Science Fiction
From the Hugo Award-winning author of The Stars Are
Legion comes a brand-new science fiction thriller about
a futuristic war. They said the war would turn us into light... The Light Brigade: it's what soldiers fighting the war
against Mars call the ones who come back...different. Grunts
in the corporate corps get busted down into light to travel
to and from interplanetary battlefronts. Everyone is changed
by what the corps must do in order to break them down into
light. Those who survive learn to stick to the mission
brief--no matter what actually happens during combat. Dietz, a fresh recruit in the infantry, begins to experience
combat drops that don't sync up with the platoon's. And
Dietz's bad drops tell a story of the war that's not at all
what the corporate brass want the soldiers to think it is. Is Dietz really experiencing the war differently, or is it
combat madness? Trying to untangle memory from mission brief
and survive with sanity intact, Dietz is ready to become a
hero--or maybe a villain; in war it's hard to tell the
difference. A worthy successor to classic stories like Downbelow
Station, Starship Troopers, and The Forever
War, The Light Brigade is award-winning author
Kameron Hurley's gritty time-bending take on the future of
war.
