Alpha-Males: You can't live with 'em, but sometimes you can't live without 'em. An alien migration fleet -- 14,000 starships strong -- searches the stars for a new home, its homeworld forever lost. When they finally find planets that can support them, all they have to do is eradicate the pesky human natives, a task they assume is easily within their powers. But Earth's Commonwealth of Worlds isn't about to give up so easily -- even if it has to create and train something it hasn't had for centuries: soldiers!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfectly satisfactory read. A weak ending did not ruin it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Three-Cornered War (The Regiment Series, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book tied up the loose ends of the previous books in the series, but did leave a feeling that there should be more. It's ending is like that of other series I have read, where what purports to be the last book seemed to finish on a flat note. It is as if the author is bored and tired with the whole project and wants to "just wrap it up."With John Dalmas, and with this series, that is not a fatal flaw. It injects a tinge of disappointment, however. I sure wish and hope that there will be more, and that the author would further develop the theme of the Tzel, and the different way the Iryalans are developing, and what that might mean. (huff, puff, huff) (Sorry for the run-on sentences.) Despite my "criticism" I found the book a very satisfying and fun read. I had no difficulty with "new" characters injected. I did find some of the situations contrived, but for Pete's sake! what "Space Opera" isn't contrived? Get the book. It is cheaper than paying to see another crummy offering of bilge from the nimrods in Hollywood. JHK

Poorly written conclusion of a good series,

This review is from: The Three-Cornered War (The Regiment Series, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to agree with one of the previous reviewer who gave a low ratting of this novel.
This is not a "regiment" novel. It's more like an "OSP" novel -- if you are familiar with this series, you would know what I mean. There were hardly anything about the "regiment" except for the last assault on a flagship that involved about a platoon of them. There were so many unrelated subplots in this book that had not thing to do with the main plot. Even worse, some of them came and went so aruptly. They gave the feeling that they were there just to make the book thicker. For example, in the subplot that "the most important person in human history" kidnapped by some terrorist groups drag on and on for more than 1/4 of the book. I could not help but wondering why this had any thing to do with the main plot. It also felt ridiculous that all these powerful OSP "seers" kept missing the chances to detect the wherabout of the hostage times and again because they always went to bed while the terrorists were tranfered the hostage. Hasn't the author ever heard about the term "24 hours surveillance"? Even the main plot is lacking. Because of the title of the book, I initially expected the author would construct a really complex, intrigued, interlocked struglles among the three powers. Of course, it was nothing but a wish. The "war" was more like two separate wars that each had its own mad villian. When a villian was gone, the war ended. Just like that. To be fair, I have to admit that the part of the space battle between the Confederation and the Garthid fleets was not bad. That's why I gave two stars instead of one.

Pathetic conclusion to a great series,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Three-Cornered War (The Regiment Series, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was so bad that it forced me to do something I NEVER do. When I finished it, I threw it away. It was that bad.Characters appear almost randomly. Some appear to have absolutely no importance in the storyline. Some characters disappear, and their fates are never revealed. And "The Regiment's Last Stand" mentioned on the cover quite simply does not occur. In fact, combat is pretty scarce throughout this entire book, considering it's title. Avoid this book, especially if you're a fan of the Regiment.
