Product Description:
Planet by planet, galaxy by galaxy, the inhabited universe has fallen to the alien Xul.
Now only one obstacle stands between them and total domination: the warriors of a resilient race the world-devourers nearly annihilated centuries ago . . .
A power vast, ancient, and terrifying, the mighty Xul have lost track of the insignificant humans hundreds of years after devastating their home world—which has enabled the United Star Marines to operate unnoticed and unhindered. A near-autonomous intergalactic policing force, they battle in defense of an Earth they may not live to see again. Now, following the trail of a vanished twenty-fourth-century transport, they are journeying through an unexplored stargate to the edge of an unknown galaxy many light years from their sun. For the last, best, and only chance to defeat the tyrants of the universe may at long last be at hand . . .

This is the first volume in the "Inheritance Trilogy," his third trilogy in his future history of the Marines. It's about 500 years after the events of the "Legacy Trilogy," and humankind has spread over a considerable number of stars, as the Xul seem to have lost the location and even knowledge of the existence of Earth after the Marine raid destroying one of their bases at the end of the previous trilogy.

It took me all of two days to devour this title. I enjoyed the legacy trilogy so much that I decided to purchase this book as soon as I could. I believe that Ian Douglas gets better with each book. The character development continues to get stronger. By the end of the book you feel like you are a part of the family of Marines Douglas keeps mentioning. You start to identify with the emotions and struggles they experience fighting for people who often don't seem to want them around. Ultimately I ... Read More

While the characters aren't quite as strong as those given in the original trilogy, the story goes to a new level. The tech has advanced significantly, the society itself has evolved and changed, etc.
Extrapolating out 1,000 years and taking into account a devastating asteroid collision with Earth, the author does a wonderful job in figuring out social evolution. This is an excellent start to another grand, legendary tale.
