Legion of the Damned


William C. Dietz - 1993
    Dietz's acclaimed Legion of the Damned series...

C.J. Cherryh - 1981
    J. Cherryh's Union-Alliance novels, while separate and complete in themselves, are part of a much larger tapestry—a future history spanning 5,000 years of human civilization. A blockbuster space opera of the rebellion between Earth and its far-flung colonies, it is a classic science fiction masterwork.
