Men of War

The Lost Regiment, Book 8

By: William R. Forstchen

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor

It has been over a decade since Andrew Keane's Union regiment was mysteriously pulled away from the Civil War and marooned in time on a hostile alien planet. But now it appears as if everything the Lost Regiment has fought and died for has been in vain.

The unrelenting war against the hordes has taken its toll on the fatigued humans, and the Bantag horde's latest siege has broken the Republic's will to fight. Keane resigns his position in the Republic's government when a peace parley is declared. Gathering the remaining veterans of the 35th Maine to his side, he plans a campaign that will take the Lost Regiment into the heart of the Bantag Empire to annihilate their ability to wage war once and for all. The outcome of this suicide mission will decide the fate of the human race on a world far from Earth.

Critic reviews

"The Lost Regiment series moves like a bullet." ( Locus)

"One of the most intriguing writers today in the field of historical and military science fiction." (Harry Turtledove)

Loved it.

I have read the entire series and was looking forward to reading the final chapter on my down time from work rotation. Had to stay longer than anticipated and decided to read via Audible. Great Narrator and even better book.

great ending

what a great way to end the lost regiment series. really great story and worth the time

Excellent...

Loved it..you can feel the canons and hear the battle charge. Deserves a movie..Wow

warning

Book 8 is the best and a good ending. The warning Do not buy 9. There is no follow up to the next generation.

Was not disappointed, Great Addtion to the Series

Not every book in the series has been a solid addition, but this one stands out and brings to a close the story for the beloved characters. The end is both unexpected and thought provoking. I admire the strength of character Forstchen wrote into his characters and will miss them as book 9 moves on to focus on the children of the characters that this series has followed. Overall I highly recommend the series, though some of the books are not as good as others the series as whole was well written and well narrated.
