Prince Roger MacClintock was heir to the galaxy’s Throne of Man and a spoiled young brat—that is, until he and his Royal Marines were stranded on the barbarian planet Marduk. So far, they’ve traversed a continent, taken over an enemy spaceport, and hijacked a starship. But they’re not home free yet—because home is no longer free.
Traitors have murdered Prince Roger’s brother and sister. His mother, the empress, is still alive, but in the hands of Roger’s own biological father, who controls her through drugs and torture. A new heir to the throne has been conceived, and once he is born, Roger’s mother will no longer be necessary to the traitors’ plans. Prince Roger must somehow retake the empire before his new brother is born and his mother dies. It’s an impossible task—but Prince Roger knows all about impossible tasks.

"Supposedly the last in the series. Have not seen any additonal on a list. But, still a great read. Author did not lose site of overall objectives in the series, even though numerous characters were lost with time. Good read. Highly recommended." — Max (5 out of 5 stars)

“[A] thoroughly satisfactory fourth and final installment…Whereas the first three volumes dealt with how the humans adapted to conditions on Marduk, this book shows how the alien Mardukians cope with human society, often with humorous results.”
“Weber and Ringo excel!”
" Prince Roger and his allies battle to save his mother and the Empire of Man on Old Earth. Good finish to the series. "
" Thoroughly enjoyed. Pity they aren't continuing the story, there are scores still to settle. "
" The cover art could have been better. And I thought the ending was rather abrupt. But otherwise this is a very good book and an excellent end to the story started in March Upcountry "
" Interesting conclusion to the series. I thought the first half of the book was better than the second half, but it ends well enough. "
" Actually, pretty good. The change of venue does a great deal to correct my burgeoning almost-boredom with the series. "
" Where is the REST??? It fininshed up rather quickly and I am finding myself looking for more.... It was a good story about a spoiled prince growing up and how he takes back the thrown. BUT i'd like to know how he builds back his empire! "
" The book in the King Roger series that I keep coming back to. We get see Roger save his kingdom from the usurper and find out some hard truths. Great action and good characterization. "
" I liked it more than I should. "
" Can't wait for more adventures of Prince Roger & his friends... "
" A completely different book from the rest of the series, this is an equally detailed conclusion to the story line. "
" A solid ending to the series. A bit too much space battle for my liking, but well done none the less. "
" I got a slew of David Weber books for free. None of them are worth much but if you read enough of them they get under your skin and you want more. "
" A tiny bit too much starship fighting at the end, but a damn satisfying book and a good end to the series. "
" Finale of the Empire of Man series - good read - exciting as always - must read the series in order "
" As with all of the books in this series, I am currently listening to the audio book. "
" Now I have to go back and read the three previous books. "
" Series of four that is really good action sci fi! "
" It was pretty good. I mostly read it just to finish the series. It was pretty predictible and alot of plot points worked out very conveniently but not a bad book. "
" Another great book. It finishes the story the way you would expect. However, it is still left open enought that the authors can come back to it. I enjoyed it. "
" Action-packed, introspective, and realistic. Incredible end to a great series, and one of the best studies of the costs of leadership I've read. "
" 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. "
" Book 4 in the "March..." series. Off planet for the most part, so not quite the culture-clash of the others, but a good finish. "
" I kept getting lost in the space battles or setup for a space battle. I'd have to break out the graph paper to keep up. Whenever the shooting started, I'd have to read a few paragraphs to figure out for whom I should be rooting. "
" Great conclusion to this series. "
" Another great book in the series. This one is much more "sci-fi" than the rest with much more focus on space battles, etc.I really hope there's more books in this series in the future... "
" 4th in one of my all time favorite series. Prince Roger gets home but you'll have to decide if it's a "happy" ending. "
" A spoiled prince and his bodyguards are stranded on a killer planet, and are trying to get home. Prince Roger has grown into a great leader. A great conclusion to the series. I loved it. A fun read. "
" A nice close to the Empire of Man series, while leaving enough open threads for later continuation. "
" Loved it. Reenforced how very important to us all the "Few" who protect, even though in a sci fi book. "
