Pride of Man

Book 2 of Legacy of Man
Pride of Man follows the story of Marcus Cesari and the events that occurred before Legacy of Man and Charlie's story.
Marcus Cesari was nothing special, just an average guy trying to make a living for himself. But everything changed when a group of soldiers from a nearby army base decided to make something of him.
Marcus is ordinary, but he's about to become extraordinary.
All Marcus has ever done is stand up for himself. Sure he has his faults, but who doesn't?
Operation Legacy, a highly secretive, top secret program designed to make human beings more than they could've ever imagined possible.
Intense training that takes Marcus and the rest of the recruits to the very boundaries of the human condition, a distant alien war which the human race has no business being involved in and a surprise visit from a very lizard-like alien doctor.
Pride of man is the legend of Marcus Cesari. Join him and the Seventy-First squad and discover why his name echoes across the universe.
Can be read as a standalone, but is better read to follow Charlie's story in Legacy of Man
