Description

Soldiers are broken into light and sent to the frontline of a brutal interplanetary war, in this brilliant military SF from the Hugo Award­­-winning author of The Stars Are Legion.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 broken into light, travelling from interplanetary battlefronts. Everyone is changed by what the corps must do. Those who survive learn to stick to the mission brief — no matter what happens during combat. Dietz, a fresh recruit in the infantry, begins to experience combat drops which don’t sync up with the platoon’s. And the bad drops tell a story of war that’s not 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 survive with sanity intact, Dietz is ready to become a hero — or maybe even a villain. In war it’s hard to tell the difference.

“Badass.”– John Scalzi, bestselling author of Old Man’s War“Hurley is one of the most important voices in the field, and The Light Brigade is some of her best work. This is the real thing.” – James SA Corey, author of The Expanse Series"Highly recommended for not only SF fans but anyone interested in a thrilling and troubling vision of the future."  – BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW)"The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley is damn near perfect."– Tor.com"Rereads will be both necessary and desirable." – KIRKUS (STARRED REVIEW)"This book is both a gripping story of future warfare and an incisive antiwar fable.
