The galaxy is spiraling into all-out war.

The Battle of Tarrago was just the beginning. Following Goth Sullus's ruthless onslaughts against the Republic, a desperate House of Reason searches for scapegoats—and finds one, deserving or not, in Commander Ellek Owens. His sentence is cruel, unjust—and final. Unless Victory Squad has anything to say about it.When Chhun undertakes a daring raid on the prison planet Herbeer to rescue his commander, Wraith's loyalties are put to the test, as he's forced to choose between his responsibilities to the Legion… and his responsibilities to his captured crew.Meanwhile, in the Umnar system, the soulless menace known as the Cybar seeks to break Prisma Maydoon—and set the stage for the total annihilation of not only the Republic, but all life in the galaxy.

Legionnaires past and present kick slaver butt!

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been a loyal fan of this series since the beginning, and for good reason...these authors do not disappoint. The sixth entry in the Galaxy's Edge series introduces several new characters, in settings that you don't expect. I really enjoyed the battles in this one; more superb Leej action, showing that a Legionnaire is more than just his armor. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll keep this short, but the consistency displayed by Legion members old and new is really cool. I look forward to seeing where this ultimately ends up, especially given the ending.
Thanks to the authors for more great entertainment!

I'm a Prisoner of this Series!

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017

POD - Prisoners of Darkness is simply another RTF (Read This First) book from the ever creative author duo of Nick Cole and Jason Anspach and the galaxy - our galaxy - is simply a much better place for it - especially if you enjoy super tense, edge of your, seat bitten nails Science Fiction.

Now, ff your anything like me you have dozens of must read books on your kindle or on your shelves or both, It doesn't matter... the Galactic Edge books are simply on the cutting edge of great storytelling and innovative world building on an Assimovian scale. They demand to be read first as the Galaxy they built slides ever deeper into chaos, war, intrigue, betrayal, revolution and possibly a life extinction event for all biological forms of life (is there any other?) in the Galaxy. But what's driving all this? Where is it originating from? And Why?

Great characters populate this series - especially in The Legion. But also the pirates, mercenaries, charlatans, scheming politicians, robots, AI's, a little girl, beautiful aliens, a murderous genocidal race of donkey type beings, spies, slave runners, holobots, rebels and rebel Generals, monsters of many types and so many more are weaved deftly into a story where you cannot safely predict what will happen next. All you can do is wait for the next book in the series and try to hold on.

The authors are planning 9 books in this series. With everything going on in this storyline.... I think they can go for many, many more. And I hope they do! I am clearly a Prisoner of this series and I don't want to be rescued....

Some fool gave the donkeys jetpacks

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

My favorite theme of Prisoners of Darkness is the contrast between Captains Chhun and Ford. Formerly teammates, and even friends, as the book progresses Chhun and Ford are revealed to have chosen different paths in life, even though they started in more or less the same place.

Either man could be called a hero, and in fact they both receive a commendation, the Order of the Centurion, normally awarded posthumously. Yet, they slowly realize that they no longer really know each other. Chhun has stayed on the well-trodden path, rising through the ranks of the Legion, doing his best to do his duty. Ford, as the deep-cover agent Aeson Keel, has spent so long playing the rogue that he has simply become one. Each one of them is a good man, yet they make each other extremely uncomfortable.

For the most part, they do both want the same things. Ford, as Keel, has developed quite a mercenary streak, but is still more loyal than the part he plays. Time and circumstances have created attachments to different things, which serve to pull the former comrades apart, but I'm guessing they will find they need each other again at some point.

Because the galaxy is falling apart. What looked like the Galactic Republic versus Goth Sullus' Empire is devolving into factions within each bloc jockeying for position, with a still unknown outside force manipulating events from a hidden redoubt. Two sides will rapidly become three or four simultaneously contesting for control of the galaxy.

And some fool gave the donkeys jetpacks. That's at least as bad of an idea as giving missiles AI.

Jailbreak!

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018

Goth Sullus has secured vital infrastructure in his last campaign, and though the heroism of Victory Company and their allies among the ragtag crew of the Indelible VI blunted that victory, the armada of this self-proclaimed emperor continues their assaults on Republic targets. Meanwhile, the corrupt politicians of the Republic, seeking a convenient scapegoat, decide Commander Owens as their sacrifice and cast him into the deepest, darkest, most brutal prison mine in the galaxy.

Victory Company must again step outside the law, to save their comrade and commander.

Meanwhile, more players are arising. In despiration, the Republic bearucrats have activated their secret weapon: a fully-automated fleet, operated by an experimental AI based on anicent alien technology. Unbeknownst to its creators, an AI that has gone insane and view all biological life as viable targets.

And to make matters worse, the fantatical Zhee see the opportunity to extend their claim on the fraying galaxy.

Prisoners of Darkness functions as a fine bridge or transition novel. While the main thrust of the plot is the raid on this hellish prison, the authors take the opportuntiy to lay the groundwork of several new subplots and advance others.

Finally, the book is worth reading for the chapter dealing with the Zhee alone. The authors do an amazing job fleshing out this ancient and virtuous culture, eager to share that culture with the wider galaxy, and I'm certain readers will enjoy seeing the leaders of the Republic partake in their ways.

Best Entry So Far

Reviewed in Australia on January 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

Each entry in this series raises the excellence bar. Do you like adventure? Military conflict? questions of honour and duty? then this is the series for you. It is what Starwars could and should have been but will never be especially after the Disney takeover. No preachy sermons just fast paced action. A three sided conflict, the Republic, the newly formed Empire and out on the rim the Cyber. An opponent both the Republic and Empire don't know about yet. Dark Ops, corrupt politicians *are there any other kind* and conflicted characters who know that the system is rotten to the core but who also know that the alternative is almost certainly worse. Dispersed throughout the main storyline we get glimpses of what is happening across the galactic stage, raids and skirmishes. Each entry in this series has had a tight release schedule that I appreciate. No waiting years to find out what will happen next.

It's a good book, but I felt like it's only there to set up the next book.

Reviewed in Australia on September 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is a little light on action, but continues the story quite well. If anything, this book feels like a fill-in for the next part of the story. it has to be there, because it sets things up to happen, but it's not a book full of action and daring deeds like the others have been (although the rescue of the Leejs on Herbeer kinda is)
The chess pieces are being moved around the board. Who knows just WHAT the next move is going to be??

Mispublication?

You buy the Kindle version of Prisoners of Darkness, and you get another copy of Sword of the Legion (but for the cover, OK). Brilliant.
