It has been said that securing the peace is every bit as challenging as fighting the war, and that is certainly true in this collection. It tells the story of a military intelligence unit (that acts more as a civil affairs unit) trying to make a difference in a brutal postwar environment. It is led by an idealistic young aristocrat turned soldier named Alice Malvin, and populated by a diverse of both professionals and misfits.The story revolves around the groups efforts to try and help their battered homeland, and the resistance they get from both nobles and peasants who are either profiting from the disruption or hurting from so many broken promises. In the midst of this, the team must try to understand their newest member, a huge but gentle man who can turn into a brutal killer with no regard for his own safety in an instant.This works out to be a pretty good setup for this story, as Alice's inexperience clashes with the cold hard reality around her. There is also the question of her new addition, and questions about special weapons that haunt this story line. I only wish that more time would have been spent on the conspiracy and less on the soldier himself, but hopefully that will improve.There's an interesting and challenging story at work here, and I definitely think there's quite a bit of potential. But, don't expect to walk into a simple war story. This one is going to take time, and a bit of patience.
