In this short story set in the same world as the author's novels, GOD'S WAR and INFIDEL, a young astronomer seeking to save her country's space program reveals a secret she discovered in the stars.

On the eve of a recurring catastrophic event known to extinguish nations and reshape continents, a troubled orphan evades death and slavery to uncover her own bloody past… while a world goes to war with itself.

In the frozen kingdom of Saiduan, invaders from another realm are decimating whole cities, leaving behind nothing but ash and ruin.

As the dark star of the cataclysm rises, an illegitimate ruler is tasked with holding together a country fractured by civil war, a precocious young fighter is asked to betray his family and a half-Dhai general must choose between the eradication of her father’s people or loyalty to her alien Empress.

Through tense alliances and devastating betrayal, the Dhai and their allies attempt to hold against a seemingly unstoppable force as enemy nations prepare for a coming together of worlds as old as the universe itself.

In the end, one world will rise – and many will perish.

« Un seul mot suffira : BADASS ! » John Scalzi, auteur de Le Vieil homme et la guerre.

Quelque part aux franges de l’univers, une armada de vaisseaux-mondes en sursis, connue sous le nom de Légion, glisse doucement dans les zones d’obscurité qui séparent les étoiles. Depuis des générations, des conflits très violents opposent celles qui désirent prendre le contrôle de cette flotte.

Alors que les vaisseaux-mondes se meurent, un plan désespéré est mis à l’œuvre.

Zan se réveille sans souvenir, prisonnière d’un peuple qui dit être sa famille. On lui explique qu’elle est leur seule chance de survie – la seule personne capable d’embarquer dans la Mokshi, un vaisseau-monde porteur du plus précieux des pouvoirs : celui de quitter l’armada. Mais la nouvelle famille de Zan n’est pas la seule à vouloir désespérément prendre le contrôle du vaisseau légendaire.

From the Hugo Award­­–winning author of The Stars Are Legion 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.

They said the war would turn us into light.

I wanted to be counted among the heroes who gave us this better world.

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 is going on.

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.
