Reviewer:

What happended? For those that have followed this series we have always been able to see the Legion do their best work when the pressure is on and the stakes are high. This time I felt dissapointed and let down. My expectations were high and I was really waiting for it to all come together and then a big “poof” All done, go home everyone? Sorry, But, that doesn’t cut it for me. I have read Dietz because he has always delivered, Fast paced action, exceptional technology and a host of great charaters that make the Legion special. They are usually facing a dangerous & seriously competent enemy.

If anything it would seem that this book was an attempt at an easy way out to end the series. It seems that he was rushed and needed a quick ending. The result is a couple of interesting books that had some potential and then a let down.

Buy this book, or I’ll make you, By Force of Arms…

Reviewer:

William C. Dietz is a master of military sci-fi. His Legion of the Damned seris is great. Its full of realism, blood & guts, and political twists. If you enjoy sci-fi you should read this book, its excellent. I can’t wait for the next addition!

Reviewer:

The first two books about the legion was very heavy on the cyborgs. I liked the style in which Dietz told the transformation from human to cyborg. Now the last two books have been more political than HC-scfi fi!

Really good addition to the series….But , July 6, 2000

 

Reviewer:

I do believe this was a good addition to this series. But I think that the series has started to stray from the original Legion of the Damned or maybe grow is a better word. More politics, less blood and guts. Never the less, this is a good read for any true fan of military science-fiction.

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.
