I wanted to become 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 again… about The Light Brigade different. Grunts in the organization corps get busted down into light to travel to and from interplanetary battlefronts. Many people are changed with what the corps must do to be able to break them down into light. Those who survive learn to adhere 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 poor drops tell a story of the battle that’s not at all what the organization brass need the soldiers to think is going on.

Is Dietz really experiencing the battle differently, or is it combat madness? Seeking to untangle memory space from mission brief and survive with sanity intact, Dietz is preparing to become a hero—or possibly a villain; in war it’s hard to inform the difference.
