The Alpha Legion and the Cabal — books on the story line
The Alpha Legion and the Cabal
Two connected but distinct strands: Alpharius and Omegon’s strategy, and the Cabal’s actions. For the Alpha Legion conspiracy, read Legion → The Serpent Beneath → Praetorian of Dorn: the scheme develops across separate operations, not one continuous mission. Reading order gives the Cabal and Grammaticus a separate path through Traoris and Macragge to Old Earth. Background stories and independent operations remain alongside the core without mandatory Next links.
