Publisher's summary

Ever since an attempt on his life marooned him with his bodyguards on the hostile planet Marduk, with its unending series of threats, obstacles, and adventures, Prince Roger McClintock has evolved from a spoiled, petulant heir into a true leader of humans and aliens alike.

This third edition to the Prince Roger Series takes the Bronze Barbarians across the Eastern Ocean of Marduk, facing giant sea monsters, pirates, and the barbarian nations that dwell on the other side. Their destination is a spaceport held by humans of questionable loyalties. As Roger comes nearer to making his way home, he learns that his attempted assassination was part of a larger plot. Not all is as it seems on Earth or on Marduk. Fortunately, he's got the Bronze Barbarians and the Basik's Own at his back.

Planet of the scrapes: don't miss the rest of the action in the Prince Roger Series.

Critic reviews

"The dynamic duo of Weber and Ringo continue Prince Roger McClintock's adventures, which are coming to constitute a military SF classic." (Booklist)
"Parallels with Prince Hal in Henry IV are probably intentional, adding a certain gravitas to the many exceptionally well-done battle scenes....readers can look forward to seeing how the authors will retell Henry V. It should be one hell of a St. Crispin's Day." (Publishers Weekly)

great story except for a forced plot line.

At the end of the book there is another forced plot point that really brings nothing to the table. or overall story. just like with Costus it ends up being a part of the book that just does not need added.

Just as great as the other books!

Wow! What a great find! Don’t you just love it when you try the first book in a series and you turn out to LOVE IT? Well that is exactly what happened here with me. I could not wait to download the next book, and they are all nice a long (so you get a lot of ‘bang for your buck.’) All of these prince Roger books are the kind of ‘long’ that goes by fast. There is plenty of satisfying action and the character development if great too. You really get to love each character and see what happens to them. I highly recommend each and every book in this series…If you like the first book your will like them all.

Love this series

I read this series back in the early aughts. It still holds up. Stefan Rudniki does a fantastic job with the narration.

great series!

awesome military science fiction. How I would love to see this made into several major movies. Prince Roger would be the most awesome lead!

The 4 book series is simply Outstanding!!

Stephen Rudnicki's narration is wonderful too!

superb

This is some of the best books and the perfect combination of character development and action.

Would you consider the audio edition of March to the Stars to be better than the print version?

Sometimes the narration adds to a story, and in this case it does.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

A few moments of genuine laughter.

Any additional comments?

Continues the "saga" well, and I'm looking forward to the conclusion.

good story

Would you consider the audio edition of March to the Stars to be better than the print version?

I think that the audio format may have been better

What was one of the most memorable moments of March to the Stars?

I think the most memorable moment of the book was when roger was able to shock everyone by saying the he had not been the first one to jump to to the other ship

Which scene was your favorite?

my favorite scene was when A high priestess of satin explained how her originally catholic home world ended of with satanism as the planetary religion and how different it is from what anyone reading the book would have thought of as satanism

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I found the death scene at the end of the book to be quite sad.

Any additional comments?

The only thing that really disappointed me about the book was that for the last two books and most of this one they were working up to the assault on the star port and then when it came it was over in minutes and I while I don't remember for cretin there may not even have been a single shot fired.
