Legion - first US edition
by William Altmari
Legion is a stunning recreation of the life of Roman soldiers at a fort on
the Gallic frontier in the late First Century B.C. Centurion Quintus Flavius
Rufio returns to Gaul near the Rhine to finish his career with the Twenty-fifth
Legion. An invasion by the Germans is imminent, and the veteran Rufio takes
command of a century with many recruits whom he must train on the eve of the
German onslaught. Rufio's return to Gaul has a wider significance as well.
Twenty years earlier, he accidentally killed a young Gallic woman in battle.
Still haunted by this, he is confronted by her daughter, orphaned as an infant
and now an adult, and his search for redemption takes an unexpected turn in his
relationship with her.
