Erik Cain joined the Marines to get off death row. The deal was simple; enlist to fight in space and he would be pardoned for all his crimes.
In the 23rd Century, assault troops go to war wearing AI-assisted, nuclear-powered armor, but it is still warriors and blood that win battles. From one brutal campaign to the next, Erik and his comrades fight an increasingly desperate war over the resource rich colony worlds that have become vital to the economies of Earth's exhausted and despotic Superpowers.
As Erik rises through the ranks he becomes a deadly warrior, and he finally finds a home, first with the Marines who fight at his side and later among the colonists - men and women who have dared to leave everything behind to build a new society on the frontier, one where the freedoms and rights lost long ago on Earth are preserved.
But causes can be fleeting, imperfect things. Amidst the blood and death and sacrifice, Erik begins to wonder. Is he fighting the right war? And who is the real enemy?

Marines Crimson Worlds 1 eBook Jay Allan
As a former Military Man (and Disabled Veteran as a result) I noted a very few errors in equipment described on the book, all of them of current vintage as I haven't any experience with the future weapons, Natch.Regardless, this book is a good read and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an interest in potential future conflicts and how the Military Mind goes about prosecuting wars while the politicians care not one iota about the troops in the field.
If past experience with politicians is any indication, then the author is spot on in portraying them in the future.

Marines Crimson Worlds 1 eBook Jay Allan Reviews
An hommage to starship troopers. The armor and weapons are very similar and even the structure of the story telling is comparable. You are thrown into the fight with Erik on his first space insertion and battle, then returned to his earlier life. This is the first time you see the corrupt and dysfunctional dystopian future America. Later you find out the rest of the word and its superpowers are just as bad.
Erik is saved by the corps and becomes an outstanding soldier and this is when the story starts to take off. About 2/3rds of the way through Erik and the reader find out more about the earth and its deterioration into corruption and disparity.
Unlike the description, the book ends with the main character still in the marines and not with the colonists. I’m sure this is part of the next book. If you are thrown by the politics or structure the battles, you should read the last 20% first. It contains an explanation of the superpowers and how they came into being. It also outlines the marine’s structure and fighting organizing. It doesn’t have any spoilers, but may help the reader.
We've all read this story before. A young nobody from a nowhere life joins the military, has a talent for it, and shoots up the ranks. But what makes the story a bit different is that the author has given us a lot of background. He's giving us information about the world and how it came to be. With this backstory, the plight of our hero is a little more believable. Minor spoiler alert the fact that he comes to realize the truth of the world he fights for and then realizes why he truly fights, makes for quite the interesting situation.
With that all said, I did enjoy the story. And I'm ready to continue on with the entire series. I found the writing to be easy which is saying a lot for somebody like me who is dyslexic. Not once did I find myself having to reread sections to make sure I understood what was happening. Everything was clear and concise. I've collected several of Jay Allan's books, and am happy now that I've finally gotten the chance to read his work. If you enjoyed military sci-fi as I do, stories that do have an intelligent plot, I recommend that you get your own copy of this story, read it, and then continue on as I will.
A true picture of military life regardless of the century or the enemy. The character is enjoyable and well developed. The other significant characters are also fairly well developed and contribute directly to the story without clogging the pace. The pace is generally good and the interest level is maintained. The "Staff" and "Political" segments are very accurate to any veteran or historian of any military action in the 20th century and accelerating in the 21st. Given the setting it's almost possible to regard that situation as "same old, same old - new place" and other pithy military sayings that you all know but I can't repeat here.
Mr. Allan creates a very believable universe which he populates with interesting characters so I would recommend it. Although, many veterans will find it too true to reality and a bit unsettling in the memories it invokes. A truism might be "the soldier wins wars and the politician's lose the victory". In that respect this is almost a satire of the Viet Nam War or the current situation in the Mid-East. So read it and learn from the veteran's point which this presents very well.
Okay, I wasn't expecting the depth of expansion of the future humanity becomes in this first novel in this series . Being a cynic of governments in general - if we ever develop into a space faring race, I can certainly visualize a seemingly dysfunctional outcome as portrayed. This in no way is a statement on the excellent quality of this book or the author. Very few typos but not enough to impact my rating, but they are there. I really enjoyed this book and am looking s forward to the rest of the ongoing series. I care for the characters and they are well developed. War is hell, regardless of what point in our history; but future tech and factional human enemies seems all too real. Military science fiction is one of my favorite genre's I read for fun and entertainment. This book could stand alone but a preview of the next in series leaves me with my mouth watering for more. Am super-glad I have discovered Jay Allan's books and that there is plenty more to read going forward. I usually read several books at a time depending on my mood but I honestly had to drop the other two (and they're good too) until I finished this one. Kudos to Jay Allan on a fine read. And thank God there is much more to for me to read going forward.
