I had no idea this was a series when I picked it up. It does a very nice job as a stand-alone story.
The military sci-fi genre has a lot of big names associated with it, and to me Dietz matches up well and I'm confident he holds his own.
This story has it all - the disgraced unit, the leader who will restore them, military and political coups, intergalactic senates, returning heroes of the past, and even aliens that are alien to the aliens.....
Dietz has an easy flowing style and craft the type of novel that you just have to get back to,whenever you get a chance and wherever you may be.
Highly recommended.

The new techno-thriller from the author of Legion of the Damned and The Final Battle, it takes more than guts to win a war. It's Legionnaire against Legionnaire in a struggle that will be won by strength, by courage, and fittingly so, by blood alone. In a Legion gone lax, Colonel Bill Booly, with his mixed blood and by-the-book attitude, is a misfit. So when he steps on some important toes, his punishment is assignment to the worst post in the galaxy: Earth. But Booly and his troops will turn out to be Earth's best line of defense, when a Legion-led military coup topples the government.
