When Duty Calls

When Duty Calls

2016

Human and machine. Elite and expendable. They are the Legion of the Damned™.
In the distant future, condemned criminals and the terminally ill face two choices: they can die, or they can join the Legion of the Damned, an elite fighting force that consists of human legionnaires and cyborgs.

As the war with the Ramanthians continues, Captain Antonio Santana and his company of legionnaires find themselves surrounded by enemy forces and faced with annihilation. Even as they struggle to survive those on the home front—like Santana’s former lover, diplomat Christine Vanderveen— and face growing shortages, treacherous allies, and their own emotions.

When Christine meets the charismatic newly elected president of the Clone Republic, the diplomat finds herself torn between old love and a new loyalty. And as the diplomat battles her own divided heart, Santana battles for his life, and for those of his troops.

“Starts at hyper speed and accelerates from there into a fabulous, graphic military science-fiction opus in which readers will need seat belts… A must read.” —SFRevu
