Acerca de esta escucha

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. 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.

Riveting from Start to Finish

I was really blown away by this book, both the story and performance were phenomenal! If you like mind-bending time travel stories, military scifi and philosophical pondering that manages to be both thought-provoking and thrilling, this is very much the read for you... highly recommended!

a serious yet entertaining story of time travel

With political undertones and philosophical waxings this is a high energy story about time travel and freewill.

One of the best of 2019

This book was phenomenal from start to finish, great pace, complex but not overly confusing. if you like a time-bender set in a militaristic dystopian future, this will be just the thing. Narration was first class as well, Cara realty nails it!

Amazing!!!

This book has everything... interesting characters, amazing world building, with cinematic action scenes all wrapped up inside a time travel plot. Worth the credit.

Good book. Wish it stuck the landing

-Spoilers- The book is very good. Great writing, the narrator does a great job at encapsulating tone. The story is fascinating but it left me wanting more. The pace of the book was generally good, a solid feat when working with time travel. -spoilers start- That being said I wish we got a bit more of Deet’s life when it was “slowed down” similar to the pacing of training. I think I would have given the story 5 stars if we had a bit more at the end. Since the first interview I wanted to understand who this version of Deets was, but we really aren’t given the arc that leads to her final action of saving her loved ones, what was the pow camp like? How did it differ from the life she knew? Why did she choose to go from “saving the world/stopping the cycle” to just protecting her loved ones? I think those questions could have been answered in another 6 chapters. I thibk the ending dragged down this book unfortunately.

Amazing Military Sci-Fi

An amazing modern Military sci-fi. A beautiful spiritual follow-up to Heinlein's 'Staship Troopers' but elevated to the next level. Wrapping a similar story in a time travel mystery. I strongly recommend to fans of military sci-fi, time travel stories and a dozen other subgenres.

A Must Read

For anyone contemplating Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, Donald Trump, Churchill, Hitler, Eisenhower, Lula, and thinking about 21st century economics and politics. Especially if you like a good Star Trek or Heinlein space opera...

Well told, well read.

Cara Gee is amazing

This book just flowed effortlessly from beginning to end with Cara Gee giving a great read full of passion and emotion. Thank you Cara for breathing life into Kameron’s work. I fully enjoyed it.

Not all that impressed. Not very immersive...

Lacking descriptive detail. Story was unique though I was only mildly entertained and often falling asleep...

Brilliant!

Beautifully structured. Unflinching. One of the best blends of drama, action, and social commentary that I've read.
