For Those Who Fell

Description

Human and machine. Elite and expendable. They are the Legion of the Damned™. In the distant future, condemned criminals and the terminally ill face two choices: they can die, or they can join the Legion of the Damned, an elite fighting force that consists of human legionnaires and cyborgs. After the battleship that served as its capital is destroyed, the Confederacy of Sentient Beings seeks to establish a new headquarters on the snowy, windswept planet of Algeron—birthplace of General Bill Booly, who is put in charge of the mission. Booly soon receives news that could change everything: At the heart of a Ramanthian fortress lies the key to faster-than-ship interstellar communication: technology that the aliens have, and humans need. The military importance of stealing such a capability is immediately obvious, as is the right person to do the job: Lieutenant Antonio Santana. Now the stage is set for an epic struggle on two fronts as both men risk everything they have to save the Confederacy.
