Synopsis

It’s the master tactician of the ruthless Galactic Empire versus the Free Planets Alliance in Japan’s greatest space opera epic!

In the thirty-sixth century, humanity has conquered the galaxy and colonized countless star systems. The Galactic Empire, modeled along Prussian lines, and the democratic Free Planets Alliance are at war, and the fate of every human being in the universe hangs in the balance. This classic Japanese space opera, adapted into a legendary anime, is finally available in English for the first time.

A grand scheme for retaking Iserlohn is delivered to Reinhard, who with renewed determination seeks to become ruler of the galaxy and to fulfill the oath he made with a dear, departed friend. But what are the aims of Phezzan, the third force at work behind the scenes? Meanwhile, no sooner is Yang breathing a sigh of relief when Julian returns from his first combat mission than he is summoned to an inquest and departs for the capital of the alliance. As if waiting for this opportunity to strike, however, the imperial military's secret weapon appears right at the gates of Iserlohn. The battle begins! Who will endure?

Review also published here Endurance is the third part of Yoshiki Tanaka's Legend of the Galactic Heroes series. As such, please be aware that there'll be spoilers for the first two books here! Compared to the first two books, I would argue that Endurance is the slowest. Both Dawn and......more

Goodreads review by Philipp on October 13, 2017

Starts off slow, then features a space battle involving a moving fortress. Just like the previous books it sometimes makes it too easy for its protagonists - in this instance, Wen-Li's enemies are idiots that are easily overcome. The third power Phezzan is developed a bit more and things actually st......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on January 12, 2024

Great book. Continues on the events of the second book so well and addresses the consequences for plot. Characters are written well and this is the first point where I have begun actively rooting for some of them as they traverse the plot.......more
