A Fighting Chance provides a fine novel of the Legion of the Damned and is a pick for any serious military science fiction collection. It offers a conclusion to the saga begun in prior books and tells of a universe where earth has fallen against aliens and where all left must band together in a last effort to prevent annihilation. Major Antonio Santana is called upon to head the mission against one of the alien installations, but his encounter with the planet's civil war will change the face of the entire conflict.
