SCIENCE FICTIONOrder of the Centurion
By Jason Anspach & Nick Cole
8 total booksONGOING
The Order of the Centurion is the highest military decoration in the Galaxy's Edge universe — awarded only to those who perform acts of extraordinary heroism above and beyond the call of duty. Each book in this series is a standalone military sci-fi novel, set across different eras of the Galaxy's Edge timeline — from the brutal Savage Wars to the corrupt age of the Republic — and each one earns its title.
Anspach and Cole conceived the series as an anthology of excellence: every book brought in a co-author with deep military fiction credentials to tell a different story from a different corner of the universe. Jonathan Yanez, Richard Fox, J.R. Handley, Josh Hayes, Peter Nealen, Walt Robillard, and Blaine Pardoe each bring their own voice to the legionnaire universe while staying true to the world's DNA.
If you've read the main Galaxy's Edge series and want more — more units, more eras, more of the Legion at its best and worst — this is where you go next. Each book stands alone. Read in any order.
SHARED UNIVERSE
Part of the Galaxy's Edge universe. Each book is standalone — you don't need to have read the main series, but if you have, the world-building rewards you. The series spans multiple eras and units, united by the award that gives it its name. Read in publication order or pick any entry as a starting point.
