Publisher's summary

2018 Dragon Award Finalist for Best Military Sci-Fi Novel

In the era of the original Four Horsemen, there comes a Legend.

At a time when Humans were just starting to venture forth into the Galactic Union as mercenaries, Martin Quincy survived long enough to do something no one else had - he retired.

There was only one problem: He got bored.

After battling aliens for many years - killing aliens and getting paid - retirement didn’t suit him, and he decided to strap on the combat armor and go back to the stars. Along with his old friend Kal, Martin joined Cartwright’s Cavaliers, humanity’s best merc company. Life was exciting!

But he got bored. Again.

What does a "legend" do when even the merc life gets boring? He starts his own company! Can Martin form a merc company out of non-merc races and stand up for the downtrodden of the galaxy, or has his long string of good luck finally run out? One thing is for sure - with Torvasi and Andori troopers, and a Sirra’Kan princess as his partner, he won’t get bored again!

Includes Shattered Crucible, a bonus novella in The Four Horsemen series.

a good solid 8 hours of Syfy futuristic military d

this book does a wonderful job of describing a future in which Earth has been ushered into the age of interstellar travel and finds that the only commodity that it has which can compete on the universal market against the existing commodities is that of mercenary for hire this is an excellent book and the 8 hours you spend listening to it will fly by!

Great Sci-fi Story

ill admit I'm not so big into sci-fi fantasy, however I really enjoyed the second half of the book. really got into it, and left me feeling like I should redo the entire book and give it a bit more focus from the start.

Where to start ?

Where to start is my first thought.... I'm a fan of the narrator so once saw he was reading the narrator I knew I'd love it. Future sci-fi is always a fun subject, you never know where it may go.

"The Legend".... lol every time I hear this I laugh, I love the sarcasm of these main character. Please keep the story going. I can't get enough of it. I've listened to this audiobook many times and it never gets old.

Give it a couple chapters, worth it.

A little tough to follow all the details at first but I ended up really enjoying it.

Holy shit, that was one wilf ass ride!

this is by far the best 4hu book that I have listened to, yet. Hands down better than the first four books of the series. The narrator had that superhero tone to his voice that helped form and solidify the mental image for me. can't wait for the next installment of the Legend series.
