Product Description

Product Description
Prince Roger MacClintock was heir to a galactic empire - and a spoiled young brat. Then he and his Royal Marine bodyguards were stranded on Marduk with only their feet to get them half way around the entire planet, and he had to grow up fast. Now they have to cross a sea with monsters big enough to swallow a ship - and across water is an enemy spaceport, bristling with heavy artillery, while Roger's team has only hand weapons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Episode Three - The best yet., 11 Jan 2003
By Mrs. Stella White "stella white" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A seriously anticlimactic book, 14 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: March to the Stars (Prince Roger III) (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars No...no...no...this is not the way it should go?!?, 18 Jul 2005
This review is from: March to the Stars (Prince Roger III) (Mass Market Paperback)
When I finished the book...all i can think of was...is this it?!?!

What happened?!?

Maybe I got greedy...my expectations built up to high.
I just expected more of this book. Certainly the way it ended was a real bummer.

I hope telling this would lower the expectations of the readers of this series and maybe still enjoy it.

After I finished the book and understood it was the final book in the serie I felt totally dissappointed and let down.
I felt there was more possiblities.
Starting of as a regular quest/coming of age story it became more than that. You got to know the cast of characters and even care for them.

With the side plot about what happened with the family of the hero..you'd think it would end with a huge finale. Like The hero rescuing his family from a coup détat or something.
Instead the end was nothing special...

I think weber and ringo missed a HUGE opportunity here for a awesome series.
All I can say is...what happened?!? Did weber and Ringo get into a fight? It seemed they just raffled off the ending to this book.

MAJOR dissappointment.Anyway the best thing to say about the book...at least we have closure on a potentially awesome trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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
