The Jungles of Ekángá--A Legionnaire Prequel Now Available for Pre-Order

My new Legionnaire novel, The Jungles of Ekángá, is now available for pre-order. Jungles is part of what may become a prequel series, telling the story of Marcus’ first command, when he is fresh out of the lycee and lacking the critical experience that will make him the man he is in the main Legionnaire series. Like the main books, the focus is on the problems of command and the difference a well-trained, highly-disciplined military unit can make, but the tone is spookier, dipping into the horror genre as Marcus comes face to face with some of the darker aspects of magic on the southern borders of the Aquilan empire.

 

Here’s the blurb:

 

25% off if pre-ordered by October 1. Long before Prefect Marcus Venandus directed the defense of the Jeweled Hills, Green Vigil Marcus led his first command into the treacherous jungles of Ekángá. As if the jungle itself wasn’t deadly enough, native warriors and shamans strike from its shadows with magic, spear and dart, while the forcibly transplanted Graeci population seethes with unrest in the supposedly civilized regions of the province. Deep in the jungle, young Marcus is about to discover how little lycee combat exercises have to do with surviving the Jungles of Ekángá.
