About this listen

A century ago, all but two members of Lance Scipio's unit were executed for bringing dishonor to his regiment.

Now, he is woken into a strange new time, and tasked with whipping into shape the worst squad of misfits in the entire Human Marine Corps.

The price of failure: Death!

AD 2565. Tranquility-4 near the frontier of the White Knight Empire. Guided by mysterious orders, the authorities at the Human Marine Corps base of Beta City thaw Lance Scipio. In 2441, an entire Marine company was executed with the exception of Captain Grimgerde and Sergeant Lance Scipio, the usual punishment for running in the face of the enemy. But these two were preserved...as if they would be required in the future.

Scipio is not expected to escape execution for long, but he has been given a slim chance. For a Marine, a chance can be all that's needed to change the fate of worlds.

The Sleeping Legion is an action-filled sequence of military science fiction novels set in the worlds of the hit series The Human Legion by Tim C. Taylor.

Love this series. The military humour and action is superb. Read like Gunnery Sargent Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. Brilliant 👍😀

What a unique and interesting story with a background which leaves lots of questions as to how the humans got to where they are. A unique tale with interesting stories along the way.

One of the best military science fiction series of books I have ever had the pleasure to continue with. This book takes you further into the story and characters grow into your team members as you listen

this feels like a first attempt at writing. the universe is promising but the writing is lacking, misses lots of back drop. it's not helped by an over dromatic narration that tried to over tell the story, over punctuating every sentence.

to jumpy and without out back plot.
