Esther and Noah Lysander are the twin children of General Ryck Lysander, Commandant of the Marine Corps, leader of the Evolution, and Chairman of the Federation. Told that their father and mother have been assassinated, they are both devastated. Cut adrift, they each decide to enlist in the Corps—but for different reasons. Esther feels it is her duty to carry on the family legacy, confident that she can excel and reach the top. Noah simply wants to earn his father’s pride, even if it is too late.

This omnibus volume contains all five books in the series:

Book 1: Legacy Marines
Book 2: Esther’s Story: Recon Marine
Book 3: Noah’s Story: Marine Tanker
Book 4: Esther’s Story: Special Duty
Book 5: Blood United

Serving under the shadow of their father, the twins must find their own way, and in the process, learn what it means to be a Federation Marine.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

I am a retired Marine infantry colonel and now a full-time writer living in North Las Vegas, Nevada with my wife Kiwi and twin baby girls, Danika Dawn and Darika Marie.

I published my first work back in 1978, a so-so short story titled "Secession." Since then, I have been published in newspapers, magazines, and in book format in fiction, political science, business, military, sports, race relations, and personal relations fields. I returned to writing fiction in 2009, and I currently have over 75 titles published, 44 being novels. My novelette, "Weaponized Math," was a finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award, "Fire Ant" was a finalist for the 2018 Nebula Award for Best Novella, and "Integration" was a finalist for the 2018 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel.

My undergraduate degree was earned at the U. S. Naval Academy (Class of 1979), and I have attended graduate school at U. S. International University and the University of California, San Diego, earning a masters and doctorate. I am a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the US. Naval Academy Alumni Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America where I'm serving as the chairman of SFWA Ed, our professional education program.

I have rather eclectic tastes. I have won awards in photography, cooking, writing, and several sports, earning national championships in rugby and equestrian events. When I'm not writing, I'm reading, cooking, going to the gym, or traveling. I attend quite a few cons over the course of a year, and love meeting other people who love books.

I write because I love it. I only hope that others might read my work and get a bit of enjoyment or useful information out of my efforts.

The twins in battle together

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

The Lysander twins, children of Ryck Lysander, Commandant of the Federation Marines, are very different in some ways— Esther is driven to succeed at everything her father did, to be awarded the Federation’s Nova medal (the equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honor), and to rise to the rank of Commandant of the Corps. Her brother Noah, while also a Marine, was happy to remain in the enlisted ranks as a tanker, good stand enjoying his job.

Less good, albeit realistic, was the effect on his marriage— deployments and unaccompanied tours are rough on marriages, in reality as well as here in fiction.

When Esther was given command of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, 3d Marine Division, its sergeant major had just retired, and she knew just who she wanted as a replacement— her twin, now a first sergeant. That created some issues, both because of their relationship and because he wasn’t a sergeant major and wouldn’t be for some years. She insisted and pulled some strings, and got her way.

The result was their serving together as battalion was sent into one of the bloodiest battles in two centuries of Marine history.

I am thankful the Coronal has taken up writing. His novels have held me spellbound throughout every one I've read! Actually sorry I've finished this series! I'm running out of "Brazee" series!
Great stories about a great fighting force!

This saga kept my interest from page to page, the twins story was well intertwined and played very good into their respective personalities. I enjoyed the Marine structure of the story and obviously was disappointed to see the end of the book

Action packed and well crafted series. Each episode builds on the Lysander legacy. It’s fun watching both siblings grow and mature, a great read.

Five novels in one volume

These stories describe the careers of Noah and Esther starting with their early days in the Corps. All the stories have interesting plots and settings. A great read.

The twins developed, grew, and had real life set backs. However some the tech descriptions did fit. If you can slow or speed up worlds by terraforming, the tech of your equipment should be higher.

Good series with some flaws.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021

The first book seemed more YA than an adult novel. I'm not adverse to cursing in a book, but that in the first volume seemed out of place with the rest of the series. There was a LOT of emphasis put on Noah's relationship and marriage and next to none on Esther's. It just showed up as a done deal. This lacked balance. For such a long series, I would have liked more emphasis on character development--there was some--and less on warfare, but that is just me. The major flaw in the series was all of the errors--and there were a LOT of them. YES, I know I'm putting LOT in all caps. However, when the author thanks the editors (which is highly appropriate) I wish there had been some decent editing. There were not enough errors to stop me from reading the books, but at times, it was very close. Yes, there are words that are pronounced the same that are spelled differently.....or they should be.

Gripping ending!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have read all the UFMC books thus far and really enjoyed them. Not having been in the US military, but having worked alongside former (never ‘ex’) Marines, I loved the story telling. Clearly based on recent times and Jonathan’s own service, the books are a collection of battle tales woven together with the Lysander family story. I won’t spoil the ending of book 5, but it kept me on tenterhooks! Enjoy!

I was trapped in the life stories of the Lysander Twins. The brother sister relationship and interaction. What shone through was the comradeship that comes from serving and fighting as a unit.
I absolutely recommend all the Lysander books having now read them all.
