Summary

Prince Roger MacClintock, Tertiary Heir to the Throne of Man, was a spoiled rotten, arrogant, whiny, thoroughly useless young pain in the butt. But that was before an assassination attempt marooned the Royal Brat and his bodyguards on the planet Marduk, and before they had to march half way around the entire planet, through 120-degree heat and five-hour rainstorms in jungles full of damnbeasts, capetoads, killerpillars, and atul-grak, not to mention hostile peoples, to make their way back to port.

Under the right circumstances, even the most spoiled brat can grow up fast, and it turns out that, under his petulant exterior, Prince Roger is a true MacClintock, a scion of the warrior dynasty that created the Empire of Man. Now both prince and bodyguards are determined to get each other off the planet alive. Of course, the planet has other ideas.

Critic reviews

"[An] admirable continuation...The development of a Mardukan combined-arms force will fascinate sophisticated readers (the manual of arms for a four-armed, 10-foot soldier is a thing of beauty), while the overthrow of the Boman will grip straightforward action lovers in spite of the staggering body count." ( Publishers Weekly)
"This fast-paced sequel to March Upcountry continues the odyssey of men and women caught in a struggle for survival and determined to maintain their courage and humor in the face of overwhelming odds. Coauthors Weber and Ringo excel in depicting the lives and times of soldiers both on and off the battlefield." ( Library Journal)

Good book - good series

I very much enjoyed this "Prince Roger" series and have listened to it more than once.



For fans of epic science fiction this is a good buy - although the emphasis is more on low tech than high tech.

Another Excellent and engrossing installment

Gripping stuff. I got right into the first book in the saga of Prince Roger and this one was just as good. Maybe a tad too much 'soldiering' and 'battle craft' but terrific characters and story. I can't decide now whether to wait for the audio book of part 3: 'March to the Stars' or just go out and buy the novel.

Gripping Stuff

I'm now listening to the four books in this series again. Hi-tech SF, political intrigue and a coming of age trek for Prince Roger and his bodyguard. Put this together with superb authors and a great narrator and you have one of the best buys you could make on Audible.
I've since purchased more audiobooks and books by Weber & Ringo and have yet to be disappointed. More please.

Growth

It was interesting to see Roger's growth as well as the marines becoming a bit more wild. Also good to see them add the Basiks own lol

Just keeps getting better

Pick up right after the last book and the marines just keep on battling their was across the planet.

Their way across is blocked by a little war they have to fight and win...

Great adventure

TYPICAL RINGO

What did you like best about March to the Sea? What did you like least?

Its imaginative....but Ringo is obsessed with technical detail.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Ive listened to John Ringo stuff before. If you looking for deep and meaningful stories and complicated characters then look else where. In fact its almost an audiable comic. Its all swashbuckling stuff except its set in the future and on another planet, with lots of fighting enemy Aliens who are daft as planks and cant shoot straight and ofcourse die very easily :) You may find yourself drifting off a bit in places because he is obsessed with tech detail. That said its a decent romp if your in the mood for that sort of thing!

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Very good!

Did March to the Sea inspire you to do anything?

Not really?
