Lords of War is the first novel in the best-selling Star Crusades: Mercenaries series that follows the violent struggles of the Alliance, mankind's first interstellar empire.
Spartan is a living legend, a veteran of the Alliance Marine Corps, victor of a multitude of military campaigns including the horrific Biomech War. He is both loved and reviled by friend and foe alike, and now lives out on the fringes of the Alliance. He has fought for money, for his people and for the very survival of his species, and lost everything in the process. But when two of his closest friends are captured supplying weapons to the desperate Byotai settlers of Karnak, the fight becomes personal.
The Great Biomech War left millions dead, colonies burned, and cities turned to ash. Millions more continue to endure in the harshest of conditions. The Alliance attempts to restore order, yet already new enemies have begun to strike at will, encouraged by their weakness. Border planets succumb to the raids of warlords, and many doubt how long the peace will last, after it was won at such cost.
Since the end of this war, Spartan and his friends have worked to create an elite fighting force based at Taxxu, for use by the Alliance. Using the latest high-energy weapons, armored fighting suits and a prototype Confederate-class warship, it will be a force unlike any the Alliance has seen before. Spartan will use this and every other asset at his disposal to save his friends. Nothing, not even the entire might of the invading Anicinàbe clans and their fearsome clan leaders, can stop him, even if it means starting his own private war.
Star Crusades: Mercenaries is the third Star Crusades series, and is set in the aftermath of the apocalyptic Biomech War. The war may have been won, but after nine long years the future still looks bleak. Entire planets remain devastated, and millions of citizens are homeless.

Military sci-fi By Brianna I think I have read my first sci-fi novel when I was 13 years old, and that was the first and last time for many years to come. I simply did not like the kind, and I found the will to try it again only 1 or 2 years ago. Ever since that time, I have read some good ones and some bad ones and not being necessarily a fan of the kind - I feel my opinion is always objective when it comes to this kind of books. This one goes one level beyond standard sci-fi - being a military sci-fi novel that focuses on Spartan, a victorious inter-galactic warrior, and on his actions, life and challenges. Very detailed, very well structured, very outside of this world, and still easy to relate to - this novel is really one of the sci-fi stories that will be probably loved by fans and appreciated by those who simply love a good book and are not necessarily sci-fi fans.
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. This is not a "Book 1" of a series. It is about book 7, so don't start here. By Jeffrey W. McClure I have been reading military science fiction for over 50 years. For a reasonable part of that time I qualified as a commander of Armor, Armored Cavalry, Air Cavalry, Army Combat Aviation, and as an intelligence analyst. (Yes, I had entirely too much fun at Uncle Sam's expense!) Unfortunately, I cannot rate this novel other than two stars. My advice is to not buy this book unless you have read the preceding trilogy (which I have not). I put it down about a quarter way through the book because I had lost track of the host of characters and alien sets of beings brought to the stage, and the book was still explaining more of them! Unfortunately, the book is advertised as "Book 1" of a series. It clearly is a very late book in a very long series with references to things like "the twelve" without an explanation of what that means. If I am going to finish the book, I will need to first go back about three books and figure out what/who all the group and individual players are.

The Alliance won’t let him and neither will the bad guys! He’s always got to be in on the action or he gets real bored real quick. Although, after the last war with the Biomechs, Spartan is recovering from the loss of his Wife and Son. Surprising that that happened, but that’s war and Spartan could do nothing about it.He’s now being contacted by his old friend, Gen. Daniels and Colonel Black from Alliance Intel. They are wondering what Spartan and the CTC corporation are doing on the other side of the Black rift. It just so happens that Spartan is in the process of developing a new fighting tactic involving an Interstellar Assault Brigade. General Daniels just happens to mention to Spartan that there is a growing disturbance of the peace between the Byotai and the Anicinàbe. Apparently, the Byotai were happily occupying a planet which now the Anicinàbe want. The Anicinàbe are out to exterminate the otherwise peaceful Byotai. General Daniels goes on to tell Spartan that the Alliance can’t really do much about this squabble since they have to maintain the peace over a much vaster Alliance since the war was won.Spartan wants no part of this fight. He knows what Gen. Daniels is trying to do and although they are friends from way back, Spartan has no desire to fight right now. His friend, Kan, a BioMech turned good guy, can’t wait for his next battle. That’s what he was made for and he can’t stand just waiting around. Same goes for Olik, the other BioMech who I believe works with Gen. Daniels and the Intel Colonel, Colonel Black.So, Gen. Daniels goes off to help the Byotai defend themselves. He’s bringing in weapons they desperately need to fight back against the Anicinàbe. And of course, he gets captured. He’s not there representing the Alliance so they are not going to come rescue him. And, even worse, he has brought along and has been captured with, Gun, the BioMech Leader and Spartan’s best friend. So, who do you think is going to have to rescue these two?Right, Colonel Black immediately goes back to Spartan in the Black Rift and tells him what has happened. Time to kick some booty!This is another fighting mad story. There’s both the Naval battles and the ground fighting. Both types of fighting get very confusing. I would like to see this kind of story in a movie so I could better understand what’s happening. At times it sounds like Spartan, Gun, Khan and Olik all get shot so many times I don’t know how they are even standing. Of course they all usually wear some type of fantastic armor, which helps, but still it’s got to hurt.The writing gets fast and furious at the end. We meet some new characters that may be in the next book of the series, but I don’t think this series will ever end. Yes, Spartan is getting older, but he’s doesn’t seem to be slowing down much.A great read if you like Science Fiction battles, lots of blood and violent descriptions. Sounds like fun!
