Science Fiction
In their third outstanding military SF novel about a
spoiled, foppish princeling's coming of age while marooned
on the primitive planet of Marduk after a bungled
assassination attempt, Weber and Flint (March
Upcountry; March to the Sea ) show Prince Roger
developing into a thoughtful and highly competent (not to
mention dangerous and charismatic) leader, who can inspire
loyalty among both his Marine bodyguards and the Mardukan
troops who have lent a hand or four. Parallels with Prince
Hal in Henry IV are probably intentional, adding a certain
gravitas to the many exceptionally well-done battle
scenes, especially one that recalls the scale of Tolkien's
Helm's Deep, which Roger wins by exercise of intelligence
rather than strength. The prince and his followers
discover that the original assassination attempt is part
of a wider plot, as is a particularly loathsome example of
cross-cultural contamination affecting the dominant
Mardukan society. As Roger and company prepare to leave
the planet, readers can look forward to seeing how the
authors will retell Henry V. It should be one hell of a
St. Crispin's Day.
