An ancient killer is coming for everyone, human and Omni alike and the only chance to stop it was obliterated more than two thousand years ago.

REVIEWS
"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 to biotechnology; 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
