Product: Legionnaire (Galaxy's Edge Book 1)
The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire. 
A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno. 
A hostile force ambushes Victory Company during a reconnaissance-in-force deep inside enemy territory. Stranded behind enemy lines, a sergeant must lead a band of survivors against merciless insurgents on a deadly alien world somewhere along the galaxy’s edge. With no room for error, the Republic’s elite fighting force must struggle to survive under siege while waiting on a rescue that might never come. 
Join Victory Company as they fight for their lives. When you think you’ve surrounded the Legion... you’ve just made your last mistake.
