5.0 out of 5 stars Just like swapping stories with an old friend

Meet the Legend, just don’t call him that!

This latest entry in the 4 horsmemen universe is one of the best. It reads like an old friend.

I really enjoyed the book and the tales. Reading of how the Legend gets in and out of crazy situations is a lot of fun. There is lots of humor in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2018

This was an enjoyable book. Situated about twenty plus years before the current goings on in the Four Horseman Universe, this story covers the early days of the human mercenary effort when the original Four Horsemen still were on the scene. Great characters, tons of action, and a well-written story made this one another win in the Four Horseman Universe series. Haven't run across a bad book yet, and this one is very good, and I do highly recommend it. My only compliant was that the ending came extremely abruptly, don't know if that means there is another book by Christopher Woods coming to continue on with Legend, or if that was it. Guess we'll have to see.

I was enthralled by the story, it felt as though i were listening to a friend talk about their past. This book reeled me in, had me not wanting to put it down. It could have been any of us, but it was the legend.

You will not regret reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun. Space opera at its best
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018

Very cool series. Fast moving, convincing universe, space opera fun, finest pulp fiction in the market. I am really enjoying the horsemen universe. Good aliens, good action. It is really just a good Mil-Sci re-hash of 1950s style space force stuff. Only better written.

Good way to while away a couple of hours. I think I have the whole series so far, and am hanging out for more.

If you want "serious" "message" hugo bait sci-fi, you may want to look elsewhere. If however massive destruction, alien mercenaries, and cool space battles, then come right in....

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like John Ringo, you’ll enjoy Legends.

Legends may not be everyone’s cup o’ tea, but it’s a heck of a fun ride. Quincy could fit right in with any of John Ringo’s craziest characters. With a personal motto that seems to be “What’s the worst that could happen?” and the devil’s own luck, it pulls you in because you always to know what’s he getting into next.

Did you ever look at a book description and think this is going to be really good ? Then only to find out it's even better ? This is one of those novels. Compelling characters, entertaining storylines, great pacing, and just plain difficult to put down. Part of the Four Horseman Universe, this is one that you don't want to miss out on. If you're a fan of military sci-fi, this is a must have for your collection. You won't be disappointed.

Really, it is a good story, action packed and pulls some stuff from unexpected places. It is a good, entertaining read, and it pulled me right a long. I plowed through it with hardly a break and enjoyed the whole trip.
Looking forward to his next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is funny!
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2018

I found the short story about the protagonist in the "Fistful of Credits" amusing, but this... This is just hilarious. A touch of "Marty Sue" to the character, but done so light heatedly, that I just can't stop turning the pages. Good reads, this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2020
Verified Purchase
I don't expect much from military science fiction - when you've read one, you've read 'em all - and the mercenary trope is way over used. But Legends was, despite its lack or originality, surprisingly likeable. The author paints a multi-species universe where even the bad guys, if not likeable, are at least understandable, and where you get a feeling where each species is distinctly drawn. The banter between the squad is really good, and sometimes very funny and even though the action sequences are not exactly David Drake, the plot moves along well enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocking Mil-Sci-fi novel! Excellent entry point to the 4HU.

Wow! Legend, indeed! (Also laugh out loud funny, in places). Like Mil-Sci-fi? Grab this! It's part of the Four Horsemen Universe; but you can treat it as an excellent entry point to the universe, or a great standalone novel. Either way, prepare to be entertained!
