Legion Books

The first novel in William C. Dietz's acclaimed Legion of the Damned series... There is one final choice for the hopeless—the terminally ill, the condemned criminals, the victims who cannot be saved: becoming cyborg soldiers in the Legion. Their human bodies are destroyed and they are reborn as living weapons. But when aliens attack the Empire, the Legion must choose sides.

Human and machine. Elite and Expendable. They are the Legion of the Damned. The Hudathans are on a rampage. They have created their own corps of cyborgs using copycat technology and psychotic candidates. They have refitted their hardware. Reloaded their weapons. Refueled their insanity. And targeted the heart of the Confederacy, once and for all. The Legion will be there to greet them.

"Dietz's expertise in matters of mayhem is second to none." -- The Oregonian

You're only a hero until your next battle. Legion General Bill Booly knows that peace is just a pause between wars. He's just crushed one uprising, and now a new rebellion is already brewing on a remote world light years away--spawning a web of terrorism that is close enough to catch the vulnerable Confederacy in its grasp.

The final line of defense for humankind, the Legion of the Damned, under the command of General William "Bill" Booly II and First Lieutenant Antonio Santana, take on war on two fronts to protect the Confederacy after the alien Ramanthians acquire faster-than-light technology.

From the NATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR of When Duty Calls . Captured by the alien Ramanthians, diplomat Christine Vanderveen must protect the Confederacy's President from both their captors and fellow prisoners. But rescue is on the way, led by Lieutenant Tonio Sanchez, Vanderveen's former lover, who must try to set aside his personal feelings for the sake of the mission.

Human and machine. Elite and expendable. They are the Legion of the Damned™. In the distant future, condemned criminals and the terminally ill face two choices: they can die, or they can join the Legion of the Damned, an elite fighting force that consists of human legionnaires and cyborgs. As the war with the Ramanthians continues, Captain Antonio Santana and his company of legionnaires find themselves surrounded by enemy forces and faced with annihilation. Even as they struggle to survive those on the home front—like Santana’s former lover, diplomat Christine Vanderveen— and face growing shortages, treacherous allies, and their own emotions. When Christine meets the charismatic newly elected president of the Clone Republic, the diplomat finds herself torn between old love and a new loyalty. And as the diplomat battles her own divided heart, Santana battles for his life, and for those of his troops. “Starts at hyper speed and accelerates from there into a fabulous, graphic military science-fiction opus in which readers will need seat belts… A must read.” — SFRevu Book 8 in the Legion of the Damned™ series by New York Times bestselling author William C. Dietz.

LOSE A BATTLE. Earth has fallen. And the men, women, and cyborgs of the Confederacy must dig deep within their warrior hearts to make one final stand against an alien aggressor… WIN THE WAR. On a rim world, Captain Antonio Santana is reunited with diplomat Christine Vanderveen to protect the severely wounded Ramanthian Queen, who has fled there to avoid assassination. And they’ll risk everything to save the Confederacy, billions of lives—and their future together.

New York Times bestselling author William C. Dietz returns to his riveting Legion of the Damned™ series, which Publishers Weekly hailed as “exciting and suspenseful… [with] real punch,” in this tenth and final installment. There was a time when the Confederacy of Sentient beings ruled the galaxy. A time when the Legion of the Damned kept the peace. But no more. Autocrats rose and fell. Now mankind is ruled by a xenophobe named Cassidian, other races have retreated, and an interstellar war is brewing. The kind of war the Legion used to fight. But where are the legionnaires? “Retired,” some say. “Dead,” according to others. There are rebels, however, men and women who oppose Cassidian. But they need warships, and warships require pilots, and that’s why they purchase Copernicus Synn from a slaver and give him a job. To succeed, Synn will have to deal with pirates, hijack spaceships and battle Cassidian’s forces. But Synn will have help from a beautiful gladiator, and if he can find them—The Legion of the Damned.
