In the future,earth's warriors haveconquered the heavens.
But on a distant world,Humanity is in chains ...
Many millennia ago, the human race was enslaved by the An -- a fearsome alien people whose cruel empire once spanned the galaxies, until they were defeated and consigned to oblivion. But a research mission to the planet Ishtar has made a terrifying -- and fatal -- discovery: the Ahanu, ancestors of the former masters, live on, far from the reach of Earth -- born weapons and technology ... and tens of thousands of captive human souls still bow to their iron will. Now Earth's Interstellar Marine Expeditionary Unit must undertake a rescue operation as improbable as it is essential to humankind's future, embarking on a ten-year voyage to a hostile world to face an entrenched enemy driven by dreams of past glory and intent once more on domination. For those who, for countless generations, have known nothing but toil and subjugation must be granted, at all costs, the precious gift entitled to all of their star-traveling kind: freedom!

"Good continuation of the series. Marines go to Ishtar where we are introduced to the Anahu who came to Earth in the past and have taken some humans back to to Ishtar to be slaves. Marines battle Anahu's - Marines win - Anhaus forced into surrender." — Ralph (4 out of 5 stars)

" Really nicely polished characters. Felt true honor, glory, semper fi...That what's great is that from no where can come our greatest heroes... "
" good. Stargate meets Starship Troopers. "
" A mediocre follow up to his Heritage series. With touched up technology and new twist from the original story line, fighting that takes ten years to get to, this makes for a quick read but lacks substance. "
" This is pure candy. It's not particularly well written, but for the military scifi genre, it's fine. "
" Ian Douglas's writing style is amazing. I am always imersed in the world, I couldn't put this book down "
