Marshall S. Thomas

My name is Marshall S. Thomas and I am the author of the six-part Soldier of the Legion science fiction series, set in the far future, and also a second series, Prophet of ConFree. I recently completed writing the sixth book in the second series which will be published in a few months.

I love writing and write for the sheer joy of it. I was turned on to science fiction in the late '50s as a teenager and wanted to write SF from that moment. I didn't have the skills to do it until my early 40s when I began the first series. I had almost completed the series when it dawned on me that I had put so much work into it that I really should try to have it published. An astonishing number of rejection letters followed but as I improved my writing and did plenty of rewriting I finally found my first publisher in Timberwolf Press. I've had other publishers since then, but at present I am independently publishing my books.

I studied at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, the University of New Mexico and the University of Miami (Government/International Affairs and History) and then spent 35 years in East Asia. I am currently retired and live in Willliamburg, VA with my wife Kim Lien. We have two children. The first is an arts graduate of Radford University and the second is a biochemistry grad of Virginia Tech now working in NYC.

My first publisher, Timberwolf, also produced a spectacular unabridged, full-cast audio of the first book. The full audio can be found on my newly updated website: https://soldierofthelegion.com.

I now have written a new SF series, Prophet of ConFree. All six books of the Soldier series and the first five books of the Prophet series are available on my website as well as online at the usual places. Please check out my website; it's awesome.

Happy reading! MST.
