The Light Brigade Show full title Written by Kameron Hurley Narrated by Cara Gee 3.5 / 5 ( 344 ratings ) About this audiobook 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. Never does trade its thematic explorations for character development or vice versa-they are one and the same. Her prose is punchy, and the dialogue sharp and urgent, providing a feeling of really being down there in the trenches with the soldiers. As the pages turn, ideas pile up, and Dietz forms genuine relationships with her fellow soldiers, and Hurley does a beautiful job exploring how they deal with death, loss, risk, and release. It’s brutal from its first pages, and never lets up. Hurley hounds the reader with a relentless pace, introducing them to a bevy of characters and never slowing down. It’s like a punch in the gut from the first page. The Light Brigade caused an immediate, visceral reaction in me as a reader. It.has the potential to become the next great Military SF classic. is an important, critical look at the role of how war bends and warps modern society. ![]()
