Curse of the Legion

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.

He raises his children in a cozy home and instructs new Legion recruits in basic training. It is a dream he never thought possible — a haven of peace and comfort.

However, it is short-lived. A savage massacre of Outworlder settlers on the Outvac planet Fortuna leads the Confederation of Free Worlds to an all-out war with the Gassies world Asumara.

Only not everything is as it appears, and the Legion soon finds itself fighting for the survival of its civilization — against a shadowy enemy willing to do the unthinkable to destroy ConFree.

Thinker comes face-to-face with the enemy, and learns that virtue is worth dying for, and that honor is all that remains when the smoke clears.

He knows that his only choice is victory or death.
