Book Description

Starfire August 3, 2004
Three complete novels in the New York Times best-selling series, all in one generous volume.

Insurrection: After the war against the Khanate ended in victory, the Inner Worlds found it hard to give up the powers they had seized over the Fringe Worlds during the conflict. So they invited the Khanate in to the Federation, to keep the colonial upstarts in their place. The Fringers have one answer to that: Insurrection!

Crusade: Neither side in the Human-Orion war was strong enough to defeat the other, so it fizzled into an uneasy peace filled with hatred and mistrust on both sides. Then a ship appeared from the dim mists of half-forgotten history, and fired on the Orion sentry ship, igniting the fires of interstellar war anew, in a quest to free Holy Mother Terra.

In Death Ground: The human race and two other star traveling races had warred with each other in the past, but now all three are at peace-a peace which is shattered by the discovery of a fourth race, the "Bugs." The newcomers are mind-numbingly alien in their thought processes, have overwhelming numbers, and regard all other species as fit only to be food animals. There is no hope for peace with the invaders, and the galaxy explodes with a battle to the death. Kill-or be eaten!

3.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, August 19, 2004
This review is from: The Stars at War (Starfire) (Hardcover)
I pre-ordered this book thinking it was a continuation of the series; it's not! this is the novels 'Crusade' and 'In Death Ground' combined into one hardback book. Now it's nice to have these novels in hardback form and I probably would have bought it just to replace the old paperback copies, but there's no reason for this book not to be listed for what it is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless - a waste of time and money, August 31, 2004
This review is from: The Stars at War (Starfire) (Hardcover)
Like the first reviewer, I pre-ordered this book thinking it was a NEW work by the authors. I am a fan of both, but I already have both Crusade and In Death Ground. If you haven't read the two books included therein, this would be a good purchase. Otherwise, save your money. Baen books and Amazon should have disclosed that the book is a reprint, but I guess to do so would hurt their sales.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not at this price, September 24, 2004
By 
David Spiller "scifidavid" (New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Stars at War (Starfire) (Hardcover)
I am usually a big fan of omnibus editions in general and of Baen's omnibuses in particular. But in this case, I just don't understand the pricing ($25.00). Crusade and In Death Ground are both readily available as paperbacks. You could pick up the two paperbacks for $15.98. Hopefully Baen will put The Stars at War out as a paperback in the near future. If so I will pick one up for sure.
