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.

“[A] thought-provoking space opera.” —Kirkus Reviews “One of the most unusual and powerfully disturbing space operas we’re likely to see this year.” —Chicago Tribune Set within a system of decaying world-ships travelling through deep space, this breakout novel of epic science fiction follows a pair of sisters who must wrest control of their war-torn legion of worlds—and may have to destroy everything they know in order to survive.Somewhere on the outer rim of the universe, a mass of decaying world-ships known as the Legion is traveling in the seams between the stars. Here in the darkness, a war for control of the Legion has been waged for generations, with no clear resolution. Zan wakes with no memory, prisoner of a people who say there are her family. She is told she is their salvation, the only person capable of boarding the Mokshi, a world-ship with the power to leave the Legion. But Zan’s new family is not the only one desperate to gain control of the prized ship. Zan finds that she must choose sides in a genocidal campaign that will take her from the edges of the Legion’s gravity well to the very belly of the world. In the tradition of Iain M. Banks’s Culture novels and Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber, Kameron Hurley has created an epic and thrilling tale about tragic love, revenge, and war as imagined by one of our most celebrated new writers.

"Sie sagten, der Krieg würde uns in Licht verwandeln. Ich wollte zu jenen Helden gehören, die uns diese bessere Welt geschenkt haben." Die Lichtbrigade - so nennen Veteranen des Marskriegs diejenigen Kameraden, die zurückkommen … und nicht mehr sie selbst sind. Diese Konzern-Kämpfer wurden in Licht umgewandelt, um schnell zu interplanetaren Schlachtfeldern versetzt werden zu können. Doch bei dieser Transformation geschieht etwas mit ihnen. Diejenigen, die die Prozedur überleben, halten sich exakt an die Missionsvorgaben – koste es was es wolle. Dietz, ein frischgebackener Infanterist, muss feststellen, dass seine Erinnerungen an die Einsätze nicht mit denen seines Zuges übereinstimmen. Sie erzählen eine ganz andere Geschichte des Krieges, die ganz und gar nicht dem entspricht, was die Konzernleitung ihren Soldaten weismachen will. Licht oder Schatten? In den Wirren des Krieges ist der Unterschied manchmal nur noch marginal.
