About this audiobook
2565 AD. When seventeen-year-old Marine cadet Arun McEwan forges an unlikely friendship with an alien scribe, he crashes into a world of treachery and conspiracy. How can he possibly survive three more years until graduation when every day brings a new deadly threat? But survive he must because his new alien allies show him glimpses of his destiny-a vision of a better future that only he can forge. A dream called the Human Legion.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm not especially good at writing reviews, so this will be as brief as any I've given in the past.I must first admit that I know Tim Taylor. He is a good friend of mine - but, that said, we both attend the NSFWG writer's workshop together and are quite content to pick holes in each other's work when we think it's justified!The Human Legion series of books, beginning with Marine Cadet, is one of Tim's best works to date. It is SF written in the best of traditional traditions, a solid read, well written and with an excellent plot. You can think back (if you are old enough!) to E.E. 'Doc' Smith and his Lensman series. The style of Taylor's book is not dissimilar, but the author updates that style to bring the language used to a much more modern standard.Buy yourself a copy (it's been riding high in the Amazon charts since it's recent publication. You will be joining 10's of thousands of other SF buffs who've done so.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Marine Cadet (The Human Legion Book 1)Tim C TaylorI didn't get halfway thru the first chapter before I was hooked and on an adventure like no other I have ever taken.Mr. Tim C Taylor has a way of writing that flows smoothly and seamless. Then every so often he places a bomb. He places them with the expertise of a seasoned author, which just sinks the hook deeper. He has a great since of timing, you never know when you will be laughing or cringing, you will be reading alone in the middle of a shoot out and he throws in something so funny and not expected that it makes you love the adventure even more. Or he can go in the opposite direction and the story will have the characters setting around just talking with their team and BOOM something really horrific happens and Mr. Taylor doesn't skip a beat it is seamless...smooth.He has taken the proud Marines, twisted and re-modeled them into a futuristic Branch for the conquering allies, that rule earth. They breed the human race into super Marines (fighting machines). What a concept...what a story.The pace is fast and moves at a good click. Which is in my opinion is good because I couldn't get enough of it. I enjoyed the way Mr. Taylor has put a great balance of war/fighting and personal insight into the characters and showed the camaraderie of the Marines themselves. It takes place around the year 2566 and we see what Earth has turned into. It is all orchestrated into this action packed science fiction series.You can't go wrong picking this book up for a read and if you get hooked, like I did, I hear Book 2, Indigo Squad (The Human Legion Book 2) is now out. I for one, am very glad this is an ongoing series, I'm enjoying the adventure. You can also join the Human Legion on-line and get updates and communications from and for the Indigo Squad. You get the the inside scoop.Thank you Mr Taylor for another great adventure that is just starting and giving me the time of my life in space.
