Not just for fans of miltary sci-fi, these adventures of Jack Storm, the last Dominion Knight, are enjoyable stories of adventure and a quest for justice. I applaud Daw Books for releasing these novels in this 3-in-1 paperback format that is a true bargain in these days of corporate greed. And it is a pleasure to be able to re-read these tales in order, as the individual books have been out of print for some time.

The universe created here by Charles Ingrid may not be filled with many new or novel scientific angles, but the very familiar feel of "The Dominion" and even of their foe "The Thraks," has a very comfortable feel. It is like picking up a well thumbed old Robert Heinlein novel, where the characters and their plots are different, but all else feels very familiar.

Never read these in print, wanted to read them now, because, I remember someone telling me about the series in High School...To bad it is not in Kindle store... :(

This was a good book, arrived fast and in perfect condition. I love omnibus editions! Check out his other stuff too!

Very well thought out, however you really have to pay attention to keep track of everything that is going on. I'm the kinda guy that reads for awhile and sets the book down, it was hard for me to remember what was going on.

I remember reading this the first book many years ago, and now its finally back! I must admit thats its even better the second time around. I rank The Sand Wars up with my other favorite series. Hats off to Charles Ingrid fro creating this masterful series.

If you like military SF and true heros and villians then this book will be one you can't put down. No anti-heros in this one. I just wish the publisher would hurry with the next book.

I see the glowing stars and wonder if we were reading the same book. I don't see it holding up to the battle genre. Machavelli might have thought it a good read. I is almost all poorly crafted first year politisci.

The thing that amazes me is I finished the trilog--as I have thrown aside better books. I kept hoping this obtuse universe would take on some substance and it just never happened.

The idea for this book was a great one and it could have been so much more. Sadly, it ended up being way less.

It isn't my nature to post rips on Amazon. On this one I just couldn't help myself.

The book was written by a large woman with a high school education who goes under the name Charles Ingrid as well as other names. It reads like a kids book with shallow characters and a poor story. No description of the Battle Armor Jack Storm has and also you dont know whats going on in Jack Storms mind , only that hes mad. He jumps from one place to another meeting new and uninteresting people who happen to cross his path. It amazes me that any average reader would give this book a high approval except for maybe the author herself.
