“Now you’re in the army, o-o-o!.. Now you’re in the army!..” Now you are new recruits of the space armed forces—drafted from all over Earth to defend against a space aggressor. What kind of star army can there be? Super-modern weapons? The romance of space battles? Not at all! Keep your pocket wide open! “Space meat”—that’s what it amounts to in essence.
And if you add to this relativistic effects, it turns out you’ll have to fight with outdated weapons—in unfinished suits—and even re-train every six months of your personal time. No one is planning to feel sorry for the cannon fodder…
And what if each tactical operation throws the soldier further and further into the future? Finding yourself and your place in a new, increasingly unfamiliar world—one that grows more and more unfriendly the farther you go?
You just have to hope for soldier’s luck: it will carry you through hundreds of years of war, help you find love and peace, where a veteran with deserved respect can finally feel at home!
