(2026)(The second book in the Bronze Legion series)
A novel by Jason Cordova and Melissa Olthoff
Foreign Legion in Space
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A HERO?
The Protectorate of Mars Foreign Legion isn’t just a path to citizenship—it’s a calling. To be more than you were before. A defender, a protector . . . a hero.
COURAGE
Private Diego Tavi proved his worth during the evacuation of Aurora, earning his drop name and finding a new home within the Bronze Legion. But beneath the calm exterior of a battle-tested legionnaire lies a mind in turmoil—about who he is, what he will become, and whether he will be able to keep his sworn oath to be the best legionnaire possible.
HONOR
Lieutenant Astra ‘Blue’ Eliassen proved herself ready for command in the skies of Aurora, earning her Raven wings and a promotion to aircraft commander of Bronze Raven Four. But everything has a cost, and rescuing 4th Squad carried a steep bill—one Sir Percival Norwood is determined to collect. With political games interfering with her military career, Blue will have to lean hard on the lessons of her legendary grandmother or risk losing everything she’s worked so hard for . . . including her dreams of joining the Survey Corps.
Genre: Science Fiction
