Slave of the Legion: a military science fiction adventure

by Marshall S. Thomas

Overview

THERE'S NO WAY THE O'S ARE GOING TO INHERIT THIS WORLD. IT'S GOING TO GLOW IN THE DARK FIRST.

The Mound rises up against the skyline, an imposing, brooding presence, dark and silent. It appears to be completely deserted. We had seen the O's crucified victims, up on metal stakes, on our way to the Mound. It was almost as if they were pointing the way. I know we're going to die — all of us. But it's all right. I'm not afraid of death any more. All I want is revenge.
