Publisher's summary

When there's no hope for the terminally ill or a condemned criminal they have one last chance to survive. And that's to join the Legion and become a cyborg. Both more and less than human, these warriors are the most elite fighting force in the Empire, they are the Legion of the Damned.

Plot summary

In the far future, the Human Empire has been attacked by the alien Hudatha. Humanity's last hope lies with the Legion (the successor to the French Foreign Legion), an elite fighting force of cyborg soldiers.
