ABOUT THE SERIES Cross of the Legion is the fifth book in the heart-pounding military adventures of the Soldier of the Legion Series--where virtue is worth dying for and honor is all that remains when the smoke clears. PRAISE FOR CROSS OF THE LEGION "I'm always excited to find a new addition to the Soldier of the Legion Series in my mailbox. The characters in this series seem like old friends to me now, and I'm eager to discover what sort of dangers they might encounter. I'm not a sci fi devotee, but this series is so imaginative, so well written and rich in imagery that I find myself devouring every page. ..It has everything: memorable, courageous heroes who are all but immortal thanks tobiotechnology; fierce battle action on hostile worlds; ghastly creatures bent on eliminating all humans; and, most of all, this series of books has heart and hope for all who read them. Highly recommended." -- Laurel Johnson of Midwest Book Review
