Killer Shrike Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Did anyone else ever read the Last Legionary series by Douglas Hill? I was recently reminded of it and it seems to me that it presented an interesting setting for a Star HERO campaign...or at least is very minable for ideas. Anyone have a clue about the series Im talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: Last Legionary not familiar with it at all, something about a spaceborne version of the foreign legion, or something to do with the roman legions? there was 3 book series about the 5th Foreign Legion that was pretty good for low tech military SF they were written by Andrew Keith of traveller fame among other things March or Die Honor and Fidelity Lost and the Damned the 4th book was unfinished when the author died suddenly... which was a great loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: Last Legionary I remember it, KS. There were five books. The hero belongs to a planetary mercenary corps, whose is nearly killed when an enemy destroys his race/home planet. He is rebuilt with unbreakable bones by aliens who want to stop the bad guy who blew up all the mercenaries. The fifth book was an academy look at the younger hero when he was going through mandatory training. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people that replaced his skeleton to save him from radiation poisoning weren't aliens though -- they were humans from other planets. The little flying telepathic alien was just a companion.
