When Duty Calls

October 1, 2008
Duty summons two principals in the long-running Legion of the Damned series in opposite directions. Captain Antonio Santana must try to lead his Legion company out from alien encirclement and encounters a few unusual problems, such as commanding a mixed unit of purely biological and cyborg soldiers. Meanwhile, his lover, diplomat Christine Vanderveen, knows that the situation of the Clone Republic is rapidly deteriorating. The charismatic new president, whos getting powerfully attractive to Christine, may, however, save the day. The action is as brisk as ever in a Legion yarn. Standard-issue military sf doesnt get much better than this.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
