Having been forced to defend the Cumbre star system without Confederation help, the Last Legion must now answer the throbbing question: Why has the government that rules a thousand star systems suddenly become so silent?
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The time of the Human Confederation is coming to an end. The rule of the empire weakens daily as its forces stretch themselves beyond their limits to maintain peace and order. For the legionnaires far out in the Cumbre System, cut off from their homeworld, where survival takes precedence over politics. And when a revolution strikes up arms against them, they find they may be the last legion ever to fight in the Confederation's name.
