The novel “The Light Brigade” by Kameron Hurley was published for the first time in 2019.

Diez is one of the new recruits trained to fight for their corporation against the Martian colonists. The soldiers are sent to the battlefields by transforming them into light and then rematerializing them at their destination. The process is not without risks, and sometimes a soldier rematerializes where there’s already something.

During those trips, Diez starts to not recognize team members and destination places. Despite the confusion, Diez tries to continue fighting trying not to reveal any memory holes. However, the memory fragments start forming a consistent picture that goes against Diez’s assumptions about the war.
