From the Hugo Award\u00ad\u00ad\u2013winning author of\u00a0The Stars Are Legion\u00a0<\/i>comes a brand-new science fiction thriller about a futuristic war during which soldiers are broken down into light in order to get them to the front lines on Mars.<\/b><\/p>\n

They said the war would turn us into light.\u00a0<\/i>
\nI wanted to be counted among the heroes who gave us this better world.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

The Light Brigade: it\u2019s what soldiers fighting the war against Mars call the ones who come back\u2026different. 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\u2014no matter what actually happens during combat.<\/p>\n

Dietz, a fresh recruit in the infantry, begins to experience combat drops that don\u2019t sync up with the platoon\u2019s. And Dietz\u2019s bad drops tell a story of the war that\u2019s not at all what the corporate brass want the soldiers to think is going on.<\/p>\n

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\u2014or maybe a villain; in war it\u2019s hard to tell the difference.<\/p>\n

A worthy successor to classic stories like\u00a0Downbelow Station<\/i>,\u00a0Starship Troopers<\/i>, and\u00a0The Forever War<\/i>,\u00a0The Light Brigade<\/i>\u00a0is award-winning author Kameron Hurley\u2019s gritty time-bending take on the future of war.<\/p>\n
