Synopsis

After 850 years of voluntary cybe-hibe, General Garroway and his marines have been called back into action, to once again battle their ancient, deadly foe, the Xul. But after hundreds of centuries, there have been significant changes in technology, society, and human culture, so much so that the rules of engagement Marines have lived and died by for thousands of years are now obsolete. Garroway doesn’t have time for politics and silly games though. The Xul have been quietly seeking out the ultimate human weakness that will forever render them useless against the Xul forces-emotion. They are slowly but surely rewriting history to demoralize the Marines and humans throughout the galaxy. And if they succeed, no one will even want to fight them. In the final explosive chapter of the Inheritance Trilogy, it’s a race against the clock as Garroway must stop the Xul once and for all to keep them from destroying all trace of human existence.

Goodreads review by Little on October 10, 2019

Normally at the end of a trilogy or series I not only rate the book but the set overall. This one is a bit different, its 3 trilogies that act both independently and as connected sets forming a series. They can be read as independent trilogies or as a running series. Each book in the trilogies is a......more

Mon engagement auprès des Marines des 3 trilogies Heritage, Legacy et Inheritance se termine. Effectué d’une traite. Je mets 4 étoiles globalement. Malgré certaines formes narratrices répétitives, je me suis bien régalée dans cet univers. J’ai aimé son expansion de la lune et mars à toute la galaxie......more

Goodreads review by Barbara Lumbis on February 21, 2019

End of the Beginning Even though this is my 3rd reading of this book, I'm still wanting more. This book is written for the general reader who knows enough to be able to read this series without understanding all of the technology references. I quit trying to understand what exactly the Quantum sea wa......more

Semper human Whilst an engrossing tome, much will be lost on those without a military background. Having been under the careful care and guard of the fine young troops of the 173rd MEU, I learned a certain respect for the Corps. This book does not who and what the USMC are, and does give a flavor of......more
