His past is hunting him--and she won´t take no for an answer. Thinker, once a proud soldier, bulwark against the enemies of humanity, and fearless immortal--is now a dishwasher trapped on a dismal collective System world without even his own memories to comfort him. Tortured by dreams of people he has never met, he will be returned to the clinic if he fails to adjust to life on the outside--and his adjustment is not going well. Although required to submit, he just killed a man trying to rob him...and it felt good. To make matters worse, the band of ruthless killers known as the Legion he was taught to fear, is after him...and he has no idea why.

REVIEWS "I'm always excited to find a new addition to the Soldier of the Legion Series in my mailbox. The characters in this series seem like old friends to me now, and I'm eager to discover what sort of dangers they might encounter. I'm not a sci fi devotee, but this series is so imaginative, so well written and rich in imagery that I find myself devouring every page. ..It has everything: memorable, courageous heroes who are all but immortal thanks to biotechnology; fierce battle action on hostile worlds; ghastly creatures bent on eliminating all humans; and, most of all, this series of books has heart and hope for all who read them.
