The Polema Campaign — David Adams

Lieutenant Marcus Servus, officer and prisoner of the Penal Legion, serves on the desert world of Polema, the final bastion of the outer colonies. He and his soldiers, scum of the colonies, stand against insectoid boogeymen from another galaxy.

Marcus has a gift. A curse. An edge against the Myriad: he hears music. Songs in his head guide him, granting him knowledge and foresight, a weapon against the alien hordes.

The music is his ally, but who plucks the strings?

War rages on Polema, and Marcus's men hold the balance of power in their hands.

Book one of the Symphony of War series.
