The national bestselling author of For More Than
Glory and For Those Who Fell presents a thrilling
new novel of The Legion of the Damned-dispatched on a
mission that will determine humanity's future in a galaxy
full of unpredictable enemies...
As
interstellar war rages, the President of the Confederacy is
captured by the Ramanthian enemy. But the aliens don't
realize the prize they have taken, since, at the suggestion
of young diplomat Christine Vanderveen, all the captives
have agreed to hide his identity.
Then the
prisoners are taken to a brutal slave labor camp-and
Vanderveen is concerned that there may be some among them
tempted to reveal the ruse. Determined to protect the
President, she must face down opposition, both alien and
human, all the while hoping for rescue.
And
rescue is on the way-an unauthorized effort, organized by
General Bill Booly, manned by a team of volunteers with
nothing to lose-and headed by Captain Antonio Santana,
Vanderveen's former lover, who must try to set aside his
personal feelings for the sake of the mission...
