Kurzbeschreibung
For really tough jobs, Emperor Colin, the first of that name, is your man. The only person in the galaxy ever to stop the genocidal Achuutani, he went on from there to resurrect an empire that died fourty-five thousand years ago. He's still got a few problems - like a traitor out to murder him and three-quarters of a billion of his subjects - but if anyone can handle the job, it's Colin. But the rest of the galaxy better brace itself, because his progeny are on the way. Not that Sean and Harriet aren't nice kids; it's just that they've had a bad day.They're a long way from home, marooned with a blown up starship that's left them stranded on a theocratic world of gun powder and pikes, and Mother Church of that world doesn't like them very much. In fact, she's declared them demons, proclaimed Holy War, marshalled the Holy Host, and ordered them exterminated. You might think that things look pretty bleak for the kids, but in reality it's Mother Church that's in trouble - because Sean and Harry are chips off the old block - and they're about to get angry...

Format:Taschenbuch
The two Dahak books that preceded this novel were very good works of fiction and this title is no exception. The first book was Mutineers' Moon; the second book was The Armageddon Inheritance. Heirs of Empire is the third book so far in this series.
This book takes place ten years after the events that conclude The Armageddon Inheritance. The Achuutani have been repulsed and a small portion of them even become allies of sorts. Humanity is now residing on two worlds, Earth and the old Imperial capitol planet. Colin and his Empress wife have two children who are teenagers just approaching adulthood.
Everyone thought that after the defeat of Anu and his mutineers that humanity would rally around the new Emperor, Colin, and build a brighter future and prepare for the final conflict with the Achuutani. If anything the trouble is worse then before. The threat this time is not as strong or as brazen but it is unknown. A threat unknown is deadly indeed. I really can't say a whole lot more with out giving too much of the plot away. I will say that the story is split and written from two points of view. One story relates events on Earth and the Imperial Capitol. The second story line follows Colins' children and their friends. The children are probably a bigger part of this book then Colin and the traditional cast of characters.
A good book. Of the three books in this series thus far this was my least favorite. I am firmly convinced, after reading a great deal of Mr. Webers' work, that David Weber writes best when he is tight and careful with his word count. I think the longer books of his are a little sloppy. Don't misunderstand me. I am a big fan and love this book and only find fault with it when I compare it the first two books of this series. A worthy continuation to the saga.

I really enjoyed the book and hope he writes another one fairly quick for both this one and the Honor Harrington series. Great author.
Format:Taschenbuch
While I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Weber's continuation of the Mutineers Moon story, I was surprised by the different battle theme this story took. I was expecting more intense space battles, but really enjoyed the pikes and muskets used by Colin's children in their quest.I sincerely hope Mr. Weber makes a sequel to this story in which the Achuultani are fought on their on turf.

Best technology/gunpowder writer since H. Beam Piper.
It really takes a good author to handle the mixing of a gunpowder theocracy and futuristic science, but here it has been handled with class amd comes off with a genuine 5-star... Lesen Sie weiter...

Another great story from David Weber!!!
This book is awesome. You get a really good feel for the kid's characters, but I would like to read more about Harry. I expected her to play a bigger role in the story. Lesen Sie weiter...

GREAT BOOK

Exciting, intoxicating and difficult at best to put down.
I have loved this 3 book series, and they are not only worth reading, but worth owning as well. These is non-stop sci-fi action at its very best. Lesen Sie weiter...

It is a great read, I hated to put it down!
Having two MacIntyre's in one Universe is just too much for any bad guys. In this adventure you will find that both Colin and his son Sean are too hot to handle. Lesen Sie weiter...

With the Achuultani halted, it's time for some R and R...
Or so everyone thought. With Emperor Colin I and his wife Jiltanith's children off to Acadamy and the Empire running smoothly, all was going well. Lesen Sie weiter...

The third in a great series
The saga that started with Mutineer's Moon continues and I found the book to be a page turner. Treason, war and revenge in one book but not on one world. Lesen Sie weiter...

An excellent book, good moral dilemma
This series started out as ok/good space opera, and has moved on to something much better. I won't give away the plot, but there is a very real moral dilemma where the characters... Lesen Sie weiter...
