Enjoyable for what it is-- light military space opera. Not heavy on the tech, but the characters are interesting as are the aliens, and some good battle scenes. 3 stars. Ready for the next one!
Edit: reread, 9/24. Bunch, co-author of the super Sten series, wrote several other books/series after that, including the Last Legion series. The Last Legion is a bit of a mess, with lots of POVs and such, as well as a meandering plot, but it does serve as a good introduction to the series. Our two main protagonists, Njangu Yoshitaro and Garvin Jaansma, start the novel signing up for the Confederation Army, the former to avoid jail, and the latter to escape some other 'troubles'.
The Confederation, spanning 1000s of planets and existing for over a 1000 years, seems to be on the verge of collapse, with entire systems proclaiming independence and others experiencing riots and so forth. Njangu and Garvin get shipped to the ass end of the empire, the Cumbre system, where they will undergo their training with 'Strick Force Swift Lance', essentially the military presence in the system. Their transport ship, however, gets hijacked on the way at the next system from Cumbre, but our protagonists manage to escape and finally reach Cumbre in a lifeboat. Well, the situation on Cumbre is precarious, as local rebels from the down-trodden mine workers start their 'movement' and the neighboring system that hijacked the transport seems bent on taking over. Worse, the system stops hearing from the Confederation entirely, so it seems the strike force is on their own. Bunch also brings in some aliens, who also have some mining interests in the planets, ones pretty obviously modeled on Niven's Kzin (cat-like), who also might have some interest in taking over the system...
Obviously, this installment works as a set up for later sequels, but still, Bunch manages to bring some closure to it. The rebels begin to engage in guerilla warfare, which parallel the Vietnam war; no surprise there as Bunch served in the military then and it shows. Bunch knows military and this book contains tons of slang and jargon that take a minute to sort. For whatever reason, Bunch decided to toss in lots of gratuitous sex, usually involving sexy, willing redheads (what is it about redheads in science fiction?) and while not blatantly misogynous, having several women throw themselves at our protags did not really add much to the story. Fun stuff if you are in the mood for some good pulpy action. 3 shooting stars!

Bunch was one of the writing pair (with Alan Cole) who wrote the "Sten" series. Reading this book, the first of a series, gives me a good idea of who was responsible for what: Bunch handled the battle scenes, the tech, and the sex; Cole wrote the actual story.
The title refers to a Confederation military unit, posted to a distant world, and having to deal (very rapidly) with both the Confederation collapsing behind it, and threats from local insurrections, alien warriors, and a neighboring warlord. Bunch trots out bits of ancient Rome and recent Guatemala and Columbia, but it’s Viet Nam that takes center stage, as the (sometimes inept, but ultimately heroic) Confederation (Americans) helps defend the (corrupt) rulers of the Cumbre System (South Viet Nam) from the local insurgents (the Viet Cong, with a bit of Islamist fanaticism thrown in).
When Bunch is writing military scenes, it works pretty well. But the apparent main protagonists — some not-so-raw recruits who find themselves on the last ship to Cumbre — never really stand out, especially amidst a cast of zillions, many of whom tended to blur together before they were wiped out at the climax. And outside of battle, things turn into stereotypes of hard-boozing, sex-starved soldiery all too quickly, and unsatisfyingly.
This book was Sten without the main players on stage, and without much of the fun, or imagination. If you’re a fan of the space war genre, it’s just tolerable. Otherwise, borrow it or skip it.

Decent military SciFi, good in the tech and battles on two different planets. Story and plot less good outside of actual combat. Has kind of a Vietnam-type insurgency flavor, with a hide-bound military trying to put down guerilla warfare. Two main characters escaping from the crumbling Confederation arrive and join the Intel and Recce (I&R) company, an engaging bunch of misfits who fight outside the rules. Good and bad characters on each side with a small, militarily-competent alien outpost on the mining world, mainly thrown in to set up a sequel. Mind candy good for a few hours of diversion. 3 Stars

Absolutely riveting and intensely exciting this brilliant book is a must-read!
Chris Bunch certainly knows how to mould his heroes and capture the essence of science-fiction at its very best. Fans of ‘Transformers’ and ‘X-Men’ will absolutely love this thrilling tale, full of fast-paced action and intergalactic happenings. The world, split into factions, reminded me of Young Adult novel ‘Divergent’ in which law and order is split into separate segments under various ruling. The Last Legion: book 1 is the first installment within a four book series (firemask, stormforce and homefall) which transports you to a world wrought with war, heated conflict and terrible battles. Character-driven and fueled by electric tension and explosive drama, I plunged into a dynamic tale at a run and which maintained its momentum throughout hence leaving you breathless. If you delight in danger, compelling drama and gripping storylines then I cannot recommend a better author.
Last stand between hope and chaos…
In the turbulent age of the human confederation empire, a forgotten branch of the army patrols the farthest reaches of civilization. And as the volatile confederation begins to implode, they become humanity’s hope for the future – the men and women of the last legion.
A fresh batch of recruits are shipped to the frontier planets of the Cumbre system. Their job is to keep the peace – among the ruling class, the local aliens, and a terrorist faction bent on revolution. But when the confederation falls silent – and the hit-and-run violence of the rebels escalates – the army becomes the law. And a planet on the edge of nowhere will set the stage for the crumbling empire’s final stand…
This apocalyptic, end-of-the-world sci-fi spectacular which spans across the galaxies through time and space is simply astonishing. The nail-biting tension between the different races is so intense that you will be sat on the edge of your seat in suspense, glued to the pages as such unexpected drama unfolds. It is a tale of domineering power where planets inhabitants collide in order to either oppose one another, or fight for control, or to join ranks and fight for freedom as they make their last stand. Nothing is sure and knowing whom to trust, what to believe and what action to take is never clear…but the moral implication behind this book is entrenched within its roots.
This thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced, action-packed story is sci-fi at its best.

Not bad military sci fi, but not great military sci fi. For me, David Weber is the standard for all military sci fi writers and books and this author and this book don't even come close. Not remotely. However, that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable to a certain degree. The book is about two characters -- Garvin Jaansma and Njangu Yoshitaro -- who join the Confederation's military Force out of desperation and are shipped to the galaxy's outer planet of Cumbre. On their way, the ship is hijacked by pirates and they escape with a third man and make their way to the planet where they join their new military mates in Strike Force Swift Lance. The book is about their adventures with aliens, pirates, local rich people, murderous rebels who they get into a violent war with, etc. There's a lot of action, although it's not as good or as detailed as Weber. And there's a lot of sex too, although not too graphic. Which was sometimes distracting. The Confederation presumably falls apart, or at least they lose contact with it, and with that any chance for new troops and supplies, and find themselves surrounded by enemies. What will happen? Well, there's a minimal sense of closure in this book, but not much, as this is merely the first book of a new series. As far as "sci fi" goes, there's not much science. There is some effort at character development though, so I give the author credit for that. Some of the battles are hair brained, though, and I've got to wonder how the hell he came up with them. I wonder what branch of the military he served in and in what capacity? Whatever the case, it's a fairly light, quick read and cautiously recommended, although not highly. Decent book. Not great, not good, but decent.

Start of the series, enjoyed the read as characters were developed. Looking forward to reading Book 2 to really get a feel for the story.

Not as actioned packed as I thought. It was a great book but there were a lot of character and story development throughout the entire book with action sprinkled here and there.

A solid sci-fi series. The knowledge of military engagements from Chris Bunch shines through, and I did appreciate the parallels to the last legion motif for the last Roman legion in Britannia.

The two genres may be closely linked, but there aren't many writers who can boast series in both the fantasy and science fiction genres. Dragons and star fighters may both have wings and both breathe fire, of a fashion, but most authors write about one or the other. Anne McCaffrey's "Brain Ship" books mark her out as an exception and, with a "Dragonmaster" series behind him before this, the first in a "Last Legion" quartet, so is Chris Bunch.
Njangu Yoshitaro is a small-time criminal who is captured going about his work and given a chance to join the Army as an alternative to jail. Garvin Jaansma is a young man who seems sign up on impulse. Petr Kipchak is a former soldier who preferred being in the Army to being out of it and so has re-enlisted.
The three are thrown together on their Troopship out to the distant Cumbre system, managing to escape when space pirates capture it. They make it to Cumbre and start their service at the worst possible moment; the planet has recently lost contact with the Confederation, the 'Raum who do all the menial work are starting to revolt and the Protector of neighbouring system Larix and Kura is keen to extend his empire.
We follow the recruits through their basic training and as they discover that the old saying about nice girls loving sailors also applies to Confederation soldiers. It's not all fun, however, and when the real work and the real danger starts, we get to see that as well. The Army has to try and put down the rebellion with ancient equipment and insufficient numbers, as well as a lack of support from the Confederation.
"The Last Legion" is a fast paced read pretty much the whole way through, although it does start a little slower and there is a part in the middle where it does drop a little. For much of the book, however, there is barely time to draw breath, much as it must feel in the heat of battle. The recruits are thrown from situation to situation and we're carried along for the ride.
There were a couple of points where things were less than ideal, however. The copy I read had a number of spelling and printing errors, which was quite distracting but is hopefully just an issue with a single copy or print run and would be rare. The other issue was that Bunch has a habit of switching between characters forenames and surnames at will, irrespective of who is addressing them and often within the same paragraph, which can get a little confusing. I did have to check back a couple of times to make sure the two names that were being used did refer to the same character. This does become less of an issue the more you read, as you get to know which names go together to form a single character.
The nature of the book makes it one to borrow rather than buy, as once you've read it, there's not enough depth to make it worth re-reading. However, it is so much fun, that it's definitely worth reading that once, especially if you've enjoyed Bunch's "Sten" and "Star Risk" series or something like Jack Campbell's "Lost Fleet" series. I'd suggest that this is aimed more at teenagers than a more adult audience, although there are a few sex scenes that may make it unsuitable for younger readers.
This isn't high literature, but it certainly is high entertainment. Whilst not the best writing you'll ever see, it's a gripping enough story to keep you reading and enjoying yourself. Bunch has also done very well in leaving enough open ended that the reader ends up knowing that there are situations needing resolution and setting them up perfectly for the other books in the quartet. You can read this book on its own, but Bunch has ensured that you don't really want to and if the rest of the quartet can keep up the level of pace and excitement, it will be a very entertaining series.

An exciting science fiction/action tale reminiscent of Poul Anderson's "Time Patrol" series. The story concerns two friends -- Garvin Jaansma, a naive young man, and Njangu Yoshitaro, a petty criminal with a "jail or military" option -- who find themselves assigned to Strike Force Swift Lance in the distant Cumbre system after barely escaping capture by pirates.
The book follows their personal and military adventures and comes with all the standard action cliches -- Jaansma pretending to be one of the murderous rebels and having to clear his name; Yoshitaro dealing with an old lover; ruthless rebels who seem to deserve a violent beat-down and even the obligatory romance between the commoner (Jaansma) and the daughter (Jasith Mellusin) of one of D-Cumbre's richest men.
Author Chris Bunch (who passed away in 2005) did a good job developing the character of Jaansma and Yoshitaro. He also does a commendable job with the various supporting characters like Jasin, Caud Williams, Peter Kipchak and a few others, though the alien 'Raum, D-Cumbre's indigenous species, need some work.
The action is excellent and believable.
The only real down part is the ending. Yes, the good guys win but Jaansma's relationship with Jasin goes south for the strangest of reasons. Not that such a reason couldn't exist, but because it seemed to be in the book simply to create the need for a sequel (there are at least three more books in the series). It seemed abrupt and left me feeling as if Jaansma should go for a different romance in future novels.
Bunch has written better, especially the "Sten" series. And, again, Poul Anderson's "Time Patrol" saga holds up much better than "Last Legion."

Somewhere between David Drake and John Ringo (oh, John Ringo, no!) on the scale of mediocre mil-SF writers lies Chris Bunch. The Last Legion is an eminently forgettable book about two to five (see, I've forgotten already) young men and women who join up with a military unit that is pretty much exactly like an American Air Cavalry Division, circa Vietnam, except that they're stuck at the ass end of the galaxy defending an exploitative and racist plutocracy. That, and the collapse of the galactic empire, and immanent invasion by hostile aliens and expansionist warlords doesn't seem to matter much, as our protagonists gripe their way through bootcamp, beat up armed muggers, take on 10 times their number in firefights, and sleep with improbably well-endowed young women. I'd call the combat sequences awkward and incoherent, but then I wouldn't know how to describe the sex scenes. The whole book reads like a pastiche of Starship Trooper pastiches. It's not even so bad it's good, just thoroughly dull. At least I don't get the sense that the author was typing one-handed at any point.

I loved this book.
Science fiction based story about new recruits in a fighting force at the end of an empire (both the geographic end of the empire and the 'time' or final curtain call end of an empire).
The whole series (there are four books) compares favorably to the William Henry Giles Kingston books, the Three Midshipmen thru the Three Admirals and the Brotherhood of War series by WEB Griffin.
Excellent reading, that keeps you engaged and you will not want to put it down. The story includes violence (it is a war book), and alien swear words (so they don't count) and some sexual situations (which are pretty minor and nuanced).

A space transport carrying recruits from the Confederation to an out laying world is captured by pirates. Only three manage to escape to their destination using a lifeboat. The world they are stationed on has a rigid class system. When a revolt occurs they are caught in the middle. Plenty of combat scenes with several sexual situations.

Take a chance...it's well worth a read
I was looking for a time killer and never had read this author, and man was I pleasantly surprised. Solid writing through out with characters you come to believe in, though I felt the overall plot was a little predictable. Definitely am looking forward to the next book. Beware: the Musty are coming!

This book took a while to take off. The first 1/3 seemed to be character and situation introduction. Once that action started the novel was a quick and fun action packed read. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in the series.
September 3, 2012
A solid choice for sci fi fans. Word of warning though, the series isn't complete. I understand Mr Bunch passed away in 2005 before he completed the series so it suddenly cuts off after the fourth book.
May 28, 2009
these are my favorite books of Chris Bunch's sci-fi. I prefer most of his fantasy.
January 3, 2010
Gratuitous and action-packed.

Good action but plot lacks direction.

Have just realised that I've already read this one.
October 25, 2014
I was a little lost at the start of the book as the author would switch from first name to last name every other sentence but once I caught on who was who I really enjoyed the book.
August 18, 2013
Bought in desperation at a used book store. Worthless book. No technology, no creativity, and lots of gratuitous bad language.

A bit too cliché.

Good read
When you read this you can smell the flowers and feel the touch of the breeze. You will duck when the shooting starts
