Jay Allan’s Complete Portal Wars Trilogy...
Erastus. An unimaginable nightmare. A searing hot world, covered with cracked, burning deserts and sweltering jungles. A hostile planet far from Earth, it was the most hellish place men have ever tried to survive. Called Gehenna by the condemned men sent to fight there, it forged the few who survived its murderous battles into the strongest soldiers in history.
Jake Taylor is one of those men, a young New Hampshire farmer and an unlikely soldier. But mankind was fighting the alien Tegeri and their bio-mechanical cyborg soldiers, and UN Central needed men…men to go to war on hostile worlds like Erastus.
Jake wasn’t given a choice, not a real one. He found himself torn from home and family, conscripted for life and shipped to Erastus to take his place in the battle lines, never to return. In this alien hell, Taylor and his cybernetically-enhanced comrades fight their never-ending war against the servants of the Tegeri, the manufactured soldiers they call simply, the Machines.
Jake survives battle after battle, rising steadily through the ranks, giving all to the desperate fight to save Earth. But endless combat in hell carries a cost, and Taylor can feel himself losing what little is left of his spirit, his humanity. When he finally discovers a terrible secret…that everything he’d believed, all he’d fought for his entire life, was nothing but a monstrous lie, he must decide who is the real enemy, and how far he is willing to go to right a horrific wrong.
And if he does what he must to prevail against overwhelming odds and win the final victory, will he be able to control the growing madness inside…or will he be become the very thing he has sworn to destroy?
This collection includes the entire Portal Wars trilogy (3 complete novels)

Portal Wars The Trilogy eBook Jay Allan
I read the first two books of the "Blood on the Stars" series by this author and enjoyed them, so I ordered this series (3 books in one). To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. Some things go on forever - Ad Infinitum; others go on until the reader becomes sick of them - ad nauseam; aspects of this book went on "Ad Tedium"; until the reader becomes numb from the sheer weight of extraneous mental rambling from the characters - just about all of them. The main character maintains a journal throughout the 20+ years the story takes to (finally!) reach a conclusion. So, following every action, every event, and once we have read the account as it happened, we are treated to the journal entry covering the same event, written in the General's journal, where he second guesses his decisions and tells us, again, what happened but in his own words. Sometimes the journal entry is 3 times as long as the account of the event. Another example: at one time some Resistance fighters are fleeing through an abandoned NYC subway tunnel when their leader stops kneed-deep in water, and launches into a 3-page soliloquy (although, hopefully, only in his mind) about a battle he fought 40 or 50 years earlier. Mind you, each major character gets to interrupt the story with these long-winded, irrelevant ramblings that contribute nothing to the story line or the readers' insight into the person. Good guys, villians, everyone gets his say. There are 3 books in one volume here; shortly after I started the second volume I found myself skimming those uninteresting, irrelevant interruptions; by the time I got halfway through book 2, I began to skip entire pages and started begging the writer to please, please get on with the story. The story is a good one, though not original; other writers have written along this story line (corrupt, greedy government lying to their troops off-world fighting an unnecessary war, prompting one or more of those troops to rebel and fight back) Also, the book is well-written, in that the grammar, spelling, and dialog is correct and believable, with very few editing mistakes such as "much" for "must". I would have enjoyed this story had the author resisted the temptation to show us how much he loves his own wordiness and written it as a single novel, sans the extraneous ramblings.Product details

Portal Wars The Trilogy eBook Jay Allan Reviews
Just finished reading the first 3 books in the series and really enjoyed them if you like military science fiction and lot's of action then you have to read this series. From the start to the end they are action packed.
Like all of Jay Allan's books these cost me a lot more than money. They cost me hours of sleep. I did not want to put them down until I finished all of them. As always you will not be disappointed. True military science fiction.
Jay Allan has out done himself on this one. Not only a great story line but also all the background activity. I think what I enjoyed most was the "thoughts " of not only Jake, but also the other main characters words in the form of diary or other similar words.
This, in my opinion, is the best scifi trilogy I've ever read!! Read the first and second books when each first came out! Wished I hadn't waited so long to read the last one, but best excuse to read first two all over again! I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who wonders what our future may hold!!
It's a good series. However, the editing need improvement. Missing words, misspellings, inaccuracies all through the series. In a rifle, it's a magazine, not a clip. Some sentences stuttered to a weird end. Added letteres, missing words, etc.
A good read, but man, the editor needs to earn his/her paycheck on this one.
I wasn't too sure how I felt about the way the story was told. I hadn't really read anything equivalent in all my years. It took me many chapters and then I realized that I nolonger questioned it. I was now looking forward, with great anticipation, to every new chapter. I simply cannot wait for the next trilogy!!! I had to finish the book and it's now approaching 230 in the morning. I'm not sure how I'm going to sleep, as I'm ready to keep going after having read the epilogue. Darn you, Jay Allen...
Jay Allan is an awesome stoyteller. Each book builds on a classic confrontation between civilizations...authoritarian vs. free. Jay goes into great detail relative to the strengths and weaknesses of the adversaries, both militarily and political. But the strength of the writing is the courage, sacrifice and unyielding will of free men and women under siege. God help us if this nation loses this sacred trust in Him and each other.
