The Light of Terra #1
Darkness Beyond
A newly-founded human colony world burned from orbit
A warship squadron of the galaxy’s oldest race ambushed and destroyed
An ancient enemy reborn in the darkness beyond the known stars
The A!Tol Imperium and their new human subjects have had fifteen years of relative peace. New colonies have been founded, new worlds explored, new ships built. Formal and informal alliances have been built with the ancient powers of the Core, leaving humanity and the Imperium seemingly on the brink of a new dawn.
The devastation of one of the newly-founded human colonies sends ripples of shock through the Imperium, and a battle fleet under Fleet Lord Harriet Tanaka is dispatched to the edge of the Imperium to find the culprits and bring them to justice.
Meanwhile, the destruction of a Mesharom Frontier Fleet squadron calls the Duchy of Terra’s newest warship, Bellerophon, into action and combat with a strange new power that bears all the signs of the Imperium’s age-old enemy, the Kanzi.
Aboard Bellerophon is Annette Bond’s stepdaughter, Morgan Casimir. The recently promoted junior officer will be thrust into the crucible of war and challenged to rise to her mother’s example in the face of this both new and ancient enemy…

Very good, first book of the 2nd trilogy in this universe. Each book has surpassed those that came before it.

There comes a time when you find a series that's captivating and holds you hostage between the pages. The Light of Terra is a solid continuation to Glynn Stewarts epic sci-fi opera. If you enjoy fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi thrillers, this is definitely a series for you. Please read The Terran Privateer and the rest of the books in the series before you pick up 'Darkness beyond'

A New Generation
The main character for this one is Annette Bond's and Casimir's daughter. She's the assistant tactical officer on one of Terra's newest super battleships.
It's loaded with secret developments, copied from the most advanced species in the Galaxy. Using them might expose the thefts. Not using them will doom the humans and the Imperium.
Because the strange not-quite Kanzi from the last book have come back with lots and LOTs of very big ships.
I enjoyed the story for the space battles and the characters.

The Light of Terra series is a new series that continues the story of The Duchy of Terra series. I have read all three books in the latter series and found them very good indeed. Great military space opera. This book, Darkness Beyond, continues the story 15 years from where The Duchy of Terra finished.
Not surprisingly a new threat emerges and it is time for Terra to go to war again. However, this time it is not just Terra,. It is not even “just” the A!Tol Empire but their sworn enemies as well. Not to mention the core powers.
There are a lot of things that I liked about this book. The new protagonist, Morgan Casimir, is a great character. What I maybe liked even more though is that, even though Morgan perhaps is the main character of the book, our old hero, Annette Bond, is not left behind in the dust.
Terra has of course advanced their technology substantially since The Duchy of Terra and now wields fleets that can go toe to toe with anything except maybe a core power. To bad that what they are facing seems to wield just that…core power technology. At least to some extent.
The story builds up nicely to a whole series of reveals as to the mysterious attackers and to their relation with the past history the A!Tols and their old enemies as well as the core powers. Strung out throughout the story is, to my great enjoyment, also a series of battles. All of them done as well as the combat in the first series.
I definitely liked this book. It has a good story, is filled with fleet action, technological advancements, new quite likable characters and yet it is but a stage setter for the main story arc of this new series.
I am definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

DB begins a second Duchy-of-Terra trilogy, fifteen years after the end of the first trilogy. It's basically a series of space battles: Characters outside the fleet/s only make cameo appearances.
Space battles don't make for good fiction. If the bad guys show up in overwhelming numbers and wipe out the defenders, or if the good guys are well defended and shrug off the attack, or if the sides are balanced and settle into a stalemate or a war of attrition, you probably get dull space opera. So the default formula - to which DB adheres - is to give the enemy an apparently-decisive advantage, but to have the heroes win anyhow. That in turn requires the enemy to make a lot of bad decisions, and/or for the advantage to be illusory. DB does both.
DB also takes the third common approach, of having the hero come up with clever tactics and having the enemy fall for them. This also addresses another constraint of space opera, which is that the outcome eventually has to depend on individual protagonists.
In DB, the protagonists in question are two older-generation officers from the first trilogy, and Morgan Casimir, who was a child in the first trilogy.
The series has promise.

THE DUCHY OF TERRA series is an unusual space opera about how humanity has agreed to be annexed/conquered by the T!Kol Empire in order to receive protection from an even greater threat in a nearby slaving theocracy. I would have been interested in following up more on the internal disputes of this but the series has gradually moved to embracing their membership in exchange to a more traditional swashbuckling navy series.
Some of Earth's colonies have been destroyed by an unknown alien race and our heroes have to go out and see who they are as well as what they're up to. This includes possibly making strange alliances with their most traditional enemies. I like the twists and turns of politics in this setting even if I'm not a big fan of giving humanity ANOTHER huge technological edge.

Summary: Space opera/ Military SF with big battles and lots of alien species, interesting technology and a captivating style and story line. there's plenty of weaknesses as well but I enjoyed this book, highly recommended
Plotline: Simple plot really based around the premise
Premise: Complex with multiple species, good, bad and dufferent
Writing: The reader is right there in the action. Good set of main characters as well
Ending: Oh yes, more to come
Pace: Never a dull moment!

I found the first series of the Duchy of Terra quite variable and only gave the last book two stars. However, this book turned out to be an excellent space opera.
The final battle turned into a bit of a ‘slugfest’, but there were enough interesting tactics and contributions from some of the main characters to make it bearable.

Favorite author has another great story
I have never read anything from Glynn Stewart that was boring. This is another example of how well he crafts a story. Looking forward to the next installment.

3.5*. Took off half a star because it tries just too hard to find opportunities to be PC and woke.

Excellent
An excellent addition to the series. It adds a well constructed plot using interesting characters in desperate circumstances. A first rate fix for SciFi action junkies.

Fun continuation of the Dutchess of Terra series. As in Dutchess, the use of strong female characters lead the storylines and is a nice change from the usual six foot five male main characters often found in this genre. The plot moves at a great pace, nothing is instantaneous as in some sci-fi stories. Space is vast and it takes time to move. I have only one complaint, the author spends, in my opinion to much time over and over listing off the number and types of ships in each battle, I find my self skipping over sections in response. For this one factor it looses 1 star. Looking forward to the return of the crazy Smurfs.

This is listed as book 1 in the second series of the terra universe, but it is really just a book 4. it takes place 15 years after Terra and Imperium. I think this might actually be my favorite book in the series so far. The big jump in technology allows for the space battles to be fresh and different in this book even more than in the others. In the 15 years since book 3 lots has happened, and we get to see all of it unleashed.
The new enemy of the Imperium...and others makes for some interesting alliances and cooperation between groups. I really don't know where this will go or if it will last, but it will be interesting to see what happens. I'm not a big fan of not knowing anything about the enemies of the Imperium, and I hope we get to know more about them in the future. Right now they are essentially just evil smurfs, and that doesn't tell me much. I'd like to know more to justify how and why they think what they are doing will change anything.
One of the main characters is Annette's step daughter, and she is a fun character. She is enough like Annette and enough not like her to keep the character change subtle but still different. I would be upset if we were given a completely new set of characters with no affiliation to Annette. We even get some small scenes with Annette and the main characters from the first three books, but the focus seems to be more on her daughter.
A good book, if you read the first three you should definitely read the next three.

After fifteen years of peace, the Duchy of Terra is once again under threat. This time, it's their colony worlds, as an unknown enemy erupts from hyperspace to burn them to the ground. Who are these strangers? What do they intend? And can Terra, the Imperium, and some unlikely allies stop them before they destroy every world in their path?
This is the beginning of a new trilogy in the Duchy of Terra universe. Annette Bond has taken a bit of a step back, although she's still a major player, and her stepdaughter Morgan Casimir has taken up a leading role (reminding me often of Wesley Crusher in her precocious genius-ness).
There's not a ton of characterization work in this one - it felt like 80% of the book was either space battles or preparing for space battles - but I did really like getting to know the elderly Kanzi commander. And Tanaka and Rolfson continue to be great.

I received an advance reader's copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. This follow-up to the Duchy of Terra series picks up many years later and starts with a minor character from the first series. Morgan Casimir provides an interesting point of view and is an excellent lead for the book.
The multiple points of view, while seeming a little scattered, makes it easier to track the storylines in various places before coming together at the end to set up for the rest of the series.
There were plenty of good action scenes that were easy to follow even with the descriptions of the technology that went over my head. The technical details did not distract or detract from the story at all.

The series is somewhat worth it. I like bond a lot and I think she was a poor used wonderful character that never got a real chance at quality development. She and most of her crew didn't get the proper space opera they deserved. Moments where Morgan really adds to her story and moments where Morgan herself doesn't get fully developed. Feelings of being a spare and not really part of the family yet part of the family are told but not shown.
The wide crew does get more scenes but it's the same storytelling style of action and character development through hookups that are fade to black. Which makes little sense. It's frustrating to read this series and thankfully I'm listening via audiobook because I'd not have even bothered to sit down and read this series after the first book.

Awesome
This and his Martian Emperor series are two of my favorite universes. In this series he created very realistic non-human worldviews based on alien biology, history, technology and millennia of interspecies contacts. I enjoy the background universe immensely.
The human race with its factions, competing economic and governmental agendas and its role in imperial politics is awesome. The crises in the series are organic, neither forced into the story nor the sole driver of the stories.
I was and continue to be excited when I can access another story in either of these series.

Promising Spin-Off
With Bond, Duchess Bond, back on Terra ruling stuff, it only makes sense the author would want to create new heroes and spinoff plots. This installment was pretty good and up there with what we've come to expect from the author. My only complaint is a poorly defined villain. I get that there might be a mystery behind the enemy's attacks. But no one even bothered to ask their new Kanzi quasi-allies what this splinter group's beef was with everyone, and we are frustratingly left with no hints by the end of the book. Also, fuzzy blue smurfs do NOT a scary alien make. No matter how much you scar and tatt them up.

I quite enjoyed this, it's a good story lots of action.
However it's a shame some people are so insecure that a book using gender neutral pronoun causes them distress. I was pleased that LGBT+ had representation in the book as it shows the wide spectrum of people in society.
It's a shame disability is still invisible in most books it would be good to see it without it being a focus, but I guess that would trigger some of the same people who can't cope with gay characters. They would claim it's PC and pandering. You have to feel sorry for such people, that or laugh at the pathetic outdated idiocy.

Book one of the second series
Mistakes: I found one mistake in the entire book.
Plot: If you didn't see this coming after reading the first series, well friend you have a trusting soul. I found the story to be interesting enough. Don't really understand what the complaints are about.
Characters: many of the old fast returns, with some new faces added to the mix. My only question really is why are most of the supporting couples of the same sex? I don't mind same sex couples, I just find the amount of them to be a bit odd.
8/10

Glynn Stewart has written many good books. The Duchy of Terra series is easily my favorite of his works.
The rich characters and alien aliens make a colorful realm. The universe he has created with it's complicated politics just adds flavor. There is more military action in this then most of the other books but it is generally well paced and Stewart leaves plenty of room in between to develop the larger story.
I know Stewart has many irons in the fire and I'm sure it would upset some of his fans; but I wish he would just drop everything and finish off this series.

The first book of the second Duchy of Terra series so whilst not vital it is recommended you read the previous series first (it's great anyway so just do it!).
Set 15 years after the end of the first series this story continues the story and explores the further development of the Duchy and it's integration into the A!Tol Imperium. We explore the step daughter of Duchess Bond's first role as an officer on a Duchy Militia ship. We see the emergence of a terrifying race with a penchant for destroying the populations of planets,an appearance by one of the core powers and an unlikely alliance.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book great to see the progression of Earth's Duchy and the development of the characters we met in the first series.
Can't wait for the next installment!

This book almost got 3 stars; however, I suddenly realized it was technically book 4 of the series. So I finished it and went to book 1 and then realized, really, I wanted to read books 5 & 6, I mean now that I’ve finished them, I’ll go back to books 1-3, but I figure that’s a good recommendation.
The author writes good solid military sci-fi without some the flagrant hard core right wing politics that permeate the genre or the anti-officer/leader ethos. And the series has multiple well rounded women, with only one or two oddly out of place references to a character’s curvy nature.

Brilliant!
This was, by far, the best book I have read from this author and I have read most of them. This story gives you everything you could expect in this genre. Unrelenting, cliffhanger action, drama, technical creativity; just great writing. In upcoming books in the series, I hope we will get some perspective on the enemy and maybe the Power behind the enemy? Anyway, I eagerly await the continuation of this marvelous series.

It been some time since we have had the pleasure of reading a book on the Duchy of Terra, but this book does not fail to continue a great series of books. We are introduced to Morgan Casimir, the daughter of genius Elon Casimir, and stepdaughter of Duchess Annette Bond. Morgan who has been thrust into action as the Assistant Tactical Officer of a new class of super battleship the Bellerophon, where she proves she is be more than capable in a war with a new enemy.

I love all of Glynn Stewart's stories but...
Yep there is a but in this review. He had so many characters and different places I almost needed a note pad to keep everything straight in my mind as I read this novel each night. He did make the good guys win again and he created a new universe with Earth conquered and lots of unusual aliens all working together. I give it 4 stars just because it is Stewart.

Just the kind of thing I like to read. Good story here, even though it takes place sometime after the first three books in the dutchy of terra series, Epic space battles, betrayals on all fronts, secret fleets, and a whole new enemy that isn't really all that new once we figure out what's going on. However, it should lead to some interesting developments in future books in the series, so I for one am looking forward to more in the series. This isn't exactly a dutchy of terra continuation, but it's close enough that folks who liked the previous series should enjoy this one just as well.

Good story
More technology than I can understand, but the bad guys get beaten on and old bad guys become friends. Sorta. Removing all the slaves from a society that needs them is going to cause significant problems, problems that will cause other problems. Some could say they deserve them, but keep in mind what happened after WW 1 . A "peace" inflicted on the Germans that led to an even greater war. History does not rhyme, but it will repeat itself.

Delightful and entertaining read.
This book was a gripping trap which I found hard to turn down. I read it through one night and resent ed the interruption of phone calls or toilet breaks. It was so absorbing I even ordered pizza delivered so I could keep reading. Start at the beginning of the series for the best impact. Get your copies as soon as possible.

Wow!
That about sums it up. An enormous risk, an unknown enemy to be challenged and the Duchess and her Commanders and people jump in to fight. But the enemy seems to have limitless numbers. Can 100 to 1 numbers be overcome? Missiles come against her fleet in numbers even the computers cannot count! Wow. I hope the next book in the drama comes soon.
