Publisher's summary

There are some things you simply can’t escape. For Van, it’s family.

Out among the stars, his cousin, Carter Yost, drags Van and his team into a criminal ring run by the High Doctor—a dangerous con artist with delusions of grandeur. Working from the abandoned world of Pathway, the High Doctor has created a cult, stealing a fortune from the fearful, sick, and scared.

If there’s one thing Van hates, it’s a bully, and the High Doctor has his full attention. But in order to crush the criminal cult, Van needs bigger, better armor—and that comes with a price.

The rarest metals cost money, and that means doing a few dirty jobs in order to pay for the tools of his trade. Van’s got the will. His team has the skill.

Now, he has to find a way. And the way will surely involve war.

Still pretty dang good.

The first 3rd of the book is a wee bit of a slog, but it pays off with an exciting last 2/3's of the book. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Funny and a great listen

Write faster! Love the characters and their interactions, great narrator keep the series going!
Can’t wait for the next one

A good solid series

I have enjoyed the story line and characters through the first 3 books. My issue is the monotony of the narrator. I find myself having to relisten to large swatches of the book because I tuned out the narrator and have no idea what is happening. Sadly, I’m saying goodbye to this series.

Getting repetitive

I have enjoyed this series but found myself getting bored and not caring about the characters. I am not going on with this series. I am not sure if it has been too long since I listened to book 3. Or if this book is just not as good but there is so much good stuff to listen to.

skillful accurate comedic writing

this author is amazing. the storyline flows from book to book to book finish one and have to start the next immediately. I cannot wait to see how this progresses four down 11 to go

Not my favorite JN Chaney/Terry Margery book but still dam good!

I like this book! There is a sense of a massive universe that just waiting to be explored and we are scraping the surface. Jeffrey Krafts does a good job and I have no complaints. The story is complex which is both good and bad, in my opinion. It seems there are a lot of storylines, factions, and governments that I’m having trouble keeping track of. I like that the story isn’t so linear but there are other storylines that abrubfdly start and stop which don’t seem to be addressed. Either way I will continue to listen as I still enjoy the series!

Wonderful.

It was a very satisfying and fun read. Thoroughly enjoyable. Mr. Chaney and Mr. Maggert have created great characters that are fun and that we continue to care about. Can't wait for the next story. Thank you Mr. Chaney and Mr. Maggert.

Solid continuation of the story

Legacy of Stars is a solid continuation of the story. It is simple formula of military space opera, and it works - just a right amount of drama, comedy, and fights!

I’m really enjoying this series. Very moorish. Listening at every opportunity.

This is turning out to be an outstanding series. Just the sort of story I enjoy.characters a well thought out and drawn. The story hangs together very well and narration is outstanding. Very enjoyable.

Spy vs. Spy

Van and his crew are being challenged by the evil forces in the universe. But there seems to be corruption in Peacemakers Guilde. Excellent story by J.N. Chaney + Terry Maggert. And the many voices from, Jeffrey Kafer. Can't wait to start next book.
