Product Description

Product Description
David Weber's Honor Harrington has famously conquered our universe, most recently with the New York Times bestseller Ashes Of Victory. Now David Weber, with the able assistance of his fast-rising military SF cohort John Ringo, has done it again with the creation of a new kind of hero, Prince Roger MacClintock! Roger is a spoiled young princeling hardly worth the space he takes up. Now he must become a man, or the entire galaxy will suffer from arrested adolescence!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good spoilt brat coming of age, 23 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: March Upcountry (Hardcover)
I was allready a fan of Mr Weabers Honner Harrington books when I read this book. I felt the premise of the book was very good. The 3rd in line to the throne of the Empire of Man a spoilt brat stranded on an alein planet, with just his bodyguards a marine company and his valet and tuter. They having to cross the planet to get the the starport. I like the why that Prince Roger grows and matures as the book progressing as he relises that these marines will sacrifeice themselves for him and the problems facing his mother are mirrored in his problems dealing with the Indigunious lifeforms and why his relationship is so difficult. I am looking forwaredf to its sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars In which Weber and Ringo pay homage to Xenophon ..., 28 Mar 2007
By Marshall Lord (Whitehaven, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is the first in the "Roger McLintock" series of books, and also begins the Marduk trilogy in which Prince Roger McLintock, spoilt younger son of the Empress of an interstellar empire, is stranded on the primitive planet Marduk.

The sequence of books so far in the series is:

March Upcountry
March to the Sea
March to the Stars
We Few.

The title is a reference to Xenophon's "The Persian Expedition" which is the story of ten thousand" greek mercenaries who found themselves stranded in the middle of Persia when Prince Cyrus, whose bid for the throne they had been hired to support, was killed in battle in 401 BC. They had to fight their way home through enemy territory. Xenophon, who was in command of the survivors by the time they got home, subsequently wrote an epic account of their story. These days it is most commonly available under the title "The Persian Expedition" but it has also been known as "The Ten Thousand" and as "Anabasis" - which means "March Upcountry".

Prince Roger, third in line to the throne of the Empire of Man, is on his way with his bodyguard to a ceremonial visit when their ship is sabotaged and damaged. As they limp to the nearest spaceport, on the largely unexplored and barbarian planet Marduk, they are jumped by two carriers from a hostile star nation,the "Saints."

Roger and a company of his bodyguard find themselves stranded, with no weapons or equipment beyond what they can carry, on the opposite side of the planet from the starport. To return home they will have to trek thousands of miles through all kinds of terrain, and cross the oceans. The flora and fauna of Marduk are as dangerous as anything which has ever lived on earth - the land animals make T-Rex or Velociraptor packs look like a minor nuisance and the sea creatures could have Liplorodon for breakfast.

But the animals of Marduk are as nothing compared with the challenge of dealing with some of the tribes of the indigenous intelligent species.

If he and his companions are to get home, Prince Roger will have to grow up in a hurry ...

This series is an excellent collaboration between John Ringo and David Weber. The naval battle scenes and political manouvering could have come out of an Honor Harrington book, while the ground fighting scenes are very reminiscent of the "Posleen" series. In other words, the best of both writers.

Perhaps there was some hubris in giving this novel the name of a classic story of high adventure which has been read avidly for nearly two and a half thousand years. I would be prepared to bet that in 4,404 AD, when this novel is as old as the original "March Upcountry" was when this came out, people will still be reading Xenophon. I doubt if they will still be reading about Prince Roger. But that doesn't mean our generation can't read it and ejoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good blending of two excellent talents, 10 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: March Upcountry (Hardcover)
A fast paced and exciting journey through an alien landscape. The characters and details are exactly what you would expect from both Weber and Ringo, well written, likeable and highly believable. Fans of either of these authors will not be disappointed with this book.
