Legionnaire

Ten years ago, one novel relaunched military science fiction for a new generation of readers. Now the book that ignited the Galaxy's Edge phenomenon returns in the collector's edition fans have been waiting for.

This 10th Anniversary Edition of Legionnaire presents Jason Anspach and Nick Cole's landmark novel in a premium leatherbound hardcover featuring, for the first time, full-color illustrations by artist Randall Whiteis that bring Victory Company, the Republic's elite Legionnaires, and the hostile world of Kublar to vivid, blaster-scorched life. Built to be read comfortably and displayed proudly, this is the definitive edition of the book where it all began.

The Legion still hits first, hits hard, and leaves nothing standing. Deep inside enemy territory, Victory Company is ambushed by a hostile force and a jaded sergeant must lead a band of surviving legionnaires against merciless insurgents on a deadly alien world at the galaxy's edge. Under siege, outnumbered, and waiting on a rescue that might never come, the Republic's finest have exactly one option left: KTF. When you think you've surrounded the Legion, you've just made your last mistake.

Since its 2017 debut, Legionnaire has launched one of the most successful independent science fiction franchises of the modern era: a universe spanning more than two dozen novels with millions of copies sold, chart-topping audiobook productions, a Dragon Award win for Best Military Science Fiction Novel (Savage Wars), and #1 Amazon bestseller rankings across Science Fiction, Space Opera, and Men's Adventure. Critics and bestselling authors took notice from the start: DJ Molles called it "Star Wars meets Generation Kill," and #1 New York Times bestseller Karen Traviss praised its authentic characters and fast-moving military action that never loses the human side of war.

Whether you're a longtime leej returning to Kublar or a first-time reader discovering the series that redefined boots-on-the-ground military sci-fi, this illustrated anniversary edition is the way to experience it. An essential centerpiece for any science fiction collection and the perfect gift for the space opera fan in your life. Ten years on, the galaxy is still a dumpster fire.

Jason Anspach and Nick Cole are the co-creators of Galaxy's Edge, the flagship franchise of the modern military science fiction revival. Together they have sold millions of copies across the Galaxy's Edge and Forgotten Ruin universes, won the Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction Novel for Savage Wars, and built one of the most loyal, engaged fandoms in genre fiction—readers who buy every release in every format, from mass paperback to premium collector editions, and turned the R.C. Bray-narrated Galaxy's Edge audiobooks into chart-topping Audible hits.

Jason Anspach is an award-winning, Associated Press bestselling author raised in a military family, known for pulse-pounding military science fiction and space opera that deftly blends action, suspense, and humor. His series include Galaxy's Edge, Forgotten Ruin, and Wayward Galaxy. He lives in Puyallup, Washington, with his wife and their own squad of seven children, and remains undefeated at arm wrestling against his entire family.

Nick Cole is a U.S. Army veteran and retired Hollywood actor. His novel The Old Man and the Wasteland was an Amazon #1 Science Fiction bestseller, and Ctrl Alt Revolt! won the 2016 Dragon Award for Best Apocalyptic Novel. He lives in Southern California.

A decade after Legionnaire first commanded readers to KTF, Anspach and Cole's Legion shows no sign of standing down, and this illustrated anniversary edition gives their audience, and a new generation of recruits, the definitive way in.
