Product Description
It has been 10 years since a group of American Civil War soldiers was swept away from the battlefields of Earth to a distant world--where the only place for a human is as a slave to an alien race. But even though they are far from home, the members of the Union 35th Main regiment still embody the radical ideas of democracy and freedom--and they're willing to lay down their lives rather than sound retreat! Ads in "Locus".

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good transition., August 11, 2000
By Sergio Flores (Orange, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tanks and machine guns. Ha'ark has been forced to attack the Republic before he was absolutely ready, but the Republic buckles under pressure. This time both armies are modern and their leaders understand modern war. Also, expect the unexpected from Hans, who will turn the tide once more. A very interesting aspect of the series is how fallible Keane is. He inspires his people, but makes terrible mistakes that must be payed for with lots of blood later on. This destroys him little by little. Forstchen manages to make him very human, very far from a legend, and closer to what people really are. This book is transitional. Not as spectacular as those before, it still is very good and sets the stage for more to come. Also, a new major character is developed: the tank commander Timokin. And since Ferguson is dead, the technological edge that the Republic could always count on seems threatened. Read on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Long on Battles, Short on Story, August 23, 2001
Although this series is interesting enough for me to go out and buy all the volumes, I'm getting tired of reading one battle scene after another. It seems that if you open the book at random, pretty much any page you turn to has fighting on it. And I'd like more maps, please. Without maps and diagrams I find it pretty meaningless to read a battle description. It's getting predictable, too: just when ALL is lost for the humans, some super-human effort is made, and they triumph. I would like to read more about the characters, what they do when they're not fighting, for example. Also, I'd like to know more about the effects on the social organizations of the Cartha and the Roums of having made contact with such a vastly different social paradigm as the Yankees represent. I wonder if it's a male/female thing; I notice that most of the reviewers give all the books in the series 5 stars, and I get the impression that these reviewers are all men.

5.0 out of 5 stars A totally new direction., August 27, 1998
By Brad Hansen bhansen@kumc.edu (Kansas City, Kansas) - See all my reviews
Everytime before a new book comes out in this series I try to guess the next plot line. I knew the humans wouldn't have gotten away so easy. So I figured on everything from another modern set of humans (Confederates I planned), Horde rediscovery of ancient weapons, to different alien races would arise to challenge the 35th. But a new Horde leader is genius. But 1 criticism. I feel Forstchen is writing himself into a corner by allowing weaponry to advance too fast. He will lose the civil war theme soon by bringing in airplanes 45 years too soon. And why havent the humans adapted aerosteamer engines to land transport? And certainly at least some humans must have tried to rebel before? But all in all a good work. Please hurry and give a map also.
