying to get to the next exciting chapter.

I thoroughly enjoyed the characterization, concept, storyline and “… I THOUGHT the plot-twists were done … NO, NOT YET!!!”
My only SLIGHT criticism is that it appears it could use … uh … “Beta Editing”, if that’s even a term.
Thank You! Xie Xie! Mahalo Nui Loa! Spacibo! Merci Beaucoup! Danké! Arigato! Muchas Gracias! Grazie! Takk! Salamat Po! ขอบคุณ! Ko Mo Wah! Obrigado! Σασ Ευχαριστουμε! Tak! 謝謝!! Bitte Schön! það var ekkert!

I overall like box sets or ease of use. This series was short and sweet. The overall plot and characters was fun to read about, with current persons and new ones within the overall series. The plot was a new twist on what happens within the lives of the main characters.
