Four Horsemen Tales, Book 1

2018 Dragon Award Finalist for Best Military Sci-Fi Novel

In the era of the original Four Horsemen, there comes a Legend.

At a time when Humans were just starting to venture forth into the Galactic Union as mercenaries, Martin Quincy survived long enough to do something no one else had - he retired.

There was only one problem: He got bored.

After battling aliens for many years - killing aliens and getting paid - retirement didn’t suit him, and he decided to strap on the combat armor and go back to the stars. Along with his old friend Kal, Martin joined Cartwright’s Cavaliers, humanity’s best merc company. Life was exciting!

But he got bored. Again.

What does a "legend" do when even the merc life gets boring? He starts his own company! Can Martin form a merc company out of non-merc races and stand up for the downtrodden of the galaxy, or has his long string of good luck finally run out? One thing is for sure - with Torvasi and Andori troopers, and a Sirra’Kan princess as his partner, he won’t get bored again!

Includes Shattered Crucible, a bonus novella in The Four Horsemen series.

a good solid 8 hours of Syfy futuristic military d

this book does a wonderful job of describing a future in which Earth has been ushered into the age of interstellar travel and finds that the only commodity that it has which can compete on the universal market against the existing commodities is that of mercenary for hire this is an excellent book and the 8 hours you spend listening to it will fly by!

Great Sci-fi Story

ill admit I'm not so big into sci-fi fantasy, however I really enjoyed the second half of the book. really got into it, and left me feeling like I should redo the entire book and give it a bit more focus from the start.

Just the best

I am deep into the 4hu and never written a review after dozens of books BUT Legend was, as a milscifi loving vet had this make me chuckle, reminiscing and loved the characters, the broad time span, small flash backs and discovering more and more about THE LEGEND ... For those who have served in combat you will feel the banter, humour and terrible inappropriateness of the military gallows humour and deep comradrie of the squad and for me this book kept me on the edge of my seat worrying about the team as they dived into the usual 4hu trouble but I really cared for each of them. So many situations and events therefore themselves into or experienced was not all running and running but the MC is a LEGEND!!
I know it's just a tale but dam it was such a joy to listen to. RECOMMENDED .... I do hope I hear about them some more in one of the dozens of more books!

Where to start ?

Where to start is my first thought.... I'm a fan of the narrator so once saw he was reading the narrator I knew I'd love it. Future sci-fi is always a fun subject, you never know where it may go.

"The Legend".... lol every time I hear this I laugh, I love the sarcasm of these main character. Please keep the story going. I can't get enough of it. I've listened to this audiobook many times and it never gets old.

highly recommended

I highly recommend this book and the four horseman series as a whole.

some men are born legends
some luck into it. some do it despite their intentions.

Loved it

It was a slow start but it ended up to be a really good book

great book

I really like this book it's a book that you can listen to a hundred times I've listened to a few other ones that are in the series I wish you'd bring these characters back so we can hear more about the legend

Give it a couple chapters, worth it.

A little tough to follow all the details at first but I ended up really enjoying it.

New Cowboys in space

wasn't sure about the book at first, off world cowboys fighting aliens, but it really grabs you, i couldn't put it down till the end and couldn't wait to start the next book, great story

Holy shit, that was one wilf ass ride!

this is by far the best 4hu book that I have listened to, yet. Hands down better than the first four books of the series. The narrator had that superhero tone to his voice that helped form and solidify the mental image for me. can't wait for the next installment of the Legend series.
