Dietz has a lot of ideas in this book, but none of them were particularly well done except the action - when he actually wrote it. As a fun, quick space opera, it's not bad, though. If he had made this into a trilogy, he could have made it quite a good story. As it was, there just wasn't enough meat to really be satisfying. He'd jump from one place to another, do a quick flashback on what could have been an awesome scene, but it was just a quick synopsis. Maybe that was my big problem - a lot of tell & not enough show. I had some issues with the logic & physics that made up the story, too. There were quite a few magical fixes. Smart people had to act awfully stupid at times in order to make the story work. There were a few love interests in the story. Most felt tacked on, as if he'd finished, then gone back & added them. One really ruined part of the story for me as it was ridiculous. Another added absolutely nothing, although the third was useful, if quite strange. I won't break my neck looking for another book by this author, but if one comes my way, I won't turn it down. This is a quite good combat science fiction book. I'm not really sure how I discovered this series, but I'm glad I did. There are some new ideas here, as well as some that mirror John Ring (incompetence in command) and Keith Laumer (alien invasion). Overall and enjoyable read, and I'll be reading more from this series. http://www.stillhq.com/book/William_C_Dietz/Legion_of_the_Damned.html I had a hard time getting into this book. It focuses on space wars, cyborgs, and a whole mess of people. 50 pages into the book, every new scene brought with it an entirely new group of people. The cultures of the various races were intriguing, and there were some not-awful love stories, but on the whole I found it barely readable. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The first novel in William C. Dietz's acclaimed Legion of the Damned series... There is one final choice for the hopeless--the terminally ill, the condemned criminals, the victims who cannot be saved: becoming cyborg soldiers in the Legion. Their human bodies are destroyed and they are reborn as living weapons. But when aliens attack the Empire, the Legion must choose sides. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I also appreciated that the future Mr. Dietz created was easy to envision--detailed enough to understand, but not so detailed that you get bogged down in it. There's also the fact that in my opinion it was realistic enough to be believed and far-fetched enough to lay any personal concerns to rest. Is it possible that this would be similar to the true future? Yes, anything is possible. Is it probable? Not in my opinion, but it is a wonderful fiction.
To say the least, when I found that I was approximately thirty pages from the end of this book I looked through my boyfriend's books, found the next volume and squirreled it away to begin reading the moment I finished the first.
