Publisher Description
Prince Roger MacClintock, Tertiary Heir to the Throne of Man, was a spoiled rotten, arrogant, whiny, thoroughly useless young pain in the butt. But that was before an assassination attempt marooned the Royal Brat and his bodyguards on the planet Marduk, and before they had to march half way around the planet, through 120-degree heat and five-hour rainstorms in jungles full of damnbeasts, capetoads, killerpillars, and atul-grak, not to mention hostile peoples, to make their way back to port.
Under the right circumstances, even the most spoiled brat can grow up fast, and it turns out that, under his petulant exterior, Prince Roger is a true MacClintock, a scion of the warrior dynasty that created the Empire of Man. Now both Prince and bodyguards are determined to get each other off the planet alive. Of course, the planet has other ideas.

"Finally got around to finishing this book, the delay more my fault than the book's. Fairly enjoyable military science fiction with a trifle too much exposition between the battles. Which is to say, the exposition was necessary (and informative) but Ringo/Weber write action far better than they write exposition. Also, loads of Kipling references."
— Rebecca (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“[An] admirable continuation...The development of a Mardukan combined-arms force will fascinate sophisticated readers (the manual of arms for a four-armed, ten-foot soldier is a thing of beauty), while the overthrow of the Boman will grip straightforward action lovers in spite of the staggering body count.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“This fast-paced sequel to March Upcountry continues the odyssey of men and women caught in a struggle for survival and determined to maintain their courage and humor in the face of overwhelming odds. Coauthors Weber and Ringo excel in depicting the lives and times of soldiers both on and off the battlefield.”
— Library Journal

" This novel allows for the incomprehensibly arrogant view of mankind as superior while humbling mankind in courage. "
— T.L., 2/20/2014 -
" I like this story, but the author has a tendency to get bogged down in details of military stratagem and engineering of weapons and boats. "
— Jacki, 2/9/2014 -
" I am currently listening to this book. "
— Heather, 2/2/2014 -
" Good read without any liberal bashing. "
— Bill, 1/28/2014 -
" Book 2 in the series. "
— Craig, 1/21/2014 -
" I liked this book but it didn't have the same feeling for me that the first book in the series did. That was more of an adventure and this one didn't really have an adventure for me at all. So I'm a little disappointed in that. I will continue on to book number three but it won't be right away. "
— Wonderbunny, 1/9/2014 -
" This one dragged just a little. I like the military history/weaponry lessons, almost as much as I love the plot. "
— Sharra, 1/4/2014 -
" Interesting Sci-Fi Series. Take a spoiled prince and sabotage his ship. Land on a planet filled w/hostiles w/a squadron of elite guards and watch him grow up. "
— Michele, 12/22/2013 -
" Slower than the first book, but still a good yarn. Pretty bloody and gory, so if you have a week stomach, stay clear. "
— Kari, 12/19/2013 -
" While I do find this story compelling and would like to know exactly how it turns out, I find myself bogged down in all the battles so finally abasndoned it after reading about 150 pages. "
— Christine, 12/4/2013 -
" See review of March Upcountry "
— John, 11/26/2013 -
" A really fun series - military sci-fi and the fun of exploring a planet and meeting new allies! "
— Lori, 11/26/2013 -
" You need a big "fargin" wrench to pull me away from this series. (Read it and you'll know what I mean. "
— Ed, 8/27/2013 -
" Still goo9d but not as fresh and original as March Upcountry. A lot of plowing of previously plowed ground. "
— Ron, 8/13/2013 -
" After reading March Upcountry, I had to continue on with the tale. Thought this was a bit weaker than the first book, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Now I want to finish the trilogy. "
— Alpha, 5/31/2013 -
" This is a bit too detailed in terms of hard military for me; though I can see people who love that genre would love this book. I just got bored with so much of the book talking the details of military planning and not too much details about the characters/plot. "
— Sean, 1/25/2013 -
" Simply one of the greatest series out there, I've lost track of how many times I've read this series! I can only hope John Ringo and David Weber do continue with it. "
— Joshua, 11/29/2012 -
" Nothing original here just continuation of the first book. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it does get a bit old. Not sure if I care enough to continue to book 3. "
— Matthew, 10/12/2012 -
" You can feel a larger touch from David in this book over book 1. One of the best over all books I have read this year. "
— Na'roon, 10/11/2012 -
" If you have read "March Upcountry" this is more of the same and better. Military action, predatory animals, barbarian hordes and Prince Roger personal development. Recommended. "
— Thorn, 9/8/2012 -
" A good follow up to the first Prince Roger book. The characters continue to develop and the authors seem to take a perverse pleasure in making their way through numerous technological ages and advances in military science. A very enjoyable read. "
— Chompa, 6/16/2012 -
" An enjoyable sequel to March Upcountry, but not enough so to entice me into reading the next 5 books in the series. Others mileage may vary. "

" I liked this book better than the last... I like this Prince Roger better than the spoiled brat version. The Kick-ass, still flawed but getting better, Roger is much more fun to read about... :) "
— Greg, 4/17/2011 -
" Just started. Enjoyed the first one, hope this one is as good. "

— Chompa, 5/28/2010 -
" A spoiled prince and his bodyguards are stranded on a killer planet, and are trying to get home. Prince Roger is growing up, becoming a leader. More politics & large scale wars in this one. <br/>I loved it. A fun read. "
— Bryan457, 5/18/2010 -
" Also a good read, getting a little monotonous, but the main character, the prince. Feels like it's going to go on forever, kind of like the Voyager Star Trek series. <br/> <br/>Will they ever make it? Probably not, but there is a book three, so we'll see! "
