Hands down the best book in the GE Universe

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020

Perfect!! Hands down the best book in the series. One thing that hit me after reading this book, and comparing it to that other formerly great far away galaxy series, is so many characters I want to know more about from the GE universe. There are maybe a handful of characters from that series that I'd care to know more about. in the GE universe it is dozens. l want more Crometheus, Puncher and Baldur, Sgt. Fast (what did he see before he was soldiering), Masters, Twenties (please go back in time and give us more Twenties), Ravi, Wraith (which I know we are going to get!!!!), and many more. After the ending of The Hundred I cannot wait to see where the story picks up. I mean WTH guys?!?! Ultimate cliffhanger.

Basis of future history helps to understand refs in other books in series

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020

There was plenty of action with good detail. Scene settings made it easy to see the action in the minds eye. The writing was fast paced and clear and exciting. This is a necessary foundation for further reading in all the other books.

Rechs and Sullus lead 100 in ultimate battle with the Savages

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020

Anspach and Cole have woven, what could be considered a side-story/prequel look into the past of the Legionnaires made famous in their first Galaxy's Edge book, into the fabric of what will forever be part of the GE Canon. "The Hundred" grabs strands from throughout their overall series while creating an exciting military sci-fi story worthy of heroic praise for its relation to Greek mythology. Tyrus Rechs' vow to avenge those on New Vega, taken hostage by the Savages - humans who've evolved, or devolved, into horrific and bizarre beings, comes to fruition as he and just 100 members of the newly-formed Legion, separate from the United Worlds, return, guns blazing. Admiral Sullus does his part to lead a ragtag navy above the battle-riddled world. None of it is "sanctioned" but it's necessary if the galaxy is to be free of the evils the Savages have created in their pursuit of total domination and genocide of anyone unwilling to submit.

For anyone who has read Galaxy's Edge books, "The Hundred" will reward you with some very satisfying answers to questions that have popped up throughout the series... and may just get you to go back and revisit those stories again. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the Galaxy's Edge series, this book is like a wrap-up in a three-point trilogy that is Savage Wars and will introduce you to characters that are pivotal to the entire series.

I expect new fans of the GE series after this!

The turning point of the GE verse

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020

The Battle to liberate New Vega begins, and the first hundred Legion are on the front lines.

The first battle of the Legion has been built up over the course of the books and the writers deliver, with an extended battle against the worst abominations that humanity can conceive of. While the ending is known to anyone who's a fan of the books, Cole and Anspach give the narrative added levels by creating a 'historic' feel to this fight and its impact on the galaxy, complete with profiles and narratives of the major players and the unsung heroes, and there are some twists at the end that GE readers will quickly note as having importance in the main storyline.

The overall feel is like something out of D-Day or the Battle of Briton and I'm certain the writers must have looked over real war journals and letters to craft this capstone to the Savage Wars trilogy. Not to be missed.

One of the best sci-fi stories ever written

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

I was locked in to this book from start to finish. This is the best sci-fi story I have ever read. I am currently reading five different series to include Galaxys Edge and I hope the authors choose to continue this series. Early in the Savage wars series there was a bump in the road with some extremely repetitive Savage soldier back story but this book not only stepped up from the others it is a must read for any Galaxys Edge fan. I have never read a book where I rooted for the characters to this level or was so on the edge of my seat. I obviously know how the story had to end in order for Galaxys Edge to have occurred but I found myself doubting that outcome and formulating strategies I thought the teams could use to win!!

Maybe the best one yet

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

I've come somewhat late to the Galaxy's Edge and just finished the Savage Wars trilogy. 'The Hundred' is quite different that many of the books in the series but that different point of view during half of the book helped to make it one of my favorites. I would also recommend Doc Spear's 'Dark Operator' series for anyone who is interested in realistic SpecOps in Galay's Edge universe. Excellent books from character arc to pacing, all well worth reading and if you have the time, listen to them on audible.

Gripping and surprisingly emotional.

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

As harsh as I was for Gods & Legionnaires, I can definitively say this book is a complete 180. Usually a good book can provoke strong and varied emotions throughout, and even bring some to tears at the end, but The Hundred may possibly have brought some tears to my eyes in the prologue. Extremely well-written; the action doesn't let up for a moment. Masterfully executed tale of sacrifice and triumph.

Interesting but just that.

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

It was an interesting view of what happened, but it seemed to lack a lot of the personal details from prior novels. While the ending was adequate, I feel it was rather abruptly wrapped up. Not a bad read, but not the best in the series.

I love this series and everything from Galaxy's Edge ( except for The Best of Us, haven't finished it...). The scenario is highly improbable but its a fantasy so, ya. Great story and characters made believable. Non-stop action, fast-paced, and a great ride of a story.
