Commentary Conducive To Books Empire From the Ashes (Dahak #1-3)
4.5 stars. The Dahak trilogy, which includes Mutineers' Moon, The Armageddon Inheritance and Heirs of Empire is superb military space opera. I believe it belongs on the "must read" list of all fans of the genre. One thing I found that set this apart from typical "military" based science fiction is the development of the main characters and the focus on their relationships and how much they respect and care for each other. I especially liked the growth of the relationship between Colin McIntyre (the main character) and Dahak (the sentient spaceship he commands). Therefore, don't let the military tag turn you off if you don't typically read that sub-genre as this is high quality science fiction. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!Rating Of Books Empire From the Ashes (Dahak #1-3)

Not sure who the narrator for the audio book was, but he was the worst one I've ever listened to. I'm sure that tainted my rating.Oh my this book seems so much longer than it actually is, wow. It's still good though :).
Should have been a duology.First two books in the trilogy were solid 4 stars, but the third brings it down. First two books are solid sci-fi adventure, following an over-arcing plot of rediscovery and alien menace. Third book is patch on, mix of political spy-stuff and alternate universe black-powder warfare, connected by characters to the first two books but not related to the original plot. Basic premise of the black-powder plot section broke my suspension of disbelief and I never got past
Wow.....just wowI cant tell you how many times I have re-read this story and each and every time I do I try to turn the page one more time. From the feeling of the sheer amount of time that this story encompasses, to the battles that had me scrolling faster and faster (in this electronic version) to the sheer amount of emotions you go through in the book as you turn (or scroll) the pages. This is the type of story I aspire to someday write myself.
Meh. Am I getting too picky? I don't know. Just felt a bit daft. Gave up.
One of my top picks in Sci-fi.I have just had the pleasure of re-reading this great sci-fi trilogy for the fourth time. As you can see that this is my top favorite sci-fi pick and I get this urge every few years to renew my acquaintance with these distinctive friends of mine. This is the perfect blend of ancient aliens, hollow moon, conspiracy theories all rolled into a absolutely great story. There's danger, military maneuvers, spacecraft, some romance, terrible sacrifices and people you will
Some folks think of epic space opera and say, why? Others day, "Hey, maybe the Moon is actually a massive abandoned space battleship and the human race was founded by its mutinous crew tens of thousands of years ago" and say, why not?An omnibus of Weber's earliest solo series (Mutineer's Moon in 1991, followed by The Armageddon Inheritance in 1994 and Heirs of Empire in 1996), the tale is a bit more roughly-hewn than his later works. MM, the earliest, is the most straightforward, establishing
