BEST EMPIRE OF MAN BOOKS

These are two best books in Empire of Man series by John Ringo and David Weber, March Upcountry and March to the Stars.

Match Upcountry: The first book in Empire of Man series introduces us to a character named Prince Roger. He is the third to the throne of Empire of Man. All his life, the young man has been pampered with all sorts of goodies but also isolated from power and is never allowed to take part in any political activities and has never been told why his beloved father was banished.

As a result, the young prince has grown up aggrieved and full of self-doubt which he masks out with lots of acting and intense arrogance. In other words, he is a jerk and has been nearly damaged for any reasonable use. As the third in the line, Prince Roger’s existence is much important to both the Empire of Man and those wishing to bring it down and thus he is protected by a professionally trained squad of Royal Marines.

As the book opens, we find Roger sent by his mother on a trip to a distant planet to attend an event. Along the way, the prince’s ship is sabotaged in an assassination attempt. The ship is forced to land far from their intended course on a deserted planet, and the Empire of Man thinks that the prince has been killed. The spaceport now in the enemy hands in on the other side of the planet from where they crash-landed- and thus they must trek to find the spaceport.

The first book in Empire of Man series a great work of science fiction. Most of the story focuses on Prince Roger becoming a useful young man over the course of their long trek. The trek itself is the fascinating part of the story, with lots of hazards and many groups of natives to deal with. As they travel, Roger’s guard is forced to rely on more primitive equipment, and they gradually adapt to the primitive native material and weaponry.

Match to the Stars: The third book in Empire of Man series, featuring plenty of space, land and water battles where we have explosions, cannibals and intergalactic scheme of treason and betrayal. The novel follows Prince Roger’s quest to safely return home traveling to the continent where the spaceport is a house on through explosions, cannibals and interstellar conspiracy theory- that claims that the prince killed his siblings and tried to overthrow those in power.

In response, Roger and his dying company of Royal Marines use their alliance with a primitive industrial city-state to create small ships capable of sailing across the deep waters to the continent with the spaceport. Along the way, they encounter mountain tribes, cannibal cult, settle disputes and take on the starport. But will Roger be welcome home after trying to overthrow the empire and killing his siblings?
