Prince Roger MacClintock, Heir to the Throne of Man, was a spoiled rotten arrogant, thoroughly useless young pain in the butt. But that was before the royal Brat and his Marine bodyguards had their starship sabotaged, and all were marooned on the enemy-occupied planet of Marduk. Before they had to march half way around the entire planet, through steaming jungles, damnbeasts, Capetoads, and killerpillars. Before they encountered treacherous local potentates, hostile barbarian armies numbering in the thousands, and an ocean full of creatures that are big, vicious and voracious. Under the right circumstances, even the most spoiled brat can grow up fast. Now, Roger and his loyal troops have made it to the sea, and on the way, Roger has proven himself to be a true MacClintock and a born leader. Still, the sea has monsters big enough to swallow a ship - and across the water is an enemy spaceport, bristing with heavy artillery, against which Roger's team has only had weapons with nearly-drained power packs. But neither Roger nor the Marines are about to give up, Marduk, do your worst!

Another great book from the Weber and Ringo partnership. The third in the series but readers should start with March Up Country to enjoy it to the full as it is really one continuous story and you eagerly wait the next episode. This of course makes it difficult to review as an individual book.
Prince Roger and the Bronze Battalion with their alien comrades still have many more adventures and battles to be fought to reach their next objective. Mardurkan charcters are now playing a more important role in the story and taking to civilisation like ducks to water. Roger's romantic involvement with Sargent Despreaux is becomming tense as the possibility of reaching home increases. - You will need to read it to find out more.
I think that I am beginning to see more of David Weber's personal style in March to the Stars, the story, which has moved through various Si-Fi themes is now, by the end of this volumn, about to take off into space and galactic politics.

By the time you reach this book, having read the two previous volumes in the series, you probably want some sort of plot resolution at this time. Even if it is not stated that this is a trilogy (it is not).
It is in this area the book falls short of expectations, and thus it is something of a disappointment. In a series that seems to be heading for several more books it is not good to delay all the plot resolutions until later. That works in trilogys but it does not work here.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This the third book in an exciting Series which has seen Prince Roger mature and change from being a fop to a combat commander. The battle scenes are very in depth and believable whilst retaining their authententicity. The exciting military adventure continues as the group fight their way to the only point that they can get a starship to take them off planet. What they find during this action filled segment is a surprise to them all. The deepening relationships between different members of the group helps to build the book towards a thrilling finish and leaves you looking forward to the next book 'WE FEW'.

Not The End!!!!!
I really loved this book, the entire series in fact. I was so glad when I saw that there was another book called We Few that rounds off the entire series nicely. Read more
