Legion of the Lost

Legion of the Lost

"Legion of the Lost" is a novel by American writer Jaime Salazar, about an American in the French Foreign Legion. It was published by Penguin Putnam in August 2005.

Plot introduction

It tells the story of Jaime, a bored and self-described corporate cog. In a quest to seek solace from a faceless corporate existence, he joined the French Foreign Legion, known to be the world’s toughest army. He experiences brutality, adventure, and an uncompromising camaraderie. This is the story of his life in the mysterious "Army of Strangers". In a "2008 Foreword" addition on the book’s website, Salazar puts into perspective his reckless weekend behavior, notably that with women, into the context of a typical young man’s military life. He neither condones such libertine amorous behavior then or now.
