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 When you think you ve surrounded the Legion you ve just made your last mistake.

as the saying goes They ve got us surrounded, they can t get away The story has some inspiration in games like Halo and the Clone Wars, but the authors write a tale all their own, full of grit,

written military science fiction book It is jus the kind that I like The story is from the first person of Sergeant C Chhun, a Squad Leader in Victory Company, 131st Republic Legionnaires They are paired up with a regular Republic Army unit on a joint diplomatic mission to Kublar village Unfortunately, the Republic Army leadership is pretty bad, very bad One specifically bad leader Captain

suffers from some pacing issues andI never connected with the characters or the world but liked the writing and the story nonetheless.Decent.The good old days weren t Simple as that Simply superb and not a full moment from start to finish, despite the old adage that a legionnaires life is mostly , inactivity Boredom Routine No boredom here, though, as the reader is immediately drawn into the seemingly straightforward mission to solidify a treaty with the friendly locals Instead, Victory company is attacked and the expectation is that We re all going to die Seen from the perspective of

from the back, and then I add my own twist And not even much of one, since most of the books I read have kick butt descriptions aka blurbs If the blurb doesn t catch my eye, then I tend to skip the book unless a friend recommends it Generally speaking, my goal is to provide a spoiler free review, so here goes nothing The Legionnaire underst Summary First, let me say that none of what I ll say in
