Andromeda's Fall (Legion of the Damned)
How does the author’s immensely popular Legion of the Damned recruit its desperate and deadly members? This novel provides some clues. Lady Catherine Carletto can only be described as a playgirl—until her brother is murdered by a particularly devious plot of the ruthless Imperial Princess Ophelia. Suddenly, Catherine is flung into the middle of her brother’s plots to overthrow the empire—but she has to stay alive first, before she can exact vengeance. So Lady Catherine vanishes, and the Legion of the Damned gains a new recruit—Andromeda McKee, like most of her new comrades a driven person with very little left to lose and no fear of consorting with the desperados who make up the ranks of the Legion. Space opera at a very high level, and not a bad place to make the acquaintance of the Legion. --Roland Green
