Overview
Maung is used to being hunted. As the last "dream warrior," a Burmese military unit whose brains are more machine than grey matter, everyone wants him deadāpunished for the multiple atrocities his unit committed during war.
But when an alien race makes its presence known on Earth and threatens to annihilate mankind, it gives Maung a chance to escape. Maung abandons his family on Earth to hide in the farthest reaches of the Solar System. There he finds love, his fellow Burmese countrymen exiled to labor on a prison asteroid, and the horrors of a war long since finished.
Maung also discovers a secret weapon system - one lost for almost a generation and which may help his people redeem themselves while at the same time saving the human race. War will come. But with Maung's discoveries and 100 years to prepare, maybe the Earth can be ready . . .

About T.C. McCarthy:
"McCarthy perfectly catches the attitudes of veterans among themselves and toward civiliansālaymen, betterāwhen they get back to the World."āDavid Drake
''Compelling . . . Recalling the work of Remarque, Willi Heinrich, and especially Michael Herr, McCarthy's delirious narrative avoids cliche and raises intriguing questions about what it means to be human.''āPublishers WeeklyĀ (starred review) onĀ Germline
"It's not just good . . .it's the mil-sf book I wish I could send back in time to beat outĀ Forever WarĀ for a Hugo. I never would have guessed McCarthy was an analyst . . . IĀ was sure he'd been on the pointy end for a long time."āErnest Lilley,Ā SF Revu
''The highly detailed, brutal depiction of futuristic warfare brilliantly complements the intimate narrative, which examines the insanity of war and those personally affected by it. Breathtaking and heartrending, this is the future of military science fiction.''āPublishers WeeklyĀ (starred review)
"A well written novel that makes you consider the costs of war in very personal terms."āSF Signal
