A fragile truce hides a deadly deceit.

INCLUDES THE COMPLETE LEGACY OF WAR SERIES PLUS A SNEAK PEEK AT THE NEW SERIES!

A century ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. After decades of bitter war, a truce was struck. The aliens disappeared. Humanity stood down.

But the captain of the aging battleship Walker Pierce will never forget.

He has spent the last months in disputed space, against the wishes of his superiors and many of his weary crew, looking for proof of alien treachery and afraid of what he might find.

Because this time, if the aliens attack, humanity won't be so lucky.

Legacy of War is an enthralling tale of humanity on the edges of the unknown, perfect for fans of Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet and David Weber’s Honorverse.

Includes all 3 books in the series:
  • First Encounter
  • Enemy Lines
  • Invasion Force

Five star reviews for First Encounter, book 1 in the series:

★★★★★ "Action from the beginning to the end. I could not put it down!"

★★★★★ "Great start to a military space opera."

★★★★★ "Good plot, believable characters. Lots of action. ... A binge worthy series."

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Joshua James followed an unusual path to arrive here (i.e. writing in third person about himself in an author biography). He has worked as both an accountant and a graphic artist. Before either of those pursuits, he submitted a string of short stories to Analog, Asimov's, F&SF and Interzone. He even got a couple published. But finding an agent and writing on spec dampened his enthusiasm. Still, his childhood love for Robotech and ST:TNG meant he could never truly ignore his geek side (and also meant he wrote Star Trek/Robotech crossover fan fiction--yes, that's a thing). He has written or co-written more than 50 novels. They all involve spaceships. Joshua lives outside Washington D.C. with his family.

    I grew up on a steady diet of Star Trek and Star Wars. My stories evoke my love for those kinds of space opera tales mixed with a healthy dose of action. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them! Join my newsletter, Captain's Log, and get a free book of short stories by visiting BookHip.com/BRQVBF

This 3 book series was a fun read and rolled along from action to action teaching that humans tenacity and resourcefulness has no bounds. And when facing the enemy of my enemy humans will survive.

This was quite a good series, humans fighting humans, the destruction or an old starcruiser. Many great characters, multiple disappointing losses. Jax Erdu, an alien of royal lineage, battles an evil General. Will humans join with the Erdu, a shapeshifter and his rebel alliance, or lose trust. Great read

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021

Enjoyed it but it posed a couple frustrations.

It is played out like a movie so you switch gears a lot. One moment something is getting pulverized and about to die and then you cut over to a calm discussion of the players acting like they had all the world. Jolting to me.

Second, I know this is science fiction but it too convenient of a writing device to give the bad guy the ability to shape-shift. That ship getting pulverized? No, it's not filled with good guys after all...that kind of thing.

Last, you know who is going to get killed off because you learn little about them. For that matter, you get some backstory on the main characters and some of the dialogue is witty enough to show some of their personality but by and large, the characters are standard Hollywood stereotypes that you never get to know and that causes the reader to lose attachment to the characters...kind of like, oh, they died.

Still, it kept me entertained and from bouncing off my sanitized walls.

Skim over some areas that are very detailed in description. The scene or character descriptions can get quite wordy. It was mostly interesting.

This is a short series with all the action, suspense and turns and twists of one 3 times it's length. A single old spaceship on the boundary between the human and the aliens they are fighting, is all that stands between victory and defeat! Highly recommended for all ages.
