As I said, it's about war and it does not hold back so the content notes are far from completesproutly's review against another edition

Great military sci fi read. Has a thriller mystery vibe with a harsh critique of fascist capitalism along the way. I can't describe it too much more without giving away the plot, but I really liked the ending. Looking forward to exploring more of Kameron Hurley's works.

Hurley's ultra-capitalist dystopia is a terrifying vision of an imagined future, and the novel doesn't flinch away from everything that entails. There's a powerful anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist critique here, and the book is better for it.
