Soldiers Of The Legion #2
March of the Legion
Marshall S. Thomas
Product DescriptionIn the era of total galactic war, can one squad really make a difference? On a hostile planet, Legion trooper Thinker and his comrades of Squad Beta are ordered to assault the invading encampment of alien Omins. But the moment they are dropped into the atmosphere of Andrion 3, little goes as planned. Only months out of training, Beta find themselves marooned on a world of smoke, ash, and lava, facing giant exosegs, and an enemy who attacks their very minds. The fate of ConFree, perhaps the whole of mankind, lies in their hands. To survive all they need do is destroy the Omni menace. The only problem---no one has ever defeated the Omnis.

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
