The Legion Under the Hill

Legion #1

by Sawyer Black

Can a world-weary vet keep his small town together when aliens arrive?

Richard Helms doesn’t believe he deserves to be happy. His new business, the Bottom of the Hill Bar and Grill, is booming. There’s even the possibility of a romance with the local veterinarian who helped him nurse his pet raccoon back to health. But for the 32-year-old war vet, permanently injured by a roadside bomb, all this success and happiness is too much.

So when an alien invasion turns his small town of Hollow Hills, Ohio, into a hotbed of corruption and violence, Richard is sure this is the perfect time to go out in a blaze of glory.

But nothing is that easy when aliens come calling.

Legion Under the Hill is the first book in Sawyer Black’s new Legion series, set in the bestselling Invasion Universe. If you are looking for a dark, action-packed thrill ride reminiscent of Under the Dome and Alien Nation, you’ll love Legion Under the Hill. Pick up your copy today!

I really enjoyed this foray into the Invasion Universe, I must admit that this is the first book by Sawyer Black that I have read but it won’t be the last!

His writing style is easy to read and flows nicely, the characters are well rounded and believable.

Once I got into the book (chapter one) I couldn’t put it down and I’m going to start book two straight away.

You won’t be disappointed with this book at all unless you want a lot of alien action as the don’t feature much as this story is set at the beginning as the aliens are on their way.

Having said that there is a great build up to the inevitable Invasion and it’s nice to get to know the main players before the proverbial hits the fan!

Well, I’ve been enjoying the books in the Invasion universe, and really wanted to be able to rate this one higher. Unfortunately, I felt as though it was just introducing characters and leading me to the next book without giving me a whole lot in this one. I don’t mind a series set-up, but I would’ve liked a bit more in this one. I also expect a lot from the authors in this group, and there were quite a few editing issues in this one. Repeated words and sentences, as well as the usual editing misses that are so prevalent these days. I’ll read the next book, but will be hoping it gets a more careful edit.
