Attempting to open her eyes, they seemed to be glued shut as she coughed and sputtered, trying to expel the liquid. Spewing most of it, she took a breath as another wave hit her, drenching her thin hospital gown, releasing what kept her eyes closed.Attempting to raise her hand to wipe her face, her lethargic brain struggled to make her muscles move until she realized her arms and legs were tied to something. Rolling her head to the side, she forced heavy-lidded eyes to open. Searching the blurry, nondescript room, she landed on an outline of a man shrouded in cigar smoke, its acrid odor singeing the inside of her soggy nose. Then? A distant alarm began to trill . . ."

Who stands as the model of the ideal legionnaire? >Only one legionnaire qualifies. General Rex. The general has become more myth than man. More fable than real. The Legion he led to victory in the Savage Wars followed his example of warrior perfection and absolute duty unto death to save humanity while painting glory across the stars. The Legion was his legacy; it cemented the legend of Tyrus Rex. But Rex also founded another, far less well-known organization: a small unit of shadowy covert operators who left only his invisible signature as their calling card. Dark Ops. Kel Turner's achievements in Dark Ops could be the stuff of legend too-were they known to any but the few who witnessed them. So when the most respected operator in their ranks leaves the Legion, no one is more puzzled than the very figures of rectitude and honor he draws inspiration from daily: the flesh-and-blood operators Kel admires more than Rex himself. Rex was the perfect legionnaire. But in a galaxy missing its savior, there's one dark operator worthy of inheriting the title of deadliest weapon in the Legion arsenal. And his name is Kel Turner.
