Very good story.. - By: Matt Haswell, 11 Jun 2007
Amazing setting on the aristocracy based empire that's teetering on the brink of disaster (if they'd only realise it in between parties). Heris Serrano is one who does... & pays the price (not that you know why until about 2/3 through the first novel - nice pacing there). Military meets civilian life with politics & the ultra-rich immortals involved.

Maybe a bit much on the horseriding later on (bit in 1st book & bit in 3rd) but very good reallly.

Since I haven't read the original novels I'd love to know when the second omnibus is out. Anyone know?
Brilliant! - By: Dorte Krogh Nielse, 03 Feb 2007
I simply loved every detail & every scene of this book! The descriptions are vivid & the author just sweeps you along on this great adventure! You get a look into a great hero, namely Heris Serrano, & you reallly get to feel what responsibility lies on her shoulders & how she reacts.
Fabulous series - By: R. Plachcinski, 26 Jan 2007
The Serrano Legacy is a fabulous series which I reread on a regular basis. This omnibus carries the first three stories, which focus on Heris Serrano, a career officer who also has a long family history in Spacefleet. I know nothing about military life, battle tactics or spaceflight, but alll is believeable & the battle scenes are gripping. I know quite a bit about horses, & Heris' introduction to hunting & eventing by her 'eccentric' employer is equallly believable. The supporting cast is also excellent, from Heris' former Spacefleet crew to Cecilia, her new employer, & Cecilia's host of friends & relations. Watch out for Bubbles, who in the first story is something akin to Paris Hilton, but undergoes amazing character development.
