Summary:

"'The war has turned us into light. Transforming us into light is the fastest way to travel from one front to another, and there are many fronts, now. I always wanted to be a hero. I always wanted to be on the side of light. It's funny how things work out.' Soldiers in the war against Mars, The Light Brigade, live brief lives, but the veterans are starting to be affected by changes in their bodies and minds, slipping in and out of time, or are they simply going mad? From Hugo award-winning author of The Stars Are Legion is a novel about interplanetary warriors who are losing their humanity."-- Provided by publisher.

The war has turned humans into light; it is the fastest way to travel from one front to another. Soldiers in the war against Mars, The Light Brigade, live brief lives. The veterans are starting to be affected by changes in their bodies and minds, slipping in and out of time... or are they simply going mad? Dietz, a fresh recruit, experiences combat drops that don't sync up with the platoon. And he's learning about a war that's not at all what the corporate brass want the soldiers to think it is. -- adapted from publisher info and jacket
