What he's never had before is a partner who can hold two hundred frightened minds steady while he holds the door - First Sergeant Elias Cole, the quiet, unassuming "Legion commander" nobody in town ever looked at twice, about to prove exactly why that was always a mistake."The dead don't negotiate.
