About this ebook series
They were Roman soldiers¾
and they were still alive because there
were no better killers in the galaxy.
The Galactics need fighters who could win battles without the aid of technology. That's why, when Rome's legions suffered disaster at Carrhae, secretive alien traders were waiting to buy them on the Persian slave market.
Now, virtually immortal, the Romans fight strange enemies on stranger worlds; and though they win every battle, the spoils of victory never include freedom. If the legionaries are ever to return to Earth, it must be through the beam weapons and force screens of their ruthless alien owners. But no matter the odds, two thousand years is a long time; the Romans are coming home.

Lots of Soldiers Work for Civilians They don't Like,
but these Romans had It Worse than Most¾
Their Commanders were Blue-Skinned Aliens!
The guilds of star-traveling merchants had strict rules to prevent their technology from falling into the hands of the natives of planets they were exploiting: military operations had to be carried out with weaponry no more complex than swords and bows.
That was no handicap to merchant princes with a galaxy to scour for military slaves to do their fighting for them. Some came to Earth for soldiers and returned to the stars with the best the planet had to offer. For over two thousands years the aliens thought they'd succeeded brilliantly¾but then things changed!
Set in the universe of Ranks of Bronze, masterful new novellas by:David DrakeEric FlintS. M. StirlingMark L Van Nameand David Weberexplore the bleeding edge between human courage and the science of alien slavemasters. The right man with a sword is just as deadly as a technician with a laser¾
And not all the blood spilled is red!
Yesterday they were the best infantry on Earth¾
Now they're going to take on the whole galaxy.
