Eleven year-old Ross can’t stand life on the Dominion homeworld of Tarsonis. Sure, the capital of terran
civilization offers plenty to do, but Ross’s adoptive parents are terrible, terrible people. His “motherâ€
is a staunch disciplinarian who makes him eat, sleep, and go to school in the bathroom and complete 5-mile
forced marches while carrying his fat brother in a backpack. And his “father†is an insufferable despot and
the reigning All-Districts Hate Crimes champion.
But one day, Ross receives a private holo-vid invitation. It says that he’s special, and offers him a
scholarship to study at the secret military academy of the Emperor’s Legion, the elite retinue of terran
special operatives that his parents—his REAL parents—once served with. When he accepts, Ross’s whole life
changes.
Ross’s natural greatness sets him on the fast-track at the Legion military academy. Despite being an
emotionally perplexed creature with an underdeveloped sense of self-control and no real life experience, he’s
put in charge of the famous Fourth Squad that his dad used to lead. And not a moment too soon.
When all of the Legion’s officers and their husbands and wives decide to go on an irresponsible extended
holiday, the nightmarish alien zerg descend on Tarsonis in droves. Ross is the only soldier in the entire
Dominion military with enough bravado and drive to save the planet from annihilation!
