Product Description:
War is forever
The people on Earth no longer remember how the human race was nearly obliterated centuries earlier during the terror visited upon them by the merciless Xul. But the Star Marines, thirty thousand light years from home, know all too well the horror that still lives.
In the year 2886, in the midst of the intergalactic war that has been raging nonstop for nearly a decade, the unthinkable has occurred. Intelligence has located the gargantuan hidden homeworld of humankind's dedicated foe, the brutal, unstoppable Xul. The time has come for the courageous men and women of the 1st Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Force to strike the killing blow. But misguided politics on an Earth that no longer supports their mission could prove the Marine's greatest enemy—as they plunge bravely into the maelstrom of conflict . . . and into the heart of a million-year-old mystery.

He introduces a new view of the Xul which seems like a nice segway into the next book. The development of the main characters ... Read More

This series is, by the way, the second-best thing to come out of Ancient Astronauts (the first being the Stargate series).
Galactic Corps is the second novel of the Inheritance trilogy, featuring the continued struggle of humanity, spearheaded by the Marine Corps, against the Xul, incredibly ancient aliens that slaughter any emerging sentients to avoid competition. This trilogy follows the exploits of the First Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Force (1MIEF) as it takes the fight to the Xul in a ... Read More
