Last Stand

Star Legions, Book 4

By: Michael G. Mann

Narrated by: Shamaan Casey

The Black Legion has vanquished every army and fleet sent against it, yet now this invincible Legion is in full retreat as it races away from the Emperor’s wrath. They gambled all on a single decisive battle and with it lost everything.

With victory against the Emperor now impossible, the Legion finds itself lacking purpose and money. They came to the Empire with promises of glory and reward, but now they are trapped and surrounded on all sides by enemies. The massacre of the Legion’s officer corps leaves it vulnerable, and it falls to warriors like Xenophon to hold back their desire for revenge and to put them on a path home.

The God King Artaxerxes is no fool, and he knows he cannot let a massive Terran fleet make its way through his domain unchallenged. To do so would encourage dissent in his already weakened empire. He may have fought off his brother, Lord Cyrus, but the threat of revolt is ever near. Mobilizing forces from every corner of the Empire, he throws them all at the Legion under the command of his trusted lieutenant Tissaphernes.

Last Stand is the fourth book in the Star Legions series from Michael G. Thomas, the best-selling author of the Star Crusades series, previously published as the Black Legion series.

Military SciFi

I liked the narrator in this book, he is one of the better one's that I have listened too. However, I felt the book is not as good, but this could be due to the fact that I have not listened the others in this series. There were to many characters and different races to get my head around. I end up being confused on who was the good guy and who wasn't.
There is plenty of action right from the beginning and it is not as long as I expected.
This is my opinion so others might like it way more then I did. I would recommend reading/listening to the others in the series before reading this one.

Another world..

Not a big sci-fi fan but this novel did capture my attention. Seems even in this world you have the same mixture of love, friendship and greed for money as the 'regular world.' A fast-paced novel that will keep you listening to the end! The author surely knows how to keep your attention and the narrator did a great job in the telling. A must listen too.

Good Sci-Fi

This is the first one of this series that I have read, so, I'm thinking I should have read the first 3 of the series to really understand what is going on. That being said, this is a well written, well thought out and fast paced.
I listened to the audio book version of this book and Shamaan Casey is really good. I love the timber of his voice and the way he creates a feeling storytelling with his voice.

Exciting Story!

This is a well written and action packed tale that includes an expert narrator. I'm certain that any fan of science fiction will enjoy this one.

Great Story

I really enjoyed the story the characters were well thought out and well developed. The narrator brought it home and made them living creatures. I say creatures because they aren't human. The smooth voice and interpretation of the characters brings another level of creativity to this book. Great addition and listen for your library. Well worth the money and time.
