Seeker and the Pathways of the Gods — Marshall S. Thomas

Immortality and Death on the Pathways of the GodsIn a dark future the Confederation of Free Worlds is over-run by enemies both foreign and domestic. The ship of state is adrift, riding stormy seas, guided by subversives who hate the people of ConFree and seek the total destruction of the Confederation. National suicide is government policy. The NewFam invaders have seized control of much of society. The people are weak, helpless and leaderless, stunned by close to a hundred years of relentless hateprop from the alien enemy. Resistance is unthinkable. Something new and evil is emerging.A new squad of Legion recruits is thrown immediately into the battle. The future looks hopeless for ConFree. The ConFree Legion is being disbanded and merged into the People's Militia, but the Legion is not quite dead. Four hundred years of service to the people of ConFree will not disappear quietly into the night. Is it indeed too late, or will the embittered new Legion recruits risk it all to do the right thing for the women and children of ConFree?
