Product Description
Welcome to the Kitchen of the Gods, a forbidding volcanic cauldron guarded by merciless, invulnerable Omni aliens and giant, primitive exosegs. As the young Legion trooper Thinker and his comrades of Squad Beta fight their way into the Camp of the O's on Andrion 3, they fear their only mission is to die for the Legion. Their enemy has never known defeat, and the squad is helpless and terrified in the grip of the alien's awesome psypower. The battlefield is soon littered with the pitted, smoking A-suits of Thinker's closest comrades. The secrets that the squad uncovers on Andrion 3 will transform galactic politics and launch Beta into a seemingly suicidal attack against Omni targets on a hostile System world in a last ditch effort to exploit newly perceived enemy vulnerabilities. As they drop onto Mongera like microbes, they know it must be victory or death. Failure could mean extinction for their species. Forced to cooperate with their sworn Systie enemies, they meet the O in a burning city and duel with it under nuclear skies. Thinker's Legion lover Priestess is right by his side, and they pledge they will live or die together. They both know that immortality is a cruel joke for a Legion trooper, and the angel of death is with them every instant. As he advances on the O, Thinker is filled with a burning resolve and vows that if he goes out it will be with a record body count. In the era of total galactic warfare, can one squad really make a difference? The Black March is the second book of a six part series that follows Thinker's adventures in the service of the people of ConFree. Other titles in the series include Soldier of the Legion, Slave of the Legion, Secret of the Legion, Cross of the Legion and Curse of the Legion.

 The Black March, 2008-08-29
This book picks up about 10 Minutes after Soldier ends,
So the story does not lose any content.
It is as though you just finished the last chapter of Soldier, and instead of the end went on to the next chapter.
Every bit as well writen as the first book.
If you like a good space yarn Buy Soldier of the Legion and this one also,
That way you won't have to wait.

 Not so good us the first., 2008-07-25
Other than all the abbreviations that are hard to follow, the book starts with the same dinamics that has the first, but regratefully after de middle of the book, jumps into another line of argument (a story inside the main story) that more than gives a change in the story is more to fill missing ideas for the principal argument.

Book Two in the series, well worth the wait, 2007-02-11
It's been a long wait for the second in this exciting series of sci-fi books. I must admit that the attraction for me is Marshall Thomas's writing style and story telling ability. This book picks up where the last left off, with the Legion facing a scourge that threatens all life forms throughout the universe - the Omnis. Once again, the action is heart pounding, the characters believable and well developed. This time, adding interest to the plot, the Legion juggles political intrigue and betrayal along with fighting the Omnis.
Thinker and his fellow Legionnaires are battle weary and beaten down, although their courage is never in question. The Confederation of Free Worlds can replace their shattered limbs and perforated organs, keep their warriors immortal in most cases, but little can be done to repair their psyches. The warriors are little more than walking wounded as they gear up to face the Omnis on a volcanic planet of primeval chaos. The Omnis are a plague on the Universe, a creature with psychic powers and an arsenal of weapons the Legion can't easily overcome.
Arch enemy, the United Systems Alliance, is willing to make a truce with the Confederation to defeat the Omnis. Will Thinker and his Unit survive betrayal and defeat the Omnis? Readers experience breath taking action and frightening battles on alien worlds before learning the outcome. Sci-fi fans or readers who enjoy good writing should love this book This series is highly recommended.
