The Suicide Squad for lovers of Aliens, a thrilling new down-and-dirty military SF series set in a world of mercenary actions and covert operations.

Four hundred years in the future, the most dangerous criminals are kept in suspended animation aboard prison ships and "rehabilitated" in a shared virtual reality environment. But Miska Corbin, a thief and hacker with a background in black ops, has stolen one of these ships, the Hangman's Daughter, and made it her own. Controlled by explosive collars and trained in virtual reality by the electronic ghost of a dead marine sergeant, the thieves, gangsters, murderers, and worse are transformed into Miska's own private indentured army: the Bastard Legion.

Are the mercenaries just for fun and profit, or does Miska have a hidden purpose connected to her covert past?

Industry Reviews

The characters are well drawn, the action fluid, fast, and excellently written - Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke-award-winning author of Children of Time

High octane SF adventure with Smith's trademark twist - Jamie Sawyer

Gloriously action-packed and often brutal military SF adventure . . . The complex plot twists and double-crosses are as exciting as the detailed descriptions of violent combat . . This series launch will keep readers turning pages, eager to see what bloody adventure awaits and how the legion develops into a force to be reckoned with - Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW

While the action scenes are a pure highlight of the novel . . . Miska's story [...] gives The Bastard Legion something more than just action set pieces, raising it to something well worth reading. - SFFWorld

Incredibly action packed . . . I was totally hooked - FeelingFictional.com

This was a scifi novel like no other. Really good world building, inventive story line and well developed characters made for some late night reading. - (5 stars) Goodreads reviewer
