Synopsis

"When all hope is lost--for the terminally ill, for the condemned criminal, for the victim who cannot be saved--there comes one final choice. You can choose life--as a cyborg soldier in the Legion. Both more and less than human, these steel warriors with determined human minds are the most elite fighting force in the Empire. They are fearsome--and expendable. They are the... LEGION OF THE DAMNED ...God help them."

About this title

Review:

Exciting and suspenseful. The humanity of the characters mixes well with the action to give this space drama real punch. Publishers Weekly

"The weapons are futuristic and yet the battles seemed familiar...this was refreshing, making the vast sprawl of space seem more human than maybe it could have been... The wealth of characters..make the story arcs work and each adds to the tale in their own unique way... a thoroughly enjoyable novel." --The Cult Den

"It's one of those 'must read' books that actually deserve their heralded reputation." ----Curiosity of a Social Misfit
