Some things may change but war never does.

Humanity has colonized stars, discovered alien life and staved off an apocalypse of it's own creation; heroes and legends rose from that galaxy spanning conflict, but now things are stuck in the same day-in, day-out patterns.

When fifteen-year old Reginald Reid is given the chance to escape a mundane life spent farming in the hydroponics stacks of his home city to take up soldiering, he thought he would get to see the stars instead he got years of grinding trench warfare. With the dead and broken all around him, he'll do what he must to stand apart for the common soldier if he ever wants to get off world in his lifetime-no matter how short it may be.

Through the eyes of young Reginald Reid you'll see the world of this corporate dystopia as it is behind the flashing lights and high-tech glamours. A world of hardship and financial indenturement, one where soldiers march through the red mud wastes of No Man's Land to fight an enemy not for king or country but for their corporate masters.

Fans of Military Sci-Fi and Historic Military Fiction will be delighted to be dropped down into the corpse-strewn trenches alongside compelling characters as they endure the ravages of war and resolve to keep pressing forward in this gritty Sci-Fi narrative told by an exceptional infantryman.
