Please, Please, Finish the series!

This is a good series. I enjoyed all three books in the series, even if it did take quite awhile for the third one to be published. The worst part to this series is not knowing if the author is ever going to finish it. We were left hanging at the end of the third book. I hate it when authors leave a series of books unfinished.

Still Waiting for Green to Finish

Perhaps if enough of us let him know, Roland Green will finish this series, or turn it over to someone who will! He has left other series unfinished as well, especially the Wandor series. Come on Roland, you are an excellent storyteller, and create wonderful characters. Can't you finish a series? I won't even start Peace Company, since I understand you haven't completed that series either.Otherwise, an excellent book, but you need to read the books in sequence to understand the background, and to understand why the characters make some of the choices they do. That's why Green is so good at character development, they act in a manner consistent with their backgrounds.

Fun, Fighting, and 70's style females again!

If you like Janissaries and Janissaries: Clan and Crown, you'll enjoy Storms of Victory. Things are getting closer to "The Time" and either destruction at the hands of the Shalnuksis and their human servants, or perhaps some alternate fate mediated by those same servants. It's fun, it's got long battle scenes, it's got Rick in trouble again and again, and a growing Wanax becoming quite a leader. The Romans are there too, and even a fairly high risk encounter with a safely fanatical (and therefore we know he is evil) religious leader. I kept hoping Jerry and friend would wrap this thing up in book III. Pity, they didn't! And now I see they've still not finished book IV. Pity. I first discovered books I and II some dozen years ago and enjoyed them immensely. Recent rediscovery was just as good as I remembered, even with the somewhat dated depiction of the main female characters. A very good read, especially for the war historians among us.
