Union Forever

The Lost Regiment, Book 2

By: William R. Forstchen

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor

Colonel Andrew Keane and his blue-coated soldiers were not the first humans time-space-warped to a world so familiar yet so foreign. Humans abounded on the perverse planet-humans treated like cattle by the alien warrior overlords. Keane's Civil War weaponry defeated the swords, spears and crossbows of his monstrous adversaries. And part of the human population was freed, but the other part became puppets of the overlords in a vast counterattack. Now it was human vs. human, gun vs. gun, ironclad against ironclad, as the empires of Roum and Cartha clashed in gut-wrenching, soul-stirring struggle for the future of a world beyond time.

Seemed to take forever

Would you try another book from William R. Forstchen and/or Patrick Lawlor?

I might but in print only

Has Union Forever turned you off from other books in this genre?

No it has not

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Patrick Lawlor?

I have no alternative readers name in mind

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Maybe

Any additional comments?

I just couldn't get into it because of the tone quality of the reader. He read well but sounded so tinny and unauthoritive. Like a soprano male voice

Slow start.

The first 4 hours were very drawn out. I started and stopped 4 times before I made it through to the 5th hour. The last portion was exciting and it had a good finish.

Awesome Series...

I've read the series twice & listened to the Series on Audible 3 times. I only wish "someone" would finish the series. That said even though it's highly unlikely that there'll be a book 10 I still think the this entire series is definitely worth a listen/read.

Awesome..I recommend the entire series....but I did not enjoy the last one

Magnificent!! Well written and read. Keep em coming Sir. Mix of Science Fiction and History
Nuff said

Good Sequel

I own the whole 9 book series. Was glad to find it on Audible. It has been over a decade since I had read it last. Great characters. The narrator is worth his weight in literal wealth. Voice variety kept the characters apart. I wish that Audible had the whole 9 books available. I'll be happy wit whatever they do have.

Iron class and Trains.

This is a fast paced second book. The story is great and interesting. Must start the third book.

Clashes of Manifest Destiny...

With the Tugars defeated in the last book, the transplanted Americans and their Russian allies have to face a new threat; their Merki rivals. This time however, the threat is increased by a deserting traitor collaborating with the alien horde, as well as enslaved Carthaginians being forced to aid in the innovation of modern warfare. To even the odds, the Americans attempt to ally with transplanted Romans, who are iffy on the idea of abolishing slavery. This book is the first to spark off the next portion of the the story, which spans over books 2-4. As a continuation I think it holds up well. We get further expansion on the various characters, both human and alien. The characterization of the American traitor was particularly enlightening, since in the first book we're left to believe he's just a jerk who wants to be in control. Overall, a great next addition for the series.

This Review Needs a Title....

Not as good as book one as the Union soldiers stranded on a strange planet are betrayed by one of their own, need to develop fighting ships and have to form an alliance with other displaced people from history.. Quite a slow book, following on from Rally Cry--it goes 19 hours, quite a long commitment. I wonder if the story is going anywhere in the nine book series...or just same-same?

So. Many. Dead.

I could hardly put it down, even though it's almost depressing with how much adversity there is.
Amazing book, get it if you liked the first one.

Last Two Chapters

The last two chapters were edge of your seat non stop action. Overall, an excellent story and entertaining sequel. I plan to buy book three!
