The adventure begun in Janissaries continues. Kidnapped from Earth as they were about to die in battle, Rick Galloway and his band of mercenaries, like the other human slaves on the planet Tran, will not be missed. Subjects of the Shalnuksi slave masters, they are forced to harvest the priceless drug surinomaz. Now, even as slaves, Earth's transplanted warriors are locked in battle-against each other. But an epoch is ending. As the Demon Star sweeps toward its devastating apex, the slave masters flee the planet to await its annihilation in safety. Soon all life on the planet will cease, leaving it ripe for repopulation.… (més)

I liked the earlier books in the series, but this one felt more like narration of a series of wargaming scenarios. ( )

Third in the series. I enjoyed the way the series moved along. The co-author, Roland Green, probably help things along. Jerry promises a fourth in the series but, has yet to come out with the final version. A partial version is on his web site. He owns the book so he'll finish when he decides. ( )

OK, but could probably have been better if I had read the other books of the serie first. ( )

the cover originally turned me off. there's a picture of two men, one in army mottled green camouflage, standing next to another man in a roman classical armor, with the distinctive horsehair mohawk. the blurb wasn't much of an encouragement either. but there , so despite a lot of misgivings, i gave it a chance. I don't know how much my expectations played into this. I didn't expect much from Storms of Victory so when it surpassed those meager expectations, my estimation of the book went up. Or, it could be that i'm just holding a grudge because it proved me wrong. It's not great literature, but neither is it bad. that doesn't sound right either. i think---i think i mean to say it's not a lazy piece of work. the authors put a lot of work into their work. the characters are interesting. oh wait. Storms of Victory is about a planet that's kind of like a personal drug plantation. every couple of centuries or so, they take humans to farm the place. so there are scythians, chariot-riding people from before the classical age, roman centurions, vikings, celtic knights in the tradition of the round table, and now, vietnam-era us soldiers. so there's a powder-keg society that, every time it reaches a kind of equilibrium, a spark is introduced in the form of new technologies (such as wheel, writing, stirrups, horses, germ theory, guns), religions (roman christianity and the newer liberation christianity; oddly enough, no islam or judaism), and economics (...uh? feudalism replaced by merchantilism followed by capitalism?) and politics (chaos, opportunity, and power). so if you're looking for a light read and are willing to suspend belief, then give storm of victory a try. it's more like a pop-corn flick than godfather.
