Reception

Lynn Bryant reviewed The Regiment in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 79. [1] Bryant commented that "The Regiment is a good read. It is a long book that could have benefited by being a bit shorter, but the prose reads easily and while Dalmas could have packed in more battles, there is plenty of action. if you are looking for a good militarily oriented story that challenges you to think, you'll enjoy this book."
