The Sleeping Legion Deluxe Box Set Kindle Edition

by J.R. Handley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 234 ratings
Centuries ago, a million children were offered up as tribute to Earth’s alien overlords.

Today, augmented, armed, and brutalized, their descendants have become the Human Marine Corps. Secret forces have been hiding an army of Marines in cryo-sleep since the beginning.

When the empire breaks apart in civil war, the Sleeping Legion is unleashed, and unlikely figures of destiny emerge. Heroes such as Lance Scipio.

Soon, even emperors on distant worlds will learn the name Scipio.

The complete Sleeping Legion series by army veteran J.R. Handley is available in this eBook box set, including author’s notes, artwork, and the exclusive new prequel story ‘Trial by Fire’. That’s over 400,000 words of military science fiction adventure.

Lance is ready to play his part.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

    Full of needless details and short on story. Author seems obsessed with needless violence and handicapped by its repetitive use. Quite a chore to read but managed to force it to the end. No need to read this unless your a glutton for punishment.

    I read the first novel alone & really enjoyed it, I didn’t go back until I brought the 2nd novel but then saw the deluxe box set & read it all the way through, it is really well written, I highly recommend it for those of us who like this type of story.
    I brought both of the earlier boxed sets & I am going to read them all in order, I can’t comment on how the other authors have written their stories as of now, but I look forward to more from this galaxy.

    Reading the box set was heavy going, focussed as it was on continuous combat. A little more exploration of both the characters and the role that humans played in their limited position in a totalitarian White Knight society would have been useful. So, good, but could have been so much better.
