Warfare Infinitus: Squad Defect: Book I - The Imperial March

GY 4,376. The Old Empire has been fighting the same war for one thousand and forty-seven years.Specialist-Warden Cej Cael doesn't believe in anything - not the Empire, not the war, not the idea that survival means the same thing as purpose. He fights because the alternative is a firing squad. His sergeant, Rocks Caelid, has been keeping a record book for twenty years: every soldier who died, named instead of numbered, because someone has to say the names.What begins as a unit of misfits grinding through an impossible desert campaign becomes something neither of them planned for - a fracture in the institution that built them, a civilization deciding in real time what it is willing to become, and a coalition being built by a man who has spent thirty years turning the worst thing that ever happened to him into something that might make it impossible for it to happen to someone else.Warfare Infinitus: Squad Defect is the first book in an epic science fiction trilogy set across a galaxy of eight factions at war. It is a story about what institutions cost the people inside them, what names mean when the system calls you a number, and what it takes to build something in the ruins of what the war produced.For readers of Joe Abercrombie, Dan Abnett, and Iain M. Banks.
