Duchy of Terra Universe #9
Eyes of Tomorrow
An ancient power unleashed from its prison.
Fleets summoned by oaths old and new alike.
A rising tide of war that may consume the galaxy!
Captain Morgan Casimir’s mission to stop a war has ended in a nightmare. In the heart of an ignored nebula, trapped behind a ring of newborn stars, she has awoken a creature of another time: the horde of biological starships who call themselves the Infinite.
Fifty thousand years ago, the Infinite drove the galaxy’s Alavan Precursors to a grave mistake that destroyed all that was. Unleashed once more by the very people Morgan Casimir sought to stop, the Infinite now threaten an entirely new era. The only thing standing in their way is a fragile alliance of old enemies, determined to keep them contained in the Astoroko Nebula.
But when that ancient prison fails, the galaxy must stand together—or watch the beginning of a golden age dissolve into apocalypse…

EYES OF TOMORROW Is the ending to the Duchy of Terra universe. I've enjoyed all nine novels and found this one to be particularly awesome. I regret that Glynn Stewart chose not to continue the series afterward but after having switched protagonists, it already felt like two separate series. It feels very much like Star Trek as the primary antagonists, the Infinite, are so powerful that a diplomatic solution seems the only way to proceed but the aliens are so alien that it seems impossible. I like that sort of writing and think it works well here. Sadly, I think the book suffers from the fact that we never do get much of Morgan's relationships that I would have liked to have seen better developed in all their non-traditional glory.

Thankfully there was only a six-month wait for this book and it picks up where the last one ended, however I did have some issues with the previous book, especially with million kilometre long, sun eating sentient spaceships. The author has gone for the ‘bigger and badder’ strategy as the series has developed and it hasn’t really worked for me. I also didn’t connect with the main characters, Rin is just anonymous and I’m afraid I’m losing interest in Morgan. Perhaps I was just yearning after the first two trilogies?
I found the first two thirds of the book hard work and just a bit tedious. Things improved towards the end and there is a satisfactory conclusion to the story, but this last of the three trilogies has been the weakest one for me.
If possible I would have given 2.5 stars.

This is a solid ending to the series. I didn't give this book 5 stars because the true motivations for the war should have been threaded more carefully throughout the story. There's still a strong main arc with interesting characters and enough world-building to situate you without drowning in a service manual.
A great addition to the series.

The Series Conclusion
Hello! I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
This is the last book in the Annette Bond/Morgan Casmir series. We don't really see Annette at all in this book, but since I love Morgan, that wasn't too huge of a letdown, though it would have been nice to see her a little more since this is the end of the series...
As always, Glynn's writing is fantastic. Smooth and coherent, and he paints scenes wonderfully.
I gave this book a 4 out of 5 because it felt like the story was...bumpy, then wrapped up quickly. I had a lot less emotional connection with the characters from this book than I did with the previous 8 books.
All in all it's a decent end, and it won't leave you necessarily wishing for a different outcome (or for more). I do recommend this entire series. And I especially recommend this author! Not just because I get to read his books for free before they come out (but that is AWESOME for me, lol!), but because of how well he writes and how many books he gives us... you never have to wait too long for more!

I loved this book! Glynn is incredibly talented at creating wonderful worlds in his books. It was so enthralling I couldn't put in down! I highly recommend checking this series out!

The best, so far.

I great end to the series. It wrapped up the story and ended on a hopeful note, while leaving room for more stories, novellas, or anything else Glynn can come up with in this universe.

It has been quite an enjoyable ride although I have to confess that the first two trilogies was the best ones as far as I am concerned. In this, the third one, the series wanders away from the character that gave the series its name and focuses almost entirely on Morgan Casimir and I have to say that I miss the Duchess. She was not really present at all in this book.
This is the 3rd book in the Shadow of Terra series and the 9th book in the Duchy of Terra universe and, according to the author the last one, at least for now.
Most of the books in the Duchy universe have been four or five star material. This one is a four star one.
It is a decent enough end of the trilogy and I guess of the entire Duchy of Terra series as well. No matter how much you want a series to go on and on it is always best to end a series, or at least pause it, before it outstays its welcome.
As with other books in this series it is very well written, the characters are great and so is the action.
I have to say that I was never really sure if I personally liked the premise of this trilogy though. Living ships hundreds of thousands of kilometres long really felt a bit over the top for me. Then of course the fact that “our side” is constantly and massively outgunned also never sits that well with me but then, that is more of a personal taste than anything else.
I quite liked the mystery of these aliens and the research and detective work that finally brought us to the conclusion. A conclusion that was pretty good as well I might say.
The bickering between the two core powers and potential allies, the constant stalling and usual “we believe the threat is that bad” bullshit was a bit tiresome though.
Anyway, as I wrote, it was a quite read worthy book and a good ending to the Duchy of Terra series.

The known universe is facing a cataclysmic threat that could jeopardize its very existence. Captain Morgan Casimir will be at the heart of a massive coalition response - can she find a way to save the universe and those she loves?
A satisfying resolution to this trilogy. The final ending felt a little telegraphed to me, just out of sheer "how ELSE could it end" vibes, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment. I continued to like getting to know all the various alien races that come together against this new threat, and how vicious foes begin to cautiously and slowly shift their views.
The polyamory was a little over the top because it was suddenly *everywhere*, but eh, sometimes that happens! Morgan's family would appear to become very Laian in the end. :)
Looking forward to exploring what else Stewart has written, now that I've finished the Duchy of Terra universe.

Final Installment to the Duchess of Terra serie!
Wow, Just.. Wow. I've read every single book of this serie at least 4 times and this latest installment just now. So many losses, so many new beginnings in horizon. Ihave to say, this was an emotional rollercoaster of battles, politics, a little rom-com here and there between so many characters in their moments. Glen Stewart has done an amazing job with this serie. I absolutely love this serie along with the Starship Mage serie, Peacekeeper Inititatives, Changling and Onset. And many others.
Please keep writing your amazing worlds and universes, Glen!

Shadows of the Fall
The different characters, humans, aliens and also get lost in the starsI
I wanted to follow The adventures of the Duchess of Terra, and, then Morgan.
I have read the Series from the first book to the ninth without reading anything in between! The plot throughout was good and kept one’s interest. Maybe, for someone mY age, 90! the
‘Technology ‘ was a little difficult to understand. My only dislike really, was the occasional’ cursing’. Understandable to show stress and anxiety, l suspect?
Thank you very much, Mr. Stewart. I am very much looking forward to ‘losing myself’ in more of your ‘mind and soul’.

A Fitting Conclusion
I am so glad this book ended the way it did. Of course, knowing Glynn's writing, it could not have ended any other way, but I was still worrying for quite a while in the middle!
The good, enjoyable kind, from a good book full of difficult questions and high stakes and moral questions.
This book is worth reading. This series is worth reading. It ends just as powerfully as it began, and knowing how it ended I am both grateful for the experience and sad I will never again be able to read it for the first time.
If you haven't read it yet, you should. You won't be disappointed.

And so it ends...
I never got into Rin Dunst as one of the POV characters for some reason. And no owing that this was (for now at least) the last book in the series made me miss Annette. At times this was unfortunately a bit of a slog which never happened to me before with this series. It might have something to do with the utterly predictable ending. In any case it is a fine book and a fine series. But while it probably wasn’t quite a “whimper” it definitely did not end with a “bang”. And that made me a bit sad.

This was a fine addition to the series. Apparently we're done with this world/universe now, at least in terms of the two main characters and their families. A bit sad, but Stewart puts out a million books and I almost invariably like all his other stuff too, so hard to be that sad.

Satisfied end of this wonderful series!
I do hope the creator will some day revisit the Duchy universe as he did such a good job at character development and world building.
The rating of 4 out of 5 is that I thought the space battles seemed to drag on throughout the series with a bit of redundancy but that could just be how my brain works.
If you enjoyed Peacekeepers of Sol you will love this series as it has all the elements of hard sci fi the author is known by although I liked the sci fi elements in the Duchy series better and easily more plausible.

Fairly complete final book in the series. Most things are wrapped up nicely, and although it didn't go quite where I expected, it was nice to see a series completion on this one. Overall, I liked the series, it was a bit slow in places, and some of the directions it went didn't make much sense to me, but that's the fun of reading, you can't always expect a story to go where you expect, because it's not your story, so Anyhow, if you're a scifi fan, this series should suit you well enough.
April 29, 2021
Fairly good story, although perhaps too much leaning on a politically connected low level officer in a military conflict, who actually did not win battles yet was frequently promoted. As with the previous episodes, the speculation on alternative life forms is well beyond reason, while some differentiation is needed for the political aspects of the story. Happy ending helped, I suppose. This episode seemed to work as a standalone story, which is good since it is the 9th episode.

Ugh. I have completely lost interest in this author. He started out strong, quite a few books ago. However, the last few books of his have just gone downhill. In this book, I got the the point where I didn't care about any of the characters, including foul-mouthed Morgan with her excessively loose morals and climbs in rank mostly due to nepotism. Plus nothing much happens until about 80% in, then everything wraps up quickly. It is time for me to move on.

Words are inadequate to describe my feelings of elation at the accomplishments of the Bond heroine.
The proliferation of giant starships allowing strange creatures from other planet sentient civilizations to interact in wartime as well as struggling to co-exist in peace is almost unimaginable. This book offers a charming example of peaceful resolution of the devastating death and destruction facing the entire universe.

That's a wrap, and what a wrap it was!
So many space opera series have trouble finding an ending, the more epic a scale the more threads to unravel.
Glynn succeeded masterfully in a satisfying and heartfelt conclusion to the Duchy saga - ending in the same spirit that it started with. Hope. Hope for a better future.

Marvelous mind-meld
For me, this is a wonderful merger of science fiction and space opera. There’s the adventure and action plotting of space opera, along with a wealth of three-dimensional characters embedded inside science fiction future-think. This series has never failed to please me greatly, and I hope there will be more!

Thanks for all the fishes!
It's been quite a long ride from the renegade captain, the Duchess, the ensign, the Captain, and a lot more. Rumbled through the Exiled Laians, the strictly casted Wendira, the A! Tol, and many other aliens, both alive and long gone. It's been a real pleasure following this series!

Excellent space opera!!!
I don't offer 5 stars anymore except to Hugo/Nebula winners.
That said this is excellent space.
I actually started this series with #7 and #8.
Now I have gone back to the beginning of series and read the context for 7/8. So 1-6,9 were brand new to me.
Worth every dime you pay for it.

Nice but...
This book nicely wraps up lose ends for the story expect for the bio form that got away in a previous book. I'm not sure what it is but this was my least favorite of the books. I just got tired of reading it and was looking forward to seeing the ending I predicted at the beginning.

Samantha Campbell has written a strong review of the book and I recommend reading it. I liked seeing a review that sounds adult as opposed to the commenters that I have encountered. I do not recommend these books to Todd, Geoff, Jay Spengler and especially Claes Rees, Jr. These novels lack the US hegemonic framework, casual misogyny and racism that they expect and enjoy.
If I sound pessimistic, see my review of "Powers of the Earth" which is a celebration of the struggles of the aggrieved white male in a world that has marginalized him. Bizarre, right. This is not the most poorly written and edited version of that theme but it was the first that I saw compared to a Heinlein novel. After Amazon masked commenters ID on my reviews, I finally closed my reviews to comments, there being no point to not. Amazon supports pro slavery speech (Good for their employees to know). Goodreads is infested with white nationalists (who claim to speak for a!l americans). One person seemed bothered by it. I think it must be something in America's water.
In defiance of all the american patriots, who admire Putin. GLORY TO UKRAINE. !
The US hegemonic military fantasy seems to predominate lower end US science fiction and the stories scarily directly map to American political and military actions across the globe. The intrinsic moral, cultural and technical superiority of the North American male (read US, white of only a certain limited ancestry) was more pronounced in Star Trek than the books of the 40's or 50's and with much better special effects than the earlier science fiction movies out of Hollywood. It is no stretch of the imagination to picture a near one to one correspondence between the audiences of these two streams of fiction on a Venn diagram.
There is a third stream, that of the badly used white male and his struggle to overcome the tyranny of those beneath him. This is the big libertarian mantra. As a US congressman (a King) said to reporters, "When did white nationalism become a bad thing?". If this were added to the above on a Venn diagram, I imagine that there would still be a near one to one correspondence between the audiences for all three messages. 🤔
I used Goodreads for over three years, as an easy way to track writers and books that entertained, made no impression (too many) or gave me pause (an overwhelming percentage of more than 1300 books). cgr710 forcefully stated in a comment, (since deleted) that I am a "proselytizer". These books (no matter how poorly edited, badly written and overtly horrible in social messaging) and the readers who defend them based not on the merits of the books but to deny the right of a reader to criticize the books are not "proselytizers". I admit to confusion. It must be an american thing. 😊
You can see why YouTube slowly became my preferred source for things bookish and TV for science fiction. For good movies and shows, Netflix has the biggest collection but the other services all have science fiction classic and new. The Russian offerings are all dark but interesting and novel. I just realized that they are In that way similar to Scandinavian stories, though they have different cultural lenses as is to be expected.

Interesting finish
This was a great story with an interesting finish but totally satisfying. I have read all this series and many more and will miss this universe. I can’t work out how he produces so many outstanding stories. Does not matter how as long as he continues to do it.

Strong, solid ending to a great series. I enjoyed the characters and felt they were very relatable.
There was a level of mystery to balance out the action. In the finish it felt like everything that needed to happen took place and there weren't any unanswered questions.

If making peace could be so easy
Its hard to believe this series at book nine. Each book has been very good. Including this last one Eyes of Tomorrow. Exciting revelations from the front to the very end. Read and enjoy.
