About the author
J.R. Handley
52 books262 followersJ.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

Survival of the fittest...
JR has done it again and better as usual. Sad that it had to be Marines against Marines, but some survived the poison and came out better than they went in. This was a great series and I look forward to reading more of his stories in the future.

On to Freedom Legion!
It can't be over yet? We need more Lance and more of the legion! This has been an excellent addition to the main Human Legion storyline.

Great story!
A good ending to the arc seeing the end of traitorous Spartika. I highly recommend this series to military Sci fi fans. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

In the end, the whole series drowns under the weight of its ensemble. With too wide a lens, there is a loss of focus and it becomes difficult to connect to the characters or the plot.
The battle vignettes are extremely well written, but the novels end up feeling more like an anthology of short stories than a cohesive whole.
There’s much to applaud here, but, ultimately more glue is needed to engage the reader.

Action Filled
Lots of battles and ied (improvised explosive device) than you can shake a stick at. Good story with lots of action.
