Keith Laumer 4 hr 36 min read

A down-on-his-luck soldier of fortune answers a strange ad and ends up master of an island, a fugitive in Druid pits, and a fighter on a world galaxies away.

Keith Laumer's 1963 novel sweeps Legion from a shabby present into an ancient alien mystery of memory, immortality, and retribution that spans time and space. Fast, inventive, and endlessly propulsive, it's Laumer doing what he did best: pure narrative velocity with a puzzle at its heart. Read it for breakneck adventure SF from a master storyteller, unfolding across worlds.
