Synopsis

Following Artefact, Legion is the second book of the Lazarus War, an explosive new space adventure series from one of the brightest new stars in science fiction -- perfect for fans of The Edge of Tomorrow, Alien and James S. A. Corey's Expanse series.

Conrad Harris is the legend known as Lazarus, and he has died hundreds of times. Using simulant bodies, he runs suicide missions in the depths of space. But he always comes back.

As commanding officer of the Lazarus Legion, Harris and his elite Simulant Operations team are humanity's last line of defence against the hostile alien race known as the Krell.

Having survived their ordeal on Helios, they're now leading a large-scale mission to the perilous, unexplored region of the Damascus Rift. There, another Artefact has been discovered. It is the product of an ancient alien life form -- and a possible weapon to be used against the Krell.

This Artefact could finally help humanity win the war. But what Harris and the Lazarus Legion will discover there is from their worst nightmares . . .

Discover the Lazarus War -- the thrilling new space opera series of elite space marines and galactic empires, from one of the most exciting new voices in science fiction.

'A gripping read that moves at warp speed' Jack Campbell, author of the Lost Fleet novels, on The Lazarus War: Artefact

"A hostile race of alien biomechs somewhat in the mould of H. R. Giger aliens . . . terrorism, subterfuge and traitors . . . starships sporting particle beam weapons, railguns the size of skyscrapers, laser batteries, missiles . . . And then there are the uber-human super-soldiers clad in powered armour and wielding plasma weapons . . . Is that enough for you? . . . This, dear readers, is the good stuff. Recommended" -- Neal Asher, author of the Agent Cormac novels, on The Lazarus War: Artefact

"A highly promising science fiction debut -- a fun, gripping adventure story, with a mystery at its core that kept me turning the pages" -- Gary Gibson on The Lazarus War: Artefact

"An adrenaline shot of rip-roaring military SF packed with cinematic action sequences and tightly drawn characters" -- Stephen Deas on The Lazarus War: Artefact

Goodreads review by Kenny on April 08, 2016

I really enjoyed this installment in the series. The author brought some new aspects to the world that really made me appreciate the multiple facets at work here. So much so that I want to upgrade my rating on the first book by a star simply because I understand a few things better now. There was ju......more

Goodreads review by Stephen on November 08, 2018

A great continuation from the first book in the trilogy. Packed with action, adventure, horror, and some weird elements where Sawyer blends the lines between reality and hallucinations. To begin with it appears as if the story will simply echo the first book but it quickly diverges from that path, b......more

[URL not allowed] La légion se passe quelques moins après les événements du premier tome. J'avais beaucoup aimé celui ci, il était prenant et m'avait bien fait frissonner. En comparaison ce second tome souffre malheureusement de la malédiction des tomes du milieu. J'ai trouvé......more
