A review by ravenwood1984
By Blood Alone by William C. Dietz

3.0

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.
