I need atleast 16 more books in this series。 I first started reading this series a few years back when there were only the first 3 available。 I recently picked the series back up for a re-read and found there were 15 of them。 By the time I got to number 14， there was a 16th。I couldn't believe my good fortune。 I've been reading them non stop for weeks。 Now that I finished the 16th book I'm having withdrawals， but I may have to start from the beginning again soon as I wait for more。 The shenanigan I need atleast 16 more books in this series。 I first started reading this series a few years back when there were only the first 3 available。 I recently picked the series back up for a re-read and found there were 15 of them。 By the time I got to number 14， there was a 16th。I couldn't believe my good fortune。 I've been reading them non stop for weeks。 Now that I finished the 16th book I'm having withdrawals， but I may have to start from the beginning again soon as I wait for more。 The shenanigans of James McGill get stuck in your head and the only fix is to keep reading。I sure look forward to the future of this series and will now try the other series by Mr B。 V。 Larson。 。。。more

Watch out！ When upu start this series， you can't stop till the last book is devoured。The main character is a bullying womanizing bafoon， and yet you can't fault his logic even once。 Interesting writing style， but very enjoyable。 Watch out！ When upu start this series， you can't stop till the last book is devoured。The main character is a bullying womanizing bafoon， and yet you can't fault his logic even once。 Interesting writing style， but very enjoyable。 。。。more

ExellentThis series is my favorite 。 I laugh and chuckle all through the books。 For you readers who like this kind of sci fi check out Omega Force by Joshua Dallazell also while waiting for B。V to write the next awesome book。 Omega Force has a great lead like old James McGill。

B V Larson's best book yet。The undying mercenaries series can be hit or miss in comparison to itself。 All books in the series are at least 4 out of 5， but this so far has been easily my favorite of the lot。 Keep them coming Mr Larson。 I'll buy the next one as well。 B V Larson's best book yet。The undying mercenaries series can be hit or miss in comparison to itself。 All books in the series are at least 4 out of 5， but this so far has been easily my favorite of the lot。 Keep them coming Mr Larson。 I'll buy the next one as well。 。。。more

Romantic Hearts of Cold IceHeh。 Heh。 Pretty good sequel though the tale is tainted by a background idea of true romance developing in the main lust relationship。 The plot is a bit more coherent and sophisticated than normal as well。。。but not much。 Still its an accomplishment of consistency that many authors failed to achieve。 Though many series start off as more impressive stories， most authors rapidly lose steam after the 5th in series - usually both in terms of ideas and personal interest cont Romantic Hearts of Cold IceHeh。 Heh。 Pretty good sequel though the tale is tainted by a background idea of true romance developing in the main lust relationship。 The plot is a bit more coherent and sophisticated than normal as well。。。but not much。 Still its an accomplishment of consistency that many authors failed to achieve。 Though many series start off as more impressive stories， most authors rapidly lose steam after the 5th in series - usually both in terms of ideas and personal interest continuing any main characters or institutions。 Almost all the rest of the authors suffer similar steep drops in quality after eight in series。 So while this series might not reach the rarified initial heights of quality of other works except in low gallows humor and brute violence - it is among the mere handful that is still worth reading after more than a dozen releases and still centering on the original cast of characters。 。。。more

Even though there is a real thread in this 16th installment of McGill's adventures， and a real evolution of his relationship with Galina Turov， the tale is too rambling to be really interesting。The tone changes from one chapter to another， some developments （Grave's reactions， for example） lack credibility。The end is particularly failed and implausible。In short， the series is experiencing a real slack。 It is urgent to conclude it or to give it new impetus。 Even though there is a real thread in this 16th installment of McGill's adventures， and a real evolution of his relationship with Galina Turov， the tale is too rambling to be really interesting。The tone changes from one chapter to another， some developments （Grave's reactions， for example） lack credibility。The end is particularly failed and implausible。In short， the series is experiencing a real slack。 It is urgent to conclude it or to give it new impetus。 。。。more

Better than the last。。。but still a bit of a let down。I initially rated this 4 stars， but wound up dropping it to 3 stars after giving it a bit more thought。 On the one hand， it was actually quite a bit better than the last book。 On the other hand， there were still some issues with this one， that carried over somewhat from the last。 The overarching plot thread the author seems to be trying for is becoming confusing at best， and some of the "sub-plots" in this book seemed to just pop up out of now Better than the last。。。but still a bit of a let down。I initially rated this 4 stars， but wound up dropping it to 3 stars after giving it a bit more thought。 On the one hand， it was actually quite a bit better than the last book。 On the other hand， there were still some issues with this one， that carried over somewhat from the last。 The overarching plot thread the author seems to be trying for is becoming confusing at best， and some of the "sub-plots" in this book seemed to just pop up out of nowhere and didn't really make much sense （nor did their resolutions， if that's what they could be called）。As to the plot of this individual story。。。well。。。as with the last book， it seems like many things just kind of get wrapped up with little or no explanation， they "just happen。" McGill pulls a fast one， which we expect by this point; however， unlike earlier books， there's little explanation after the fact as to HOW he pulled it off。I enjoy this series b/c it's usually fun， and make for quick， light reads。 That said， the quality of the stories has definitely gone downhill the past two books， and these are becoming less fun to read。 。。。more

McGill！！This is my favorite series， i have been hooked since the first sentence of book 1。 Larson catches the camaraderie and humor of the modern military and brings it into Legion Varus。 The characters are well written and you feel like you are right there with them。 Can't wait to see where they go from here！ McGill！！This is my favorite series， i have been hooked since the first sentence of book 1。 Larson catches the camaraderie and humor of the modern military and brings it into Legion Varus。 The characters are well written and you feel like you are right there with them。 Can't wait to see where they go from here！ 。。。more

Ice World is a fun read; similar to the other books in the series。 More hijinks with Claver and the rest of the gang。But I think it is wearing a little bit thin now。 I guess B V Larson is aware of it too and is definitely planning to shake things up。 There were quite a few hints in this book about where McGill is headed and if it pans out， that will put a new spin on things。Conclusion - if you liked the other books in the series， you will like this one too。

Always a great read！I’ve never been disappointed with the exploits of James McGill。 Just when I think he’s done and died for just about everything， I get delighted with a new exploit of his。

If you are reading this book， you must certainly know that it's about the exploits of one Legionnaire named James McGill。 He's legendary as he's known by quite a number of galactic alien species and is definitely a mystery to both these aliens and the humans who work with him daily。 This books starts off pretty easily in that McGill and Legion Varus isn't activated yet so he's kind of on his own time。 That's when one of his Legion buddies， Carlos， makes an appearance at James' sack in rural Geor If you are reading this book， you must certainly know that it's about the exploits of one Legionnaire named James McGill。 He's legendary as he's known by quite a number of galactic alien species and is definitely a mystery to both these aliens and the humans who work with him daily。 This books starts off pretty easily in that McGill and Legion Varus isn't activated yet so he's kind of on his own time。 That's when one of his Legion buddies， Carlos， makes an appearance at James' sack in rural Georgia。 Now that's kind of unusual in that James normally only had the female type legionnaires coming to his shack， but this time it was Carlos and he wasn't a legionnaire any longer。 For his own reasons， he had gotten out of the Legion and now was a normal （well， abnormal） Earth civilian trying to make a living。 Then he got tangled up with the Clavers！ It seems that the Clavers had found a stash of Galactic coins that were worth an ungodly fortune except it was forbidden for humans to even touch these things。 Now when I say forbidden， I meant that in a Galactic way， which means that if a human or humans were ever caught with these Galactic coins， it could result in the extermination of every human on Earth。 Now the coins that these Clavers had managed to get hold of belonged to a Galactic alien species called the Tau。 These near humans like money。 It was everything to them and they protected what they had and anyone stealing from them didn't live long to talk about it。 So， Carlos was in deep， deep trouble。 In fact， he was going to prison if he didn't tell the authorities where he got the coins in his possession and who gave them to him。 Carlos was going to be in prison for a long time。This is when James McGill steps in and starts some investigating。 He did that because he was ordered to by none other than Imperator Galina Turov。 Yeah， she's moved up in the world and was no longer commanding Legion Varus。 Still， she was acting strange in the beginning of this book because she does actually show up at James' shack in Georgia， but she also invites him to go with her home and meet her parents！ That shocks the crap out of McGill。 It seems like Galina's sister is getting married and Galina needs to be at the wedding according to her father。 Now McGill has never met any of Galina's relatives and especially not her father。 And it turns out that her Father is none other than Archduke Turov or Public Servant Turov， about the most highly ranked civilian on the planet Earth。So， James is meeting new people and so far hasn't killed any of them yet。 That's where the fun starts。 See， the Nairbs are the Galaxies accountants and they know that some Galactic coins have gone missing because the Tau have filed a complaint。 James and everyone else knows that if the Naribs find these coins in the possession of Carlos or the Clavers， then Earth is doomed。 So， James has to find out where the Clavers are hiding。 This is when the fighting all starts。 Legion Varus is dispatched to destroy the ice world upon which a large contingent of Claver clones have settled and are guarding a huge stash of Galactic coins。 So the legion must get the coins and return them to the Tau or someone in the Galactic government。 Of course that's not going to be easy， and it gets even more complicated when one Centurion James McGill is brought before a court martial which will find him guilty of killing his Legion Varus Commanding Officer and therefore thrown out o f the Legion all together！ That can't happen， right？ Well， you'll have to read to find out。This another one of those humorous Undying Mercenary books that fits the same pattern as all the rest。 McGill has to weasel himself out of one jam or another without getting permed！ He barely makes it this time。 I was hoping to see McGill get promoted， but I don't think that's going to happen and with Graves still around， it probably won't for quite some time。 I still hope there are more books in this series， but 16 is already a lot。 I'll still keep reading them if Mr。 Larson keeps writing them。 。。。more

Nothing happensAnother undying mercs book comes and literally nothing of significance happens。 Same old story， and once again， nothing actually changes。

Just keeps getting better。。。Larson never fails to deliver。 This isn't heavy science fiction and it doesn't really stand up against the classics， but it is a great， entertaining， and fun read。 If you're looking for some light military sci-fi with a few fun twists， this is your series。 I can't wait for #17。Please keep it up， Mr。 Larson。 Just keeps getting better。。。Larson never fails to deliver。 This isn't heavy science fiction and it doesn't really stand up against the classics， but it is a great， entertaining， and fun read。 If you're looking for some light military sci-fi with a few fun twists， this is your series。 I can't wait for #17。Please keep it up， Mr。 Larson。 。。。more

Ending was a bit disjointedI've read all the books in the Undying Mercenaries series， and had enjoyed them all， but this one was a bit of a disappointment。 From the point of the trial til the end of the book seemed to be an after thought。。。。 all filler。 Ending was a bit disjointedI've read all the books in the Undying Mercenaries series， and had enjoyed them all， but this one was a bit of a disappointment。 From the point of the trial til the end of the book seemed to be an after thought。。。。 all filler。 。。。more

One of the best in this seriesAlthough it retreads a lot of material it still remains interesting and funny though some of the jokes are getting old。 The Galina character relationship changes？？ Maybe maybe not。
