Curse of the Legion: a military science fiction adventure

by Marshall S. Thomas

Overview

WHAT DO YOU OWE THE FUTURE, AND WHAT DO YOU OWE THE PAST?

With the hated totalitarian System on the verge of collapse and the dreaded alien Omnis observing an unexpected truce, veteran soldier of the Legion Thinker has finally found happiness with his wife Priestess in a cozy home raising his children and teaching new Legion recruits. It is a dream he never thought possible, a haven of peace and comfort. It is also short-lived, and soon the Legion finds itself fighting for the survival of its civilization against a shadowy enemy willing to do the unthinkable to destroy ConFree.

Return to the Legion for this final episode in the heart-pounding military adventures of the Soldier of the Legion series--where honor is all that remains when the smoke clears.

Editorial Reviews

"I'm a little sad to see this excellent sci fi series end...With skill and compassion, the author brought these characters to life for me. I'll miss these courageous Legion immortals, forever young and strong as they seek truth and justice throughout the known universe."
