Hold the line.

After narrowly defeating the invading enemy fleet, there is evidence that the attack isn’t over.

Thousands have died and all that stands between human extinction and the invaders are the remnants of the colonial military.

Connor must find a way to rally the colony using every scrap of ingenuity to stop the invaders. But will he succeed when he finds himself pitted against mankind’s ultimate enemy? This could be mankind’s final hour . . . or its greatest victory.

About the Author

I was born in Lindenhurst, New York in early 1974, where I grew up and didn't leave until I headed to college in North Carolina at UNCG. I've always liked making up stories whether I was a Viper pilot serving on board the Battlestar Galactica or a Jedi Knight in Star Wars, the stories were always with me.

Third book continues with General Connor and his fellow colonists as they fight for mankind struggle against the Venus who want to eliminate all humans. This is a well written sci-if series that I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Places at Once
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2021

Once again Lozito delights with an exciting "spaces battle" adventure that captures the reader, while at the same time, exploring some of the basic questions that we all face in life. How can a person be in two places at once? Is the military the best government or politicians or lawyers? What are the important things in life? I like that we have a true hero in this story. As with all heroes, they must battle with the demands of that calling and things that perhaps they would rather do. Also, as much as we may try to hide from those who would harm, steal, bully for power, or just plain hate for no other reason, they always seems to find us. A good story with strong characters and lots of imagination.

The books are good, although not ideally a trilogy probably two books as the first one was an introduction. Book 2 and 3 make up for book 1. The characterisation was a bit one dimensional throughout, the dialogue was stilted throughout. The author has a pretty good idea of what he needs to say in the story but has issues with dialogue between characters. He should consult with another writer about that issue or write stories that are essentially 'narrated'.

I have read the first 3 books of this series and thought the first and second books where good. Even with all the action in this 3rd book I paged some parts. I'm hoping book 4 will be the charm but we will see.

Space stuff is not generally something I find interesting or entertaining. Ken Lozito's First Colony series is definitely the exception. A truly engaging story which pulls you in to the life the characters live and the building of the community in which they thrive.

The characters are wonderful. The person that led the destruction of humans was not a surprise but left a question. I'm hoping it will be answered in the next book. How did her consciousness survive within the virus for so long? And what happened to Gibson? Although each book is a stand alone novel, you really need to read them in order.

Great characters, with most of their arcs from the first book ending in a very satisfying way.
Interesting world building, a lot more questions are brought up due to the 14th book.
Solid story, starts strong and only gets better. You can just read the first 3 books and be satisfied with story. with the ending feeling like a final episode of a tv show.

..... in deren Reihen ich mich nicht eingliedern kann.
Die Vorgeschichten, einigermassen lesbar......
Start mit "Genesis", einigermassen lesbar. Ein AntiTerrorProfi wird, um ihn von einer Anklage zu retten, heimlich in ein Siedlerschiff eingeschmuggelt. Angekommen, kann er sich mit seiner Erfahrung entfalten.

Weiter mit "Nemesis". Offensichtlich gibt es Verfolger in Richtung Neue Erde. Die Neusiedler aus dem SternenSchiff erschaffen in Windeseile Waffen, Raumschiffe, Raumstationen, Überwachungsnetz. Es kommt zu schwer überschaubaren Kämpfen.

Und dann das eigentliche "LEGACY". Die Verfolger sind eine überlegene Spezies, ankommend mit einem 20 Kilometer Durchmesser Sammelsurium an Raumschiffen, versehen mit Exosklett. Überlegene Technik und tödliche Waffen, die merkwürdigerweise wenig eingesetzt werden. Dafür unbegrenzt "manpower", Kämpfer im Hundertausenderpack, die nicht so leicht zu töten sind.
Die Siedler sind natürlich schlauer und hauen ordentliche Brechen. Aber die komplette Besetzung der Neuen Erde droht.
Ab dann wird es wie so oft ziemlich lächerlich, zuviel deus ex machina ....
Eine geheimnisvolle reaktivierte Superduperkanone feuert und versagt bald. Die Angreifer übernehmen Städte.
Ein Virus, sozusagen nebenbei gefunden, wird blitzschnell entwickelt zum Einsatz.
Eine tapfere Truppe, bewaffnet mit dem Virus, greift das 20 Km Monstrum an, ... und schafft es merkwürdigerweise ins Innere. Fast unbehelligt. Sie irren durch die angekoppelten Raumschiffe bis zum bösen, alles steuernden Superhirn der Aliens.
Konfuses Durcheinander ... und die Aliens fallen um wie die Fliegen: das freigesetzte Virus!
Als Einziger schafft es der Profi, die Attacken der Aliens zu überleben.

Nur weil diese drei Werke schon gekauft waren, hab ich weiter gelesen, zum Schluss quer überfliegend. So wird es wohl sein, dass ich eine Erklärung überlesen habe: warum macht sich eine Spezies im Millionenpack auf den Trip nach Neue Erde, auf die Spur der Siedler?
Kann auch sein, dass in einem Sequel des Rätsels Lösung kommt? Will es nicht wissen ......

Das Kapitel Ken Lozito ist für mich abgeschlossen. Er schafft es selten, Spannung aufzubauen und der Leser weiss zu oft, was kommen wird. Logik ist Mangelware, und das auch unter dem Deckmantel von scifi.

Musste eben feststellen, dass ich Nummer 4, "Sanctuary" tatsächlich schon heruntergeladen habe. Kein Problem, preiswerter Irrtum, wird sofort erased.

Massive strategies, battles and characters. A larger than life enemy that is ridiculously strange, relentless and with huge resources at its disposal. Courage, sacrifice, planning and teamwork all combine for the colonists to prove equal to the vicious assault. Losses heavy with some top people going down.

This is a great series for all sci fi officiandos; not so hi-tech that it leaves you feeling like you are trapped in a physics textbook but realistic enough to be believable. While sometimes a little sappy in its characterization and dialogue, its strength lies in the ‘end of the world, forging a new path’ story, which will keep you hungering for the next twist or turn.
