And for those who haven't read the Legion of the Damned books there are nine in all--with more on the way. Here's what some reviewers had to say:
Publisher's Weekly, July 1993, LEGION OF THE DAMNED
This imperial space opera takes up the theme of fighting against impossible odds. At the center of the story is a futuristic French Foreign Legion made up of cyborgs and other societal misfits. The scrappy, chip-on-their-shoulder soldiers occupy their own planet in the far reaches of a contracting human space empire. When a xenophobic alien empire strikes at the humans the legion becomes the best hope for human salvation...
Throw in a Nero-like emperor more interested in his own pleasure than in the future of his empire, aristocratic conspirators working behind the scenes to take over the throne and ruthless, paranoid aliens with no way of understanding human psychology, and Dietz's (Drifter's war) latest tale become exciting and suspenseful. The humanity of the characters mixes well with the action to give this space drama real punch.
Publisher's Weekly, September 2004, FOR THOSE WHO FELL
Careful plotting and realistically messy detail help lift Dietz?s sixth military SF novel (after 2003's For More Than Glory) about the Legion of the Damned, an army of bio bod humans, aliens and brain boxes installed in mechanical bodies, which defends the Confederacy of Sentient Beings against any threat. ... Dietz expertly jumps from one theater of combat to another, one side to another, to show the opponents planning but then improvising as plans go awry. Even if the novel's action sometimes is as manipulative as a WWF Smackdown, it still gives a genuine adrenaline rush.
Publisher’s Weekly, August 2007, WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST
The seventh Legion of the Damned novel (after 2004 's For Those Who Fell) continues the unapologetically brutal military SF saga with a pedal-to-the-metal plot jam-packed with intrigue, deep space adventure and futuristic com bar... with elements of sociological science fiction ala Alan Dean Foster's Commonwealth saga, this adrenaline-fueled Clancyesque adventure is Dietz in top form.
CA Reviews, October 2010, WHEN DUTY CALLS
I’m always amazed that this author so skillfully weaves so much into one novel. There’s plenty of action, political intrigue, military maneuvering, the search for the shape shifter, dealings with the Vord, and even the relationship between Cato and Alamy. The plot moves smoothly and swiftly from one plot to another, never getting bogged down, yet never seeming to skimp on detail or motivations. This is science fiction for anyone who enjoys action, politics, and character-driven stories.
